Media Buying

Paid ads that are engineered, not gambled

Anyone can spend money on ads. The hard part is spending it profitably and doing it again next month at a bigger number. I build paid media systems on Meta and Google that target real buyers, get tested against real data, and scale only when the numbers say to.

The ad that earns the next step

Why most ad budgets underperform

They buy attention instead of buyers

Most advertisers chase reach. They blast a broad audience, celebrate impressions and clicks, and wonder why the sales don't follow.

The best media buyers understand something most don't: an ad's job usually isn't to make the sale. It's to earn the next step. People move through stages, from not knowing they have a problem, to looking for a solution, to choosing who to buy from, and the ad's job is to meet them at their stage and move them one step closer. Get that sequence right and the math finally works.

How I run paid media

Engineered, tested, scaled

01

Buyers, not just leads

I build campaigns to attract the people most likely to buy, not the cheapest clicks. A lead you can't close costs more than no lead at all.

02

Right message, right stage

Cold prospects, warm shoppers, and ready-to-buy customers all need different messages, mapped to where they actually are.

03

Creative & offer first

No targeting saves a weak offer or a boring ad. I focus on the message that stops the scroll, then let the platform work.

04

Test, read, scale

Every campaign runs a full business cycle before I judge it. Cut what's losing, double down on what's winning. Scale on evidence.

05

The whole funnel

Great ads pointed at a broken page still lose money. I make sure everything after the click works together.

06

Honest reporting

You see what's working and what isn't, with one person accountable for the result.

What working together looks like

Managed, and accountable to you

I manage Meta and Google ad campaigns as part of a complete growth strategy, with my media buyer Luke running day-to-day execution under my direction. You get a clear plan, honest reporting, and one person accountable for the results.

Media buying is a managed engagement. Pricing is scoped per account and ad spend, and we'll walk through it on the call.
