About Me

Performance marketing, minus the buzzwords.

For the past six years, I've been a performance marketer. The last few of those have been obsessed with one thing: making AI actually useful for marketing, not the buzzword version. It's the version that runs your ads, builds your content, and tracks your leads while you sleep.

I find where people are already looking for what you sell, and then I put your ad or content in front of them. If your marketing feels busy but broken, that's usually a system problem, and I'm pretty good at fixing system problems.

Services

Six ways I plug into your business.

Google Ads Management

I make sure I bring your products directly to people who are already actively searching and ready to buy from you.

Paid Social Ads

I set up your social media ads to target the exact right audience on each platform, creating a strategy that ensures whenever you put money into ads, you actually get results.

Analytics & Reporting

I strip the confusion from numbers. Think of me as the translator who breaks down complex data into simple, actionable items, so you can see exactly what is working, what is wrong, and where your opportunities lie.

Email & Funnel Design

To me, marketing and sales are like dating. Asking a client to buy from you on the first touch is like asking someone to marry you on a first date. Without a proper system of communication to guide them through multiple dates, it just won't work. I build email and funnel systems that keep you in constant, natural communication with your clients. Clients who work with me typically see a 12% increase in revenue from their email and funnel marketing alone.

AI Automation

A common misconception is that AI is here to replace everyone's work. When I work with clients, I guide them to build useful automation workflows that solve real, specific business problems. Not everyone needs an AI automation system, but if you do, the custom workflows I set up will save you at least five hours of your time every week.

Content Marketing & SEO

AI has made content marketing incredibly easy, but that is the catch. It is no longer about volume, it is about quality. I help you craft a compelling story and tell it to your audience in a way that positions you as an authority in your space, building trust so they are naturally compelled to buy from you.
