@abelbaruwa
Performance marketing leader turning AI and paid media into revenue for online businesses.
What I'm looking for
I turn AI, content, and ads into revenue for online businesses by building systems that find where growth breaks. I’m driven by measurable outcomes—new users, sign-ups, ROAS, and conversion rate gains—backed by testing and performance reporting.
In senior performance marketing consulting roles, I’ve led growth strategy with Google, LinkedIn, and Facebook, managing ad budgets and using audience segmentation to improve relevance across paid channels. I re-engineer lead funnels and run A/B tests across landing pages and creatives, scaling what works and cutting what doesn’t.
As a marketing leader and advisor, I’ve helped brands translate complex offerings into clear, high-trust messaging that converts. I’ve designed marketing automation systems for retention and post-purchase engagement, and I’ve supported integrated marketing implementations across multiple channels to improve user acquisition efficiency.
I’ve also built and led teams—co-founding an agency, acquiring clients, and producing multi-channel campaigns combining SEO, social media, and paid advertising. Whether it’s creative testing, email conversion optimization, or performance analytics, my approach is consistent: stop guessing, optimize the system, and make marketing pay.
