What I'm looking for

I’m looking to support paid media strategy and optimisation for growth-focused teams—using advanced tracking, attribution, and full-funnel optimisation to deliver practical recommendations tied to lead quality, revenue efficiency, and scalable acquisition.

I’m a performance marketer with 7+ years of experience across Google Ads, Meta Ads, paid acquisition, analytics, conversion tracking, and performance reporting. I’ve worked across both ecommerce and lead generation, helping businesses improve efficiency, scale acquisition, strengthen tracking, and make smarter decisions from performance data.

In my current role as a Senior PPC & Paid Media Specialist at Galactic Fed (freelance, remote), I support paid media strategy, optimisation, reporting, and growth analysis for U.S.-based businesses across multiple industries. I focus on turning campaign data into practical, commercially useful recommendations tied to lead quality, revenue efficiency, and scalable growth.

My work spans Google Ads Search, Performance Max, Demand Gen, Meta Ads, and multi-channel analysis across LinkedIn and Reddit. I regularly support conversion tracking, attribution reviews, and reporting workflows using GA4, Google Tag Manager, Looker Studio, and platform reporting—paired with audience strategy and conversion-focused optimisation.

Before fully moving into digital marketing, I worked in film and production, and that background shaped my creative thinking, project ownership, and ability to perform in fast-paced, high-pressure environments. Earlier, as co-founder of Strathive, I planned, launched, and managed Google Ads campaigns and built complex tagging and reporting setups (including 500+ tags) to improve conversion tracking and data quality.
