@salikyousif
I build measurable paid media, influencer, and e-commerce growth campaigns.
What I'm looking for
I manage €240,000 in annual media spend at Contour Software for hotel clients across Europe and the USA, translating GA4 attribution data into booking, revenue, and ROAS improvements. Through structured creative, audience, and bidding tests, I've delivered 30–40% campaign ROI improvements for accounts including MHL and easyHotel.
I've built social-first growth programmes across paid media, influencer, organic social, and email. At OutOrigin, I launched and ran an email marketing function that generated $100K+ in revenue, reduced PPC CPC by 50% while increasing conversions, and managed US-based creator partnerships end to end.
