I build measurement-first growth systems for paid acquisition, attribution, and unit economics.
What I'm looking for
At Lena Bara Boutique Performance Marketing Agency, I build end-to-end measurement systems for acquisition decisions, from GA4, GTM, and Meta Pixel tracking to attribution, funnel analysis, and unit-economics models. I also launch and optimize Meta and Google Ads, build conversion-focused landing pages, automate lead flows into HubSpot, and create Looker Studio dashboards for spend, funnel drop-off, and cost per result.
My finance, commercial, and data-science background keeps my marketing work grounded in cost, margin, CAC, ROMI, LTV:CAC, and payback. Earlier, I helped grow a local rental business through digital acquisition and retention, and managed financial reporting and operational records for a Dubai trading company.
