E-Commerce and Lead Gen (FinServ) Media Buyer | Testing Emerging Ad Platforms Before They’re Cool

About

Performance marketer with 5 years of experience across Native and Paid Social. I've managed over $4.5M in ad spend across ecommerce and lead generation, with a focus on scaling profitably through creative testing, funnel optimisation and data-driven decision making. My strongest channel is Native, but I'm equally passionate about growing Meta and testing new acquisition channels before they become mainstream.
