Performance Marketing & Brand Growth

Most marketers are
one or the other.
I'm both.

With extensive experience building paid media, content, and brand growth systems for startups, challenger brands, and growth-stage companies, client-side and agency. The kind of marketer who finds the insight in the data and builds campaigns around it.

My Approach

I start with the objective
and work backwards.

Most marketers start with the channel, the creative, or the campaign. The sequence matters more than most people realize, and it's where most campaigns are won or lost before they ever launch.

Layer 01
Audience Psychology

Before creative, before a single dollar is spent, I map how the audience actually thinks. Not demographics. Not personas. The real stuff:

  • What they value and what they fear
  • What stands between them and the action you need them to take
  • How they should feel when they experience the product or service
  • Whether that experience changes their behavior. Moves them from passive to active, from curious to committed, from one-time buyer to loyal advocate
Layer 02
Strategic Architecture

Once I understand the psychology, I design the logical structure that moves that audience from awareness to action. This is where analytical thinking anchors creative possibility, not to limit it, but to give it direction.

The plan becomes the bridge between who the audience is and what you need them to do.

Layer 03
Creative in Service of Both

The creative concept comes last, and that's intentional. It's not blank-canvas creativity. It's creativity constrained by psychology and grounded in data. That constraint is what makes it work.

The reason this process works is that I can speak both languages fluently. I understand why the data matters and why it needs to feel human. I know why the creative idea works and why it's never enough without the plan behind it.

About

The marketer who owns
the strategy and stays close to the work.

With extensive experience at the intersection of performance and brand, I know which work to own, which to direct, and which to hand to someone better positioned to execute it. I work closely with senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams to align marketing execution with broader business goals, keeping accountability connected at every level. What I don't do is lose touch with the work itself.

I've done that work client-side and agency, across fintech, CPG, food & beverage, fitness, travel, luxury lifestyle, and emerging technology. What that breadth taught me is that strong marketing fundamentals travel. The industry changes. What changes is how quickly I learn the landscape, test what works, and adapt in fast-moving environments.

I'm an early adopter of AI tools in my workflow, a believer that what resonates with an audience is discovered through testing and not declared in a brief, and someone who finds the insight in the data before deciding what to create.

I've spent my career doing three things well: building the strategy, directing the creative, and proving both with numbers. The fundamentals stay constant. What changes is how quickly I learn the landscape, test what works, and adapt in fast-moving environments.
