I help brands make growth a system, not a guess.
Paid media, copy, and creative strategy for DTC and local service brands.
- Track record

Spend, ROI, and conversion figures come from Knox Marketing, where I ran 20 to 30 concurrent client accounts from February 2023 to May 2025.
Case studies.
Four accounts. Each one has its own page with the real numbers.

From a near-breakeven account to a $100K Black Friday.
Blended ROAS from 1x to 2.5-3.5x. Black Friday revenue up 33x. Pop-up conversion from 0.94% to 4.98%. - 02Beach Break · Beach travel business · Meta lead gen, Nov to Dec 2022Read it →
Fix the page first, then test the ads.
Cost per lead of $24 after one landing page fix, and a testing log that shows every loser. - 03USA Insulation · Whole-home insulation · Meta lead gen at Knox MarketingRead it →
Fewer leads on purpose.
18 local markets and a form built to qualify. Cost per lead was $25 to $35 in the best market. - 04American Grappling Federation · Jiu-jitsu tournaments · Upside GeeksRead it →
One ad system for every tournament.
One structure, four angles, and one checklist, built so a new tournament is a swap, not a rebuild.
Selected work.
Two short ads and a few statics. The full set, with what each piece was for, is on the portfolio page.
Deals extended through the holidays
Up to 35% off, then three proof points: 35+ awards, 300,000+ customers, and durability tested.

How I grow brands.
Five jobs, and the proof for each is above.
- 01
Paid media
Meta, Google, and TikTok campaigns managed against blended ROAS and CAC. Account rebuilds, budget allocation, and weekly calls on what to kill and what to scale.
- 02
Copy and creative strategy
Customer avatars, angles, and hooks, then the copy to carry them: ad copy, video scripts, pop-ups, and email. I decide what the creative should say and show before anything gets made.
- 03
Creative testing
One variable per test, cheap first rounds, then winners stacked. Every test goes in a log, losers included. AI helps me ship 3 to 5x more testable variants a week, and I pick and rewrite what runs.
- 04
Lifecycle
Klaviyo flows and campaigns for welcome, abandoned cart, post-purchase, and re-engagement, with segmentation that protects deliverability and sign-up forms built to convert. At NESTOUT the pop-up went from 0.94% to 4.98%.
- 05
Conversion and tracking
Landing page and funnel audits for speed, offer, forms, and message match. Conversion tracking in GA4, GTM, and Meta CAPI, with server-side tools brought in where needed.
Work experience.

About.
I'm a growth marketer in Newport Beach with ten years in paid media, email, and conversion work, mostly for DTC and local service brands. I also write the copy and set the creative strategy for the brands I work with, so the message and the media get built together.
I like the jobs with no playbook yet: an account sitting near breakeven, a landing page that loads too slow, a pop-up that never fires. I find the leak, test the fix, and write down what happened, including the tests that lose.
I use Claude and ChatGPT every day to brief, draft, and dig through exports. They speed up the work, and I check every number myself before it goes to anyone.
