Services

Six ways to work together. Each one is scoped around your goal, and quoted after we talk.

Paid media and performance marketing

Google and Meta campaigns planned around a measurable goal, then set up, monitored and adjusted. The focus is on return on investment and cost per acquisition.

Suited to: organizations that want enquiries, enrollments, bookings or installs from paid channels.

  • Channel and media mix plan
  • Campaign structure and setup on Google Ads and Meta Ads
  • Audience, keyword and placement selection
  • Budget pacing and CPA and ROI optimization
  • Regular performance reporting

Social media management

A steady, planned presence on your social channels that supports your paid campaigns instead of running separately from them.

Suited to: brands and institutions that need consistent posting and a clear content calendar.

  • Content planning and monthly calendar
  • Caption and copy drafts
  • Scheduling and posting
  • Community coordination with your team

Creative and campaign direction

Clear briefs and messaging so designers, writers and video or animation producers make assets that fit the campaign goal, then a structured way to test them.

Suited to: new offers, launches and campaigns where the ads need fresh creative.

  • Campaign brief and key messages
  • Creative briefs for image, video and animation
  • Coordination with designers and writers
  • Creative test plan and findings

Analytics and technical integration

Measurement that is agreed before spend begins, so results can be read with confidence. I work with your developers or BI team on what needs to be tracked.

Suited to: teams that cannot yet say which campaigns produce which results.

Tools such as Google Tag Manager, GA4, Meta Pixel and Microsoft Clarity may be part of an implementation. They are confirmed with you for each project before any work starts.

  • Measurement plan: goals, conversions and naming rules
  • Tracking requirements for your developers or BI team
  • Attribution approach
  • Performance reports tied to your goals

Lead generation and acquisition

Campaigns built to bring in people who take a defined next step, such as an enquiry, an application, a booking or an install.

Suited to: education enrollment, hospitality bookings, diaspora and remittance audiences, and app or OTT acquisition.

  • Offer and audience definition
  • Geo-targeted and multilingual campaign setup
  • Ad to landing page to enquiry path review
  • Messaging channels such as WhatsApp Business and SMS where suitable

Digital strategy and account coordination

One person keeping channels, creative and media pointed the same way, with regular communication so you always know what is happening and why.

Suited to: teams juggling several channels, agencies or suppliers.

  • Channel mix recommendation
  • Campaign roadmap
  • Creative and media alignment
  • A single point of contact and ongoing updates

How we could work together

A proposed working approach in four steps. We adjust it to fit your project.

  1. Discover

    We talk through your goal, audience, offer and what you have already tried. I review any existing accounts and data.

  2. Plan

    I propose channels, creative needs, measurement and a budget split. You receive a written scope and a quote for my fees.

  3. Execute

    Campaigns, content and tracking are set up and launched, with designers, writers and technical teams coordinated as needed.

  4. Optimize

    I watch the results against the agreed goal, test creative and targeting, adjust spend, and report what changed and why.

Questions

If yours isn't here, send it with your project brief.

What can you take on, and what is outside scope?

I cover paid media, social media management, creative direction, analytics planning, lead generation and digital strategy. If your project needs something beyond that list, I will say so in the written scope and we decide together how to handle it.

Do you work alone or with a team?

My portfolio outlines six roles that a campaign may need: performance marketer, social media manager, creative designer, creative director, content writer and key account manager. I act as your main contact. If a project needs design, copy or technical input, I coordinate it and tell you in the scope who is involved. I can also work alongside your own designers, developers and BI team.

How much do you charge?

Pricing is custom. I do not publish fixed prices because the work depends on the channels, the amount of creative and the reporting you need. Send a project brief and I will reply with a quote for my fees.

Is advertising budget included in your fees?

No. Advertising spend is separate from my professional fees. We agree the spend together before campaigns launch, and you can see it in the platform reports.

Can you guarantee results?

No. I do not promise specific returns, because outcomes depend on your offer, market, budget and creative. What I commit to is clear goals, measurement set up before launch, and reporting that tells you what happened.

What do you need from me to start?

Your goal, the audience you want to reach, a rough budget range for advertising, and access to any existing ad accounts or analytics. If you have none of these yet, the Discover step is where we work it out.

Tell me what you want to achieve. I'll reply with questions or a quote.
