Digital Marketing & Performance

Paid and organic that earns its budget. I help brands build full-funnel media, honest measurement and the discipline to double down on what works and cut what doesn’t.

The challenge

More spend rarely fixes weak performance

When growth slows, the reflex is to spend more — another channel, a higher budget, a new agency. But most performance problems aren’t a spend problem; they’re a targeting, creative, measurement or funnel problem hiding behind a blended number that looks fine until it doesn’t.

This practice fixes the fundamentals first: what each channel is really for, how you measure it honestly, and where the next rupee or dollar actually earns its return — before you scale anything.

What you walk away with

Outcomes, not activity

A channel plan with a job

Every channel mapped to a funnel stage and a purpose, so spend stops overlapping and competing with itself.

Measurement you trust

A clear read on what’s working — beyond last-click — so decisions rest on signal, not the platform’s own scorecard.

A scale-what-works plan

A prioritised roadmap that pours budget into proven winners and stops funding the rest.

What’s included

Everything under Digital Marketing & Performance

Engagements are scoped from this menu to the decision in front of you — you never pay for busywork.

Paid Media Strategy

  • Full-funnel media planning & budget allocation
  • Google, Meta, TikTok & marketplace ads strategy
  • Account structure & audience architecture
  • Creative testing & iteration frameworks
  • Bidding, budget pacing & scaling rules

Organic & Lifecycle

  • Organic social & content-led acquisition
  • Email & CRM lifecycle strategy
  • Retention, win-back & loyalty flows
  • Referral & partnership channels

Measurement & Optimisation

  • Attribution approach & incrementality thinking
  • KPI framework & reporting cadence
  • Funnel & landing-page conversion review
  • Marketing-mix & spend-efficiency analysis
  • Agency / in-house scorecards & QBRs
Who it’s for

Built for leaders answerable for the number

Founders, CMOs and growth leads who are spending real money on marketing and need an independent read on whether it’s working — and what to change — without an agency marking its own homework.

Signs you need this
  • Blended ROAS looks fine but you can’t tell which channel actually drives growth.
  • Spend keeps rising while efficiency quietly slips.
  • Your agency reports activity and platform metrics, not business outcomes.
  • You’re about to scale budget and want a second opinion before you do.

Questions

Frequently asked

This is a consulting practice — I set the strategy, measurement and the plan, and work with your in-house team or agency to execute. I can also help you hire or brief the right partner.

Full-funnel across paid search, paid social (Meta, TikTok), marketplace ads, plus organic, email/CRM and lifecycle. The point is the mix and the measurement, not any single platform.

By tying each channel to a role in the funnel and reading blended efficiency, incrementality and cohort behaviour together — so the platform’s self-reported numbers don’t drive the budget alone.

Yes. Often the most valuable role is an independent layer that sets the scorecard and keeps the agency accountable to business outcomes, not vanity metrics.
