Paid Media
Google and LinkedIn campaigns run with tracking readiness, honest reporting and lead quality analysis, not vanity metrics.
01 / Friction
The problem this solves
Ad budget spent through platforms and agencies with unclear results, weak tracking and no view of lead quality.
Typical warning signs
- The agency reports clicks and impressions; nobody reports pipeline.
- Conversion tracking was set up once and never verified.
- Landing pages are generic and shared across every campaign.
- Retargeting runs on default settings against everyone.
- Budget is spent evenly regardless of what converts.
02 / Change
Outcomes it is designed to create
- Campaign structures built around intent and account fit, not platform defaults.
- Conversion tracking verified before spend scales.
- Landing pages designed per offer with clear conversion paths.
- Reporting that shows cost per qualified lead and pipeline contribution.
Spend follows evidence, not habit
Paid media fails in two familiar ways: tracking that cannot see what happens after the click, and optimisation towards leads that sales quietly ignores. Both are fixable before the first campaign launches, which is exactly when I fix them.
My campaign work sits on top of the rest of the system: verified conversion tracking, landing pages built for the offer, CRM feedback on lead quality, and reporting in terms leadership recognises: cost per qualified lead, cost per opportunity, pipeline contribution.
What the engagement covers
Strategy and structure. Channel selection and account architecture driven by intent and fit.
- In B2B, usually fewer campaigns, tighter audiences, offer-specific landing pages.
- LinkedIn account-based structures where precision pays.
- A regionalised account-based build lifted click-through by ~70% against the previous approach.
Tracking readiness. Measurement verified before spend scales.
- Pre-launch audit of conversion events and attribution windows.
- CRM connection confirmed end to end.
- No budget scales on numbers you cannot trust.
Landing pages. Per-offer pages with one job each.
- Built on the site’s design system, not a disconnected page-builder.
- One offer, one action per page.
- Shipped fast, so campaigns are not waiting on pages.
Optimisation and experimentation. A weekly cadence with explicit hypotheses.
- Test audiences, offers, creative and bidding in sequence.
- Record every decision and its result.
- Feed the learning back into account structure.
Budget governance and lead quality. Spend aimed at revenue, not vanity.
- Rules for when budget moves and why.
- A standing feedback loop with sales.
- Optimisation targets revenue-producing leads, not form fills.

Read insightFrequently asked questions
What budgets do you work with?
From focused test budgets to established multi-market accounts. What matters more than size is governance, agreeing what the budget is allowed to do, what proves it is working and when it moves. I have managed multi-channel B2B campaigns across Google, LinkedIn, Meta and TikTok.
Why do you insist on tracking before launch?
Because optimisation is only as good as its signal. Scaling spend on unverified conversion data wastes budget invisibly. A tracking readiness check costs days and routinely changes campaign decisions from the first week.
