What I deliver

01

Paid media across platforms

Google Ads, Meta Ads, TikTok Ads and Taboola Ads. From regulated credit to adventure tourism, with monthly budgets from R$900 to R$60k.

02

Measurement

Google Tag Manager at the center. All tracking goes through a single container, and I validate what each platform reports against analytics before optimizing on the number.

03

Funnels and landing pages

From capture to checkout, with the whole funnel instrumented before any budget goes live.

04

Creative, end to end

Video ads built with generative tools and Remotion, in hybrid editing: part by hand, part automated with Claude. I don't wait on an external editor to test a new angle, which cuts the test cycle from days to hours.

05

Custom web systems

When off-the-shelf tools don't measure what I need, I build. I have shipped an entire sales system for the sole purpose of closing the loop between ad and revenue.

06

Marketing coordination

A team of 3, an external media agency, and the bridge to sales, IT and finance.

Measurement before optimization

I don't optimize what I can't measure. Before any budget goes live, the whole funnel has to be instrumented: unique reach, link click, lead, and the sale at the end. Every step with its own number, not just what the platform chooses to show.

I centralize tracking in Google Tag Manager and cross-check what each platform reports against analytics, because an ad platform has a stake in its own results.

When off-the-shelf tools don't close the loop between ad and revenue, I build the system. I have built a sales system from scratch for the single reason of being able to attribute a sale to the creative that produced it.
