Rebuilding the growth engine for a luxury DTC brand
From fragmented paid media and unreliable measurement to a connected acquisition, lifecycle, conversion, and decision system.
I combine senior growth strategy with hands-on execution across acquisition, paid media, lifecycle, analytics, attribution, automation, and marketing infrastructure, then build the systems that turn data into better operating decisions.
01 Selected work
A small number of cases, each with the context, constraint, my role, and only the outcomes that can be verified.
From fragmented paid media and unreliable measurement to a connected acquisition, lifecycle, conversion, and decision system.
A multi-million-dollar automotive media system for Toyota and Lexus spanning evergreen demand, model launches, seasonal campaigns, dealer actions, audience strategy, measurement, and continuous optimization.
A complex healthcare media program for Sanofi spanning programmatic, paid social, video, multicultural targeting, creative testing, and third-party measurement.
02 Practice
Not only media buying, not only analytics, not only martech. The value is in seeing how the pieces interact and fixing the part that is actually holding growth back.
Finding the actual constraint across acquisition, conversion, lifecycle, and reporting before prescribing a fix.
Paid media strategy, account structure, and operating cadence tied to business outcomes rather than platform-reported results.
Buying strategy, supply and inventory decisions, and the operational detail that decides whether programmatic spend is efficient.
Making the numbers trustworthy enough to allocate budget on: tracking integrity, attribution logic, and incrementality questions.
The tracking, data flows, automation, and tooling underneath the growth system, and how they fail quietly.
Connecting acquisition to retention: behavioral email and SMS, CRM workflows, referral, and repeat-purchase programs measured against downstream outcomes.

I’m glad to compare notes on growth systems, measurement, paid media, and the infrastructure underneath them.
