I got so many great tips during this call that I could hardly wait to implement them! Alex's wealth of knowledge on LinkedIn ads and what role they play in the overall growth strategy is unbeatable. He also took the time to understand my situation in order to give me appropriate advice. Thank you so much, Alex!
OMG, Not only did Alex tell me what I was doing wrong, he actually walked my step by step over how to improve our LinkedIn ads campaign. As in share screen, click here, type this, click here! Now I see why what I built wasn't working and really excited to see the results from the new campaign we co-created :)
We had an awesome 30-minute consultation with Alex that was super helpful. He gave us actionable structures for our LinkedIn Ads strategy tailored to our B2B SaaS product. Alex also walked us through how to properly organize our LinkedIn Ads account, which we’ll definitely be using moving forward. On top of that, he shared solid advice on lead generation, focusing on not just getting leads but actually turning them into revenue. I highly recommend Alex to anyone looking to level up their LinkedIn Ads game.

Expertise
Growth marketing
I can help you review your existing growth strategy and: 1) identify growth opportunities, 2) share tips for conducting tests, and 3) assist you in implementing specific campaigns.
Marketing automation
I have experience with both Hubspot and ActiveCampaign. I can guide you on using them to align Marketing and Sales—a crucial aspect for B2B companies. Additionally, I can assist with Chatbots, Workflows & Sequences, and automation integrations using Zapier and similar platforms.
PPC strategies
I've helped my clients getting 200-300% ROAS with their LinkedIn Ads campaigns. I can show you how to design a LinkedIn Ads campaign plan, structure your campaigns, use your existing content, setting retargeting audiences, exclude audiences to reduce CPC and sync your CRM with LinkedIn Ads, among other things This is the area where I can provide the most value!
Technology and tools
Did anyone say AI?? Jokes aside, I'm a bit of a tech geek and I'm always on the lookout for new marketing tools to make my life a bit easier (sometimes I make it more complex, but I won't share those ones with you!)
User research
User research is crucial for B2B companies. Typically, you don't have as much user data as you would with B2C, and tests aren't that easy. Therefore, talking to your customers is key! I can help you setting up some processes to understand what your users really want. Additionally, I can also show you how to transform this info into creatives that you can use in your marketing campaigns.
Venting frustration
I get it. The corporate world can be a nightmare, and that's probably one of the reasons you're in the startup scene. You enjoy rapid changes, high growth, and having fun along the way. However, it can become quite intense at times (or most of the time). If that's the case, know that you have a friendly marketer here for a bit of venting!
