Expertise
Conversion rate optimisation
Experience in customising customer funnels in Influencer Marketing to ensure the user journey is optimised for conversion and overall smooth experience. I help with best practices on Youtube for conversion as well as some experience running A/B test in landing pages in influencer campaigns.
Influencer Marketing
First started 5 years ago with 5 figures budget and scaled that to now having spent 20M+ with positive ROI across 8000+ campaigns live to date, working with 7+ agencies currently across all markets globally. I've learned a lot on what it takes to scale and all the best practices to create a sustainable influencer marketing ecosystem and one of the main pillars of growth for the company.
Operations
I've experienced the necessary adaptations required to scale an influencer marketing channel to 8-figure annual spending globally. I can offer advice on some of the most efficient operational strategies to achieve this level of growth.
Toolkit

Miro
5 years of experienceI frequently use Miro to map out complex campaigns, finding it an invaluable tool for simplifying and clearly communicating strategies. It's especially effective for ensuring management understands the campaign plan and for collaborating with creative specialists when requesting assets for your marketing efforts.

Monday
7 years of experienceI've used Monday.com to efficiently manage up to seven different agencies, handling everything from influencer campaign reviews to tracking links and coordinating deliverables. It's been an essential tool for streamlining communication and keeping everything on track.
Looker
7 years of experienceI've relied on Looker dashboards for all data performance tasks, especially as campaigns scale. It’s invaluable for centralizing, filtering, and maintaining a top-level view of operations, which is particularly crucial when managing global influencer marketing efforts.
Youtube
7 years of experienceI've managed a significant number of campaigns on YouTube and gained deep insights into optimizing the platform for both conversion rates and CPNU. Through hands-on experience, I've learned the best practices that can help make your YouTube marketing efforts more effective in influencer marketing.
