Performance Marketing & Paid Customer Acquisition
Disciplined, unit-economic-backed media buying engineered across Google Ads, Meta Ads, and LinkedIn. We replace wasteful vanity metrics with contribution margin modeling, algorithmic audience isolation, and relentless CAC reduction.
Why Most Paid Advertising Budgets Fail to Scale Profitably
Post-iOS14 privacy restrictions and saturated auction environments have exposed lazy ad tactics. Without mathematical discipline and attribution hygiene, paid acquisition quickly becomes an unsustainable money pit.
Vanity Clicks Over Qualified Pipeline
Ad agencies celebrate cheap clicks, impressions, and low Cost-Per-Click (CPC) numbers. But your sales team is drowning in junk leads that never turn into closed-won customers.
Broken Pixels & Overlapping Claims
Google Ads claims 80 conversions, Meta claims 90 conversions, and LinkedIn claims 40—yet your CRM recorded only 100 total sales. Ad networks take double and triple credit.
Rapid Creative Ad Fatigue
Campaigns perform well for 2 weeks, then ROAS plummets as audiences grow blind to repetitive ads. Without a continuous creative testing framework, performance stagnates.

Scaling Monthly Ad Spend from \$25k to \$95k Profitably with a 44% Drop in Cost-Per-Opportunity
The client was stuck at $25,000/month in Google Ads spend because scaling spend caused their Cost Per Demo to double. We completely redesigned their account architecture, instituted offline conversion imports that trained Google's Smart Bidding on closed-won enterprise revenue, and introduced LinkedIn ABM ads for top accounts. They reached $95,000/month in spend while improving ROAS from 2.1x to 4.3x.
Scale Your Media →Frequently Asked Questions About Performance Marketing
Common questions regarding budgets, platforms, and management structures.
To provide ad platform machine-learning algorithms with sufficient conversion volume and enable rigorous multivariate creative testing, we recommend a minimum paid media budget of $8,000 to $15,000/month. We frequently scale clients past $100,000+/month as unit economics are validated.
No. Percentage-of-spend pricing creates a perverse incentive for consultants to tell you to spend more money even when efficiency is decreasing. Our performance consulting engagements are structured around a flat, predictable advisory fee plus optional performance milestone bonuses tied to qualified pipeline created.
