performance marketer for brands spending serious budgets

10+ years experience budgets > £300k/mth proprietary software driving automation & growth ecommerce / apparel / lead gen ex-head of paid digital meta · google · tiktok blended cac, roas & incrementality six-figure monthly budgets

hey — i'm mike.

i'm a technical performance marketer — not a general one. 10+ years running end-to-end paid across meta, google and tiktok, managing upwards of £500k/mth.

marketing is only one part of the funnel. product, price, place and promotion — i execute the promotion, and play a heavy analysis and insight role across the rest, because that's where most of the growth is actually hiding.

the edge is resolution: breaking out variables most teams never see, then moving on them fast. that's also why i built automatedAds.

i built the tooling i run on

automatedAds.

sharper insights. faster execution.

i built it. a decade of doing this by hand turned into software — pulling live from meta, tiktok and shopify so the analysis i used to rebuild every week is just there, every day.

it runs underneath everything else on this page. the granularity in my reporting isn't manual heroics — it's tooling.

four ways i drive growth

01

technical paid media

end-to-end management across meta, google and tiktok — run by a technical specialist, not a generalist. every variable broken out, tested and acted on before the competition sees it.

creative testinggranular analysisfast iteration
02

growth & measurement

blended cac, blended roas, contribution and incrementality. pixel and tag implementation, plus the infrastructure needed to trust the numbers you're spending against.

03

insight beyond promotion

marketing is one p of four. i execute promotion — and feed the analysis into product, price and place, because that's where the rest of the growth actually sits.

automation & tooling

python-powered reporting, api integrations and custom builds — the automation layer that makes the granularity above practical rather than theoretical.

how i break things down

i'm a technical performance marketer, not a general one. the advantage comes from resolution — seeing variables most teams never break out, and acting on them before anyone else does.

  1. 01
    creative, component by component

    not just which ad wins — which parts of it do. hook, format, talent, angle, length, first three seconds. so the next brief is informed rather than guessed.

  2. 02
    funnel depth, not just platform reporting

    what's working top-line versus what's actually converting further down. platform-attributed roas and real contribution are different numbers, and i report both.

  3. 03
    revenue structure

    which products, price points and cohorts the revenue is really coming from — so budget follows margin, not just volume.

  4. 04
    audience & placement splits

    age, gender, platform, placement. the aggregate cpa hides the pockets that are carrying it and the ones bleeding it.

  5. 05
    speed of iteration

    launch fast, kill fast, double and triple down faster. the edge is usually cycle time, not cleverness.

most of this runs through automatedAds — the tooling exists because the analysis came first.

two very different games

33mm · vanquish fitness · emma j shipley

end-to-end budget ownership, judged on revenue rather than platform metrics.

  • managing full monthly budgets, from allocation down to ad level
  • which revenue is driving performance — not just which ads are
  • blended cac, roas and contribution across the whole account
  • product, price point and cohort analysis feeding the media plan

a technical edge game — win on testing velocity and volume of iterations.

  • heavy a/b and creative testing as the default operating mode
  • launch extremely quickly, pause just as quickly
  • identify what works and double, then triple down at pace
  • scaling budgets fast without losing efficiency

we could be a good fit if —

as a performance marketer, i need ample investment to test, optimise, and ultimately get the best results. below that threshold there simply isn't enough signal to work with.

growth compounds when you trust the person spending the budget. i manage upwards of £500k/mth, with 10+ years of validation behind it.

former head of paid digital, services from £1k/mth. monthly basis — cancel any time. leaner than a full-time hire, often sharper.
