— Who I am

Performance media specialist for brands and agencies.

I run performance on large accounts with senior, technical, transparent delivery: budget handled responsibly and numbers open from day one. The confidence you need to scale a big account while keeping control of it.

When I join a project, you gain capacity, predictability and control over the performance operation, without building that structure in-house from scratch.

Every operation reaches the point where the account grows faster than the media structure behind it. Hiring a senior in-house performance team is expensive, slow, and often hard to justify.

That is where I come in: senior paid media capability, ready to run, embedded in your operation at whatever depth the project calls for.

— The method

The full performance cycle.

My scope covers the entire cycle, from planning to reporting. It is the whole operation, run by one person who answers for it end to end.

01

Strategic planning

I dig into the business before any campaign goes live. Performance starts before the first dollar is spent.

  • Diagnosis: goals, targets, benchmarks, budget and competitive landscape
  • Media plan: platforms, budget split, audiences, creative and KPIs
  • Full-funnel design, timeline and evolution roadmap
  • Seasonality, risks and contingency plans mapped upfront
02

Tracking infrastructure

The whole data layer built and validated before the budget moves.

  • Meta Pixel, Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics 4
  • Conversion events, server-side APIs and integrations
  • Data collection verified from day one
03

Custom dashboards

One dedicated dashboard per client. No templates, no noise.

  • Metrics designed around what matters in that specific project
  • Raw data turned into decisions
  • One shared view for the whole team
04

Campaign operation

Structure ready, operation running.

  • Campaign and audience architecture
  • Technical setup and ad publishing
  • Alignment with the creative team
  • Full integration with your in-house team when there is one
05

Continuous optimization

Daily management to keep the account moving forward.

  • Reading performance, opportunities and bottlenecks
  • Ongoing adjustments guided by data
  • Cadence adapted to each project
06

Transparency

Numbers stay open and results stay unedited.

  • What happened, exactly as it happened
  • Operational or platform issues reported the moment they show up
  • The whole team follows the real evolution
07

Communication

Close communication through the entire project.

  • Slack, email, video calls, presentations and check-ins
  • Working hours overlapping your team’s time zone
  • Language adapted to the audience, from the technical team to the board
08

Reporting

Reports that explain the numbers, beyond displaying them.

  • Results, analysis and learnings
  • Opportunities and the plan for the next cycle
  • What happened, why it happened and what gets optimized next
04
— Deliverables

What you receive.

The entire cycle turns into documents: the market landscape, the plan at two levels of depth, the brief the design team works from, and the dashboard that tracks delivery. All five come from the same model, so the numbers keep matching across them.

Document 01
Competitive benchmark
Who advertises in the category, at what media pressure, and which territories are still open.
Document 02
Executive overview
Three pages with the macro strategy, the numbers behind the plan and budget by stage, channel and destination.
Document 03
Full media plan
Twelve slides covering the brief, audiences, creative, the campaign-by-campaign mix and projections.
Document 04
Creative brief
Asset matrix by funnel stage, copy for each piece and specs per placement, formatted the way a design team expects it.
Document 05
Performance dashboard
The delivery panel: pace against plan, campaign by campaign, plus the weekly read.

A full worked example, from brief to projection, built on a fictional company with fictional numbers.

— What sets me apart

Why teams hand me the operation.

Senior paid media judgment, the ability to communicate it, and accountability for the budget. That is what holds an operation together.

Track record on large accounts

Millions in ad spend handled with structure, consistency and accountability, on accounts such as CAOA Motors, Samsung Services, Natura Musical and Hypera.

Able to teach it

Paid media instructor, 500+ professionals trained. I present results at any technical level, turning a complex decision into an easy one to follow.

Dashboards built to fit

One dedicated dashboard per operation. No off-the-shelf template, no noise, only the metrics that drive decisions on that project.

Range across industries

Dozens of verticals over the years. I get up to speed on a new market fast and adapt the strategy to very different business models.

Accountability on large budgets

High spend managed under control. A clean record on budget stewardship, with no history of waste.

06
— Frequently asked

What teams ask before starting.

Direct answers about how the operation works in practice.

Takes the paid media operation (Meta Ads and Google Ads) end to end: strategic planning, tracking infrastructure, campaign execution and continuous optimization, with reporting and full transparency on results and spend.
Always with a diagnosis before any change. The tracking setup and the account history get assessed first, so a new decision never overrides something that already works.
From accounts in their scaling phase to operations totaling more than $8M in managed spend, across automotive, dermocosmetics, apparel, real estate and entertainment, either directly with the brand or embedded in agencies such as Pullse, Cheil Brazil, Execution, Virtue and Convert.
Budget goes up only after the current campaign efficiency is proven. The decision comes from actual results rather than projections.
I work from Brazil (UTC-3), which overlaps the full US Eastern and Central business day and most of the Pacific one. Day-to-day runs on your team tools, with live calls for decisions and recorded walkthroughs when async works better.
Meta Ads and Google Ads as the core, plus the measurement layer around them: Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics 4, Search Console, conversion APIs and CRM feedback loops, so the algorithm optimizes toward qualified leads instead of raw form fills.
Hired directly, the media operation runs end to end with you. Through an agency, I take on the technical media execution while the agency keeps the client relationship and the brand strategy. The agency model is detailed on the agencies page.
