Creative has always been a game-changer in e-commerce, but some people have only recently realized it.

Performance Creative Strategist | I Help DTC Brands spending $20k-$50k per month on Meta create Direct Response Ads

In 2019, I left a secure 7-year 9-5 job and started my journey clueless in dropshipping

I lost my hard-earned savings, so I had to ask my parents to pay my rent

All I had left was my laptop and a big dream, so I began to learn how to run ads on Meta

In 2020, a marketing agency gave me a chance to freelance on a client's ad account. That changed everything.

Now, I manage over $100k+ in ad spend per month for various DTC brands and consistently double their returns

If you're looking to elevate your brand’s ad performance and are spending over $20k-$100k+ on ads, 

Here’s how I can help:

1. Make better ad creatives that hook customers' attention and convert.
2. Simplify your ad setup so you can eliminate the guesswork on your own.
3. Double your return on ad spend in 90 days

Or, if you want more personal support:

DM me 'review' for a full creative ad breakdown and a free audit of your ad account.

Also, follow me on LinkedIn for actionable tips on how to grow your DTC brands.

How I Write Meta Ad Briefs Using the 3C Framework
(and why it works with Meta's Andromeda update) 

Andromeda changed the rules. 

Small tweaks don't scale anymore. 
Similarity penalties hit faster. 
Headline swaps, Flagged as duplicates. 
Testing minor edits won't unlock new reach. 

Scaling now requires creative that looks, feels, and speaks like a completely different idea not just a variation. 

Here's the exact framework I use to brief ads for my clients 👇

How I Write Meta Ad Briefs Using the 3C Framework

The Real Goal of Meta Ads 
(It’s Not What You Think)

The goal of running ads on Meta isn’t to sell.
The goal of an ad is to get attention. 
The goal of attention is to earn a click. 
The goal of a click is to spark interest. 
The goal of interest is to build trust. 
The goal of trust is to create desire. 
The goal of desire is to drive action. 
The goal of action is to build a customer.

Most brands try to skip straight to the sale.

That’s why people ignore them.

When you run your next campaign, remember:

Your job isn’t to sell. 

Step 1 is to make someone care enough to listen.

Black Friday doesn’t reward great marketers.  It punishes the unprepared ones.  

Every year, I watch brands chase ROAS while bleeding margin, scrambling over stock, and killing good ads out of fear.  

BFCM doesn’t expose Meta it exposes your systems.

Here are the 6 lessons I learned from Launching Black Friday Ads.

6 Lessons from Launching Black Friday Ads

A huge mistake I see in ad accounts every week

Writing copy without a formula.

Here’s the truth 9-figure brands don’t wing it.

Their ads look simple, but every headline, hook, and line follows a structure built to sell.

Once you study enough of them, you start seeing the same patterns repeat.

These brands aren’t guessing what works. 

They’re using frameworks that turn creative into conversion.

Here are 6 copy formulas they use to do it.
