Crunched the numbers of paid media acquisition campaigns for one of the UK's 5 biggest PPC spenders (at the time) to make sure we were spending the right amount of money in the right places to maximise our return.

Learned a lot, left to found my own agency as running the campaign strategy is more fun than just modelling it.
