Approach

Measurement built for decisions, not vanity metrics.

01

Measure first.

Clean tracking (server-side GA4 and GTM, CAPI, consent compliance) before spend, so every decision rests on real data.

02

Spend toward revenue.

Optimize to CPA, CAC, ROAS and pipeline, not impressions and clicks.

03

Test the full funnel.

Audience, creative and landing page treated as one system, not separate levers.

04

Find the next channel early.

Live and creator commerce are where I built an edge before they were obvious. I look for that edge everywhere.

How I think about performance and measurement

The first $10K/month, spent properly

Concentration beats diversification at small budgets. How I'd structure a founder's first $10K/month in paid media — the 70/20/10 split, what to measure, and when to change course.
Insights banner for "What AI actually changes in paid media": an amber trend line rising across a dark dot grid

What AI actually changes in paid media (and what it doesn’t)

The auction was machine-run long before ChatGPT. Where AI genuinely changes paid media work — creative volume, analysis speed — and the three things that stay stubbornly human.

Server-side tracking is now the price of admission

Browser-side pixels now miss a meaningful share of conversions. Why server-side GA4 and Meta CAPI moved from nice-to-have to baseline — and the order I set them up in.
