Google & YouTube Ads Team


Role: Advertising Strategist

Project: Performance Advertising Strategy for High-Growth, SMB Owners

Years: 2019 to 2021

Challenge: The core of my role was earning the trust of SMB founders and executives to invest and growth Google and YouTube Ads. Our challenge was to provide white-glove support from ad production to campaign operations, aligning niche client goals with tailored solutions to generate revenue.

Solution: I learned the best way to build trust is to drive short-term results, presenting a long-term plan with compelling data to back it up. Crafting bespoke campaigns, workshopping A/B tests, enlisting for exclusive betas and whitelists and more lead to significant client profits.

Integrated Platforms

My primary focus was Google’s Search, Display, YouTube and Shopping, leveraging their reach and targeting capabilities to drive client growth.

We leveraged secondary platforms, including Discover, Gmail, Google My Business, Maps, Partners and Play, to create a multi-channel advertising strategy that aligned with each client’s unique needs and growth goals.

Tailor-Made Campaigns

Go-to campaigns included Performance Max, Traditional and Dynamic Search and YouTube to maximize reach and engagement.

We also used secondary campaigns like App, Call-Only, Discovery, Display, Local and YouTube Masthead to build a well-rounded strategy that met diverse client objectives.

Diverse Industries

We were challenged to work across a range of industries, including:

Business, Personal & Home Services, E-Commerce & Retail, Financial Services, Food & Beverage, Healthcare & Wellness, Higher Education, Hospitality & Travel, Legal, Real Estate and Technology.

This breadth allowed me to tailor strategies to specific industry needs and leverage best practices for each unique sector.

Revenue Impact

With quarterly quotas of $10-15 million across a rotating client base of 75-150 accounts, my financial impact over two years includes managing over $80 million in revenue and generating more than $20 million in sales.

Surpassing a global division sales record, we closed a $10.5 million quarterly commitment from a previously-dark account, showcasing exponential growth and aligned outcomes.
