Maximize ROAS Across
Every Paid Channel.

$10M+ in ad spend managed. I build paid media systems that scale profitably — across Meta, Google, YouTube, and Native — without the reckless growth that destroys margins.

My Approach

Strategy before spend. Always.

Most brands waste the first 30–60% of their ad budget because they launch before understanding their funnel, their audience, or their creative angle. I reverse this. We build the machine before we fuel it — and the machine compounds.

Platforms

Where I operate

Not a specialist locked into one channel. A multi-platform operator who knows how each channel fits the funnel and when to scale each one.

Google Ads

Search, Display, Performance Max, Shopping, and Discovery campaigns. I know the platform deeply — including how to fight waste from Search Partners, when to use PMax vs. manual, and how to read signals most managers miss.

  • Paid Search (brand + non-brand)
  • Performance Max architecture
  • Display & Remarketing
  • Shopping & PMAX product feeds

YouTube Ads

I've managed YouTube spend at a scale few consultants touch. In-stream, Shorts, and demand gen campaigns — with creative strategy baked in. I help you create the content that actually converts, not just the content that gets views.

  • In-stream & Shorts campaigns
  • Demand Gen strategy
  • Creative brief development for video
  • Audience targeting & suppression

Meta Ads

Facebook and Instagram campaigns built for scale, not just for clicks. Broad audience strategies, creative rotation systems, and a data architecture that tells you what's actually driving revenue — not just ROAS.

  • Prospecting & retargeting architecture
  • Creative testing frameworks
  • Catalog & dynamic ads
  • Attribution setup & analysis

Native Ads

Taboola, Outbrain, and programmatic native. Often the most overlooked channel for brands who've plateaued on search and social. High volume, cost-efficient, and excellent for content-forward offers.

  • Advertorial & content-native strategy
  • Taboola & Outbrain management
  • Audience overlap analysis
  • Cross-channel attribution
My Process

How I build a profitable paid media system

I don't take shortcuts. Every campaign starts with deep work that most media buyers skip — because the shortcuts are exactly why most ad accounts plateau or break.

1

Account & Funnel Audit

Before spending a dollar, I audit your current setup: campaigns, tracking, landing pages, and funnel conversion rates. I find the leaks first.

2

Audience & Offer Mapping

I map your audience segments to the right offers and angles. The wrong message to the right person converts at 0.3%. The right message at 3%.

3

Creative Strategy

I brief your creative team (or mine) on angles, formats, and hooks that are likely to outperform. Backed by data, not intuition.

4

Campaign Architecture

Clean structure: proper segmentation, bid strategies, and budget allocation. Designed to scale, not to hit vanity metrics.

5

Test & Iterate

Weekly testing cadence. What beats control gets rolled out. What loses gets killed. The machine continuously improves.

6

Scale Profitably

When unit economics work, we scale. When they slip, we investigate. I watch ROAS, CAC, and LTV — not just CPM.

"Shmuel's efforts helped us grow to become the highest spending YouTube advertiser in the non-pharma or device health space. His SEM strategies and email automation improvements drove hockey stick growth."
