Case studies.
A leading global technology company needed MQLs for its cybersecurity solution across the Middle East — with no landing page and a locked-down press release. I redesigned the journey instead.
The client wanted MQLs from 400 strategic enterprise accounts across 8 countries. I refined the audience from 9M to ~50K and rebuilt the plan as a three-stage full-funnel strategy.
A Meta remarketing campaign was stuck in the Learning Phase. The fix wasn't audience size or creative — it was matching the audience window to the hotel's actual 35–55 day booking lead time.
Rather than increasing spend, I improved the efficiency of every marketing dollar — reallocating SEM, layering dynamic remarketing and PMAX, and enhancing GA4 attribution.
