Case studies.

Case 01 · Finding the Next Booking

How do you increase bookings without increasing the marketing budget? A commercial forecasting model that reallocated ~10% of media into higher-intent Search — unlocking a $10K–15K room-revenue opportunity.

Case 02 · Finding the Right Decision Makers

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.

Case 03 · Rethinking a €40K Media Strategy

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.

Case 04 · The Learning Phase Trap

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.

Case 05 · Direct Booking Growth

Rather than increasing spend, I improved the efficiency of every marketing dollar — reallocating SEM, layering dynamic remarketing and PMAX, and enhancing GA4 attribution.
