Performance, proven

A performance-led digital marketing agency turning paid media and data into measurable growth — with the spend and the proof under one roof.

What we do

The full performance stack

From the first impression to the reported outcome — media, measurement, and the systems that connect them.

Paid Media Strategy & Execution

Put budget where it converts — search, social, and programmatic, planned and bought with measurement built in from day one.

Business Analytics & Data Visualization

Dashboards and reporting that make performance legible — so every dollar is accountable and every decision has a number behind it.

Website Development

Fast, conversion-ready sites and landing pages built to perform — with measurement wired in from the start.

Site Tagging & Measurement

Clean tracking, solid event design, and data you can trust — because measurement is only as good as the data underneath it.

Data-Driven Content Optimization

Every change validated through A/B testing and analytics — data-driven, not guesswork, and always measured against performance.

Google Property Setup

Analytics, Business Profile, Search Console, Ads, and YouTube — properly configured and connected so you own your data from day one.

Positioning

The signal in the noise

SO Media sits at the intersection of media buying and measurement. Many agencies do one or the other well; our promise is that the spend and the proof live under one roof — accountable, precise, and decisive.

That promise is backed by 13+ years of hands-on, enterprise-level experience across paid media and analytics — the kind of rigor usually reserved for national brands.

Learning what makes performance marketing actually stick — and bringing that playbook to every client.

Built on ethics

Healthy partnerships are built on integrity — and we've seen firsthand that the ones that aren't, fail.

Business ethics stays at the forefront of everything we do. It's not just the principled path — it's what makes the work, and the partnership, last.

Transparency and honesty aren't extras. They're the foundation every engagement is built on, from the first conversation through the final report.

Digital footprint

Your customers are already searching

A strong digital presence puts your business in front of customers at the exact moment they're ready to act. The businesses that show up consistently across channels — search, social, maps, and email — are the ones that capture the lead before a competitor does.

The experience

Big-brand rigor, in your corner

With over 13 years of experience driving revenue and innovation across the digital marketing ecosystem, I help brands and agencies navigate today’s complex media landscape. My career spans leadership roles at global ad tech firms, premier agencies, and brand-side operations, giving me a 360-degree view of what truly drives business growth. Most recently, as Senior Director of Programmatic Delivery at Azerion, I led a high-performing trading team managing over $7M in quarterly revenue across 7 DSPs and 6 SSPs. My background also includes managing massive enterprise portfolios exceeding $60M at MiQ Digital and leading multi-channel strategies for iconic brands like Omni Hotels and Cole Haan at PMG. I have built proprietary B2B audience taxonomies from scratch, co-developed Retail Media Networks with top-tier consultancies like McKinsey, and engineered advanced data hygiene systems that save hundreds of operational hours.

Recognizing that the digital landscape has become increasingly fragmented, opaque, and difficult for businesses to navigate with confidence, I chose to launch my independent consulting practice. My mission is simple: to help brands decode the complexities of the digital ecosystem in an honest, transparent, and BS-free way. Free from agency biases or vendor constraints, I act as a trusted partner who puts your data and ROI first.

As an independent consultant, I bridge the gap between complex technical execution and high-level business strategy. Whether optimizing multi-million dollar programmatic setups, auditing data privacy and compliance, or designing bespoke full-funnel media strategies, I help organizations eliminate inefficiencies, scale their media capabilities, and unlock clear, uncompromised ROI.
