Sound familiar?

You hired an agency. You got an account manager.

The senior who pitched you disappears after the contract is signed. Here’s what usually follows.

Rotation

Your account manager changed three times this year

Every new person starts from zero, and your account pays for their learning curve.

Capacity

The person on your account juggles dozens of other accounts

Your campaigns get a slot in someone’s week, not their attention.

Reporting

Pretty monthly reports, no decisions

Charts about clicks and impressions. Nothing about what changes next week and why.

Data

Google and Meta both claim the same sale

The platforms report more revenue than your bank account sees. Nobody can tell you which number is true.

Lock-in

A 12-month contract and a fee tied to spend

The more you spend, the more they earn, even when spending more is the wrong call.

Silence

Nobody touched the account in two weeks

You find out when results drop, not when the problem starts.

There’s a simpler way: one senior, directly on your account.

The difference

A typical agency vs working with me

Typical agency
Working with me
Who works on your account
A junior or mid-level manager, supervised from a distance
Me, from the first call onward. The person you meet is the person who does the work.
Accounts per person
As many as it takes to hit their margins
A capped roster. We choose our clients too, and we never grow it at the expense of quality.
How you pay
A fixed fee plus a percentage of ad spend, which rewards spending more
A clear monthly fee, agreed upfront on the call
Contract
6 to 12 months, locked in
Month to month after onboarding. I keep clients through results, not contracts.
How often the account is checked
Before the monthly report
Every week by me, every day by automated alerts
Who owns the account

You. Your ad accounts, pixels, tags and data stay yours.
My services

Three channels and the tracking, one senior running them together

Most freelancers do one platform. I run search, social, AI search ads and the tracking underneath them, so they stop fighting over the same sale.

Search · Shopping · YouTube

Google Ads

Catch people when they’re already looking. Structure, bidding and feeds built around your margins, not around clicks.

  • Search & Performance Max
  • Shopping & Merchant Center
  • YouTube & Demand Gen
  • Bidding on profit, not volume
Facebook · Instagram

Meta Ads

Where I started, 9 years ago. Creative testing, account structure and scaling that holds up after the first good month.

  • Advantage+ & catalog ads
  • Lead forms tied to your CRM
  • Creative testing by concept
  • Scaling without resetting the learning phase
New channel

ChatGPT Ads

Your offer, inside the conversations where buyers now ask for recommendations. I’m already working with ChatGPT Ads, so you can test the channel early, on a controlled budget.

  • Early-mover testing plan
  • Measured against Google & Meta
  • Small budget, clear stop rules
  • Messaging for AI search
Server-side

Advanced tracking

The instruments everything else depends on. If the platforms can’t see your sales, they can’t find you more of them.

  • Server-side tagging
  • Conversions API & enhanced conversions
  • GA4 you can actually trust
  • Consent Mode v2 done right
Why tracking comes first

Your ads may be working better than your reports say

Every month, part of your sales never reaches Google or Meta. The platforms then optimize on an incomplete picture, and so do you.

  • iPhone privacy settingsMany iOS users can’t be tracked from ad click to purchase.
  • Ad blockers and browsersThey stop tracking scripts from loading.
  • Cookie refusalsVisitors who say no disappear from your data completely.
Sales the platforms can seeIllustrative example
Before61 of 100 sales
After I rebuild the tracking94 of 100 sales

What I set up, for the technical folks

  • Server-side GTM
  • Meta Conversions API
  • Enhanced conversions
  • Consent Mode v2
  • Offline conversions
  • Deduplication

Recovered data means the algorithms learn from real buyers again, and your decisions rest on real numbers.

About me

I started with Meta Ads 9 years ago. I still run every account myself.

I’ve worked in social media since 2010, moved into paid social in 2017 and never left performance marketing. Today I run Google Ads, Meta Ads and ChatGPT Ads with the same depth, plus the tracking that ties them together.

Behind the scenes, my wife Anca Vasile keeps operations running. Together we’ve built our own AI-driven systems that watch every account daily and organize every task, so my time goes into decisions, not busywork.

That’s how a team of two gives each client real senior attention every week, and why we choose our clients as carefully as they choose us.

What clients say about working with me

The biggest change for us was Meta. We stopped trying to force every campaign to do everything at once and started testing creative properly. Octavian was very methodical about it, but never overcomplicated things. We finally had a setup where we could see quite quickly what was worth scaling and what wasn’t.

Amelia ClarkeGrowth Manager, By Sarah
By Sarah
Ecommerce · UK

Our main issue wasn’t generating enquiries. It was generating the right enquiries.

Octavian changed the Google Ads structure around specific treatments and search intent, rather than treating every lead the same. The quality improved noticeably, particularly for the higher-value treatments. That mattered much more to us than simply getting a lower cost per lead.

Dr. Hannah CollinsPractice Director, TAHA Dental Excellence
TAHA Dental Excellence
Lead-gen · UK

I’m not a tracking person, so most of this used to feel like a black box to me. Octavian found several issues between Shopify, GA4 and the ad platforms that explained why the numbers never quite matched.

After he rebuilt the tracking, our reporting became much more useful. I could finally look at the numbers and trust them enough to make decisions.

Melissa CarterFounder, Soon Skincare
Soon Skincare
Ecommerce · USA

He’s one of the few people we’ve worked with who actually looked beyond Ads Manager.

The campaigns were important, obviously, but he was just as interested in what happened after the lead came in. That led us to improve conversion tracking, lead qualification and the way we fed data back into the platforms.

That was probably the most valuable part of the work.

Daniel MercerManaging Director, Privée Clinic
Privée Clinic
Lead-gen · Australia

We’d already been spending consistently on Google, but the account had become quite messy over time. Octavian simplified the structure, cut a lot of unnecessary overlap and gave Shopping much more room to work. Within a few weeks, it was much easier for us to understand where the budget was actually going and why.

Sophie BennettE-commerce Manager, Another Country
Another Country
Ecommerce · UK

We discovered that our biggest problem wasn’t advertising. It was measurement.

Some leads were coming through calls, others through forms, and a fair number were being followed up offline. The platforms were only seeing part of the picture.

Octavian connected much more of that journey back into our campaigns. Once we could see which enquiries were actually becoming real opportunities, the way we optimized Google Ads changed completely.

Michael RussoCo-Founder, HKMM Group
HKMM Group
Lead-gen · Canada

Octavian is very strong technically, which became obvious when we started looking deeper into attribution.

We had campaigns that looked weak inside Meta but were clearly assisting sales elsewhere, and other campaigns that looked good on the surface but weren’t bringing much incremental value. Having someone who understands both media buying and measurement made a big difference.

Priya MalhotraDigital Growth Lead, Nerah Skin
Nerah Skin
Ecommerce · India

We had been running Meta Ads for some time, but attribution was always a question mark. A patient might see an Instagram ad, search for us later and then book through the website, so everything looked like Google was responsible for the conversion.

Octavian helped us understand that journey properly and set up the tracking around it. It changed the way we evaluated both channels.

Jessica MooreClinic Manager, Eltham Cosmetic Clinic
Eltham Cosmetic Clinic
Lead-gen · Australia

Our Google Ads account is now far less complicated than it used to be — and performs better because of it.

Octavian focused on the searches that actually lead to appointments, cleaned up a lot of wasted traffic and made the reporting much easier for us to follow. Straightforward, sensible work.

Is this a fit?

Who I work with, and who I don’t

A good fit

  • Ecommerce, lead-gen or B2B companies in English-speaking markets or the EU
  • An ad budget of at least $500 a month
  • A business that already sells, where ads amplify revenue rather than replace it
  • You want one senior person accountable, and you’ll share real numbers: margins, CRM, sales

Probably not a fit

  • Ad budgets under $500 a month
  • Marketing spend that’s out of proportion to revenue, where ads are expected to rescue the business
  • Looking for the cheapest option, or results within a week
  • You’d rather have a large team and a weekly status meeting than one person who does the work

FAQ

Questions people ask before the call

What happens when you’re away or on vacation?

My laptop comes with me everywhere, and I’m in the accounts daily, with rare exceptions. Automated alerts tell me the moment spend, conversions or tracking move out of range, so nothing drifts unnoticed.

Compare that with an agency: when the person on your account is out, someone else “covers”, someone who doesn’t know your account and rarely changes anything.

Is it really you who works on my account?

Yes. Strategy, setup and optimization are done by me. Anca, my wife and partner, handles operations in the background, and our own AI systems handle monitoring and routine tasks. No juniors, no outsourcing.

How many clients do you take on?

A limited number, and we don’t grow it at the cost of quality. We also choose who we work with. If I can’t give your account proper attention, I’ll tell you on the call.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the channels and the scope of work, so the fee is agreed on the call, once I understand what you need. It’s a clear monthly fee, not a percentage of your ad spend. Your ad budget is separate and is paid directly to Google, Meta or OpenAI.

What is ChatGPT Ads, and is it right for me?

ChatGPT now shows ads alongside its answers, in the markets where they’re available. It’s a new channel, which means less competition and more learning. For most businesses I suggest a small, measured test next to Google and Meta, with clear rules for when to scale it or stop.

Do I keep my ad accounts and data?

Always. I work in your accounts with access you grant, and you can remove it at any time. Pixels, tags, audiences and history stay yours.

How soon will I see results?

Tracking fixes and obvious waste usually show up in the first weeks. Structural changes and creative testing need a few weeks of data before they can be judged fairly. I’ll tell you on the call what’s realistic for your account.

Which countries do you work with?

Companies in the UK, US, Ireland, Canada, Australia and across the EU. We work in English and can run campaigns in the languages of your markets.
