Performance Marketer — Creative + Media Buying

I build the ads, and I buy the media.

Co-founder of two DTC brands — House of Sundar and Norré Labs — where I own the whole loop: angle development, scripting and editing in 9:16, then the Meta campaigns, catalog feeds and tracking behind them. Including the restricted categories most buyers will not touch.

I co-founded both of these

Not client work. I have equity in the outcome, which is why the creative and the buying are not separate jobs to me.

Shark Tank VSL, end to end

The piece I am proudest of: I wrote and cut the ad, and built the page it lands on. One argument, carried the whole way to checkout.

03 — Approach

Creative and buying, one loop

The reason the work below is organised by angle rather than by date: each angle is a hypothesis, and the edit is how it gets tested.

Creative

Angles, scripts, edits

I write the angle and cut it myself, so the hook, the pacing and the proof all serve the same argument.

  • Hook variants per concept
  • Retention pacing & b-roll direction
  • Burned-in subtitles, native styling
  • Long-form VSL and 30–60s cutdowns
Buying

Meta campaigns

Creative only counts once it is in the auction. I structure, launch and read the tests behind these ads.

  • Campaign structure & budget splits
  • Catalog / product-feed video ads
  • Weekly creative refresh cadence
  • Hook-level testing and iteration
Systems

The plumbing around it

Most of the leverage is in what happens between the edit and the sale, so I build that too.

  • Bulk creative upload to Meta
  • Product-catalog video feeds
  • Click tracking & short links
  • Shopify landing pages & quiz funnels
Service

High-risk ads launching

Men's sexual health and supplements sit inside Meta's restricted categories, where ordinary buying practice gets accounts flagged and creative rejected. I launch there anyway — building the account and campaign structure that survives it, writing angles that carry the claim without tripping policy, and pushing creative in volume so testing never stalls on a single rejection.

  • Restricted-category account & campaign structure
  • Policy-aware scripting and claim handling
  • Bulk creative upload — dozens of variants per launch
  • Compliant landing pages and funnel routing

Sexual-health advertising

Kept in a separate section on purpose, so nobody opens this page and gets ambushed by it.

Contains adult themes

Norré Labs and Vigor Prime are men's sexual-health supplements. The eight ads below use explicit angles — adult-performer testimonial formats and erectile-dysfunction messaging — because that is what the category and the audience respond to. They are advertising work, shown here for the craft and the testing discipline. Hidden by default.
