Digital Advertising

Paid Media That Answers to Profit, Not Platform Metrics

Ad platforms grade their own homework. Meta and Google will always report a ROAS that justifies more spend, while blended CAC quietly climbs and real margin shrinks. Most brands do not have an ads problem. They have a measurement and structure problem.

I bring 18+ years across programmatic, search, and social advertising to structure paid media around your actual unit economics: what a customer is truly worth, what you can truly pay, and which spend actually causes revenue rather than claiming credit for it.

What's Included

What Digital Advertising Includes

Strategy and structure first. Spend scales only after the measurement is honest.

Paid Media Audit

Account structure, audience overlap, creative fatigue, and the gap between reported and real performance. Most audits find 20 to 30 percent wasted spend.

Measurement Architecture

Blended CAC targets, holdout tests, and GA4 attribution set up so you know what your ads actually cause, not what platforms claim.

Google Ads and Shopping

Search, Shopping, and Performance Max structured around margin tiers and search intent, with negative keyword discipline that stops the bleed.

Meta Ads Strategy

Creative-led account structure for the post-tracking era: broad targeting, systematic creative testing, and landing page alignment.

Full-Funnel Integration

Paid working with SEO, content, and email instead of against them: suppression lists, sequential messaging, and channel roles by funnel stage.

Creative Testing Framework

A repeatable system for concepts, hooks, and formats so winning ads are produced by process rather than luck.

Common Questions

Digital Advertising Questions

Do you manage ad accounts hands-on?

For strategy, structure, and measurement, yes, directly. For daily optimisation at scale I typically direct your in-house buyer or agency, which keeps senior judgment on the account without senior cost on routine tasks.

Our ROAS looks fine. What would you even fix?

Platform ROAS almost always overstates reality through view-through credit and retargeting people who would have purchased anyway. A simple holdout test usually reveals a meaningful gap. Deciding budgets on real incrementality instead of reported ROAS is regularly worth 20 to 30 percent of spend.

Minimum budget to work together?

Meaningful structural work makes sense from about Rs. 3 to 5 Lakh monthly ad spend. Below that, your money is usually better spent on conversion and organic foundations first, and I will tell you so.
