Psychology-driven Facebook Ads for B2C companies that actually convert
5 yrs experience · Toronto, ON · <10 hrs/week
About
I use psychology and the art of persuasion to make scroll-stopping Facebook Ads that convert. I have a simple 3-step process: 1. Research: In-depth customer and competitor research 2. Evaluate: Rapidly test creative and messaging 3. Scale: Iterative improvements in order to scale But the secret sauce? I infuse ad creative and copy with proven psychology tactics. A little bit about myself: I completed a Master's at NYU where I wrote my 60-page thesis paper on marketing psychology and I've generated well over $2,000,000 in attributable revenue for my clients. My expertise lies in psychology-driven growth marketing, paid ads, and digital storytelling. I hope I get the opportunity to work with you!
