Senior Native Advertising Media Buyer - Taboola and Outbrain

**Taboola Agency Partner | Customer Acquisition Specialist** **$9.8M+ Managed Spend | Scaling DTC Brands on Native & Google** I build profitable customer acquisition systems for direct-to-consumer brands using native advertising and Google Ads—turning cold traffic into scalable revenue engines. **Core Expertise** With 6+ years as a dedicated native advertising strategist, I've developed proprietary frameworks for scaling campaigns profitably across Taboola, Outbrain, Revcontent, and MGID. My approach combines advanced bid optimization, creative iteration systems, and conversion architecture—not just running ads, but engineering entire acquisition funnels from click to customer. I maintain direct executive relationships with Taboola and Outbrain teams, providing clients with insider-level support, priority escalations, and early access to platform features unavailable to standard advertisers. **What Sets Me Apart** **Platform Mastery** – Former Outbrain Customer Success Manager who grew a client portfolio to $3.5M+ monthly spend. I understand native advertising from both the agency and platform perspective, giving me unique insight into algorithm mechanics, approval processes, and scaling strategies. **Full-Stack Optimization** – I don't just optimize campaigns. I architect complete conversion systems: audience segmentation, creative hypothesis testing, advertorial psychology, landing page conversion rate optimization, and multi-touch attribution modeling. Every element is engineered for maximum ROAS. **Creative & Copy Systems** – I've built scalable frameworks for generating high-performing advertorials, landing page copy, and creative angles. Rather than random testing, I use data-driven creative matrices that systematically identify winning concepts and scale them across verticals. **Proven Scale** – $9.8M in native spend + $4.5M in Google Ads managed across supplements, beauty, e-commerce, finance, and high-ticket offers. I've scaled brands from $15K/month to multiple 6-figures using native traffic—including my own DTC supplement brand. **Strategic Services** • **Campaign Architecture & Scaling** – Building acquisition systems designed for 7-8 figure scale • **Advanced Optimization** – Bid algorithms, creative testing matrices, audience segmentation • **Advertorial & Landing Page Copy** – High-conversion pre-sell content and page optimization • **Platform Relationship Management** – Direct escalation channels with Taboola/Outbrain executives **Select Client Verticals** Supplements • Beauty • E-commerce • Finance • Mobility • High-Ticket Products I work exclusively with brands ready to invest in profitable, scalable growth on native advertising platforms. If you're spending $10K+ monthly and need expert-level strategy to break through plateaus or scale profitably, I can help. **Ready to scale?** Book a free 15-minute strategy call to discuss your acquisition goals and how I'd approach scaling your campaigns profitably.
