Shopify Product Researcher | Meta Ads Media Buyer |Research-First ROAS

Most media buyers launch first and hope the numbers work out. I research first, then buy media. That order matters: it's why my campaigns launch with validated products, mapped audience psychology, and competitor ad angles already stress-tested, instead of guessing and course-correcting on your budget. I'm a Shopify DTC specialist working across two connected skill sets: deep product & competitor research, and Facebook/Meta Ads execution. Most freelancers do one or the other. I do both, so the ads I run are built on products and angles I've already validated, not a hope. Product research, the way performance operators do it: I use Minea, PipiAds, AdSpy, and WinningHunter to find products based on demand curves, supplier margins, saturation signals, and creative potential, not what's trending on TikTok today. I've completed dozens of research contracts for Shopify and D2C ecommerce brands, including full competitor and static-ad research, organic and paid product sourcing, and ongoing research retainers. Media buying, backed by that research: → Cost per purchase as low as £0.03 on campaigns built from pre-validated audiences and angles → 256,832 people reached, 37,304 link clicks through precision Paid Social targeting → Every campaign launches with A/B testing from day one, I've seen what skipping it costs, and it's expensive Beyond research and ads, I also handle full Shopify/ecommerce operations: product listings, supplier coordination (CJdropshipping, AliExpress, 1688), and category management — I've run this end-to-end for stores on Shopify, Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop. 💯 Toolkit: Meta Ads Manager · Facebook Ads Manager · Instagram Ads · TikTok Ads · Shopify · Minea · PipiAds · AdSpy · WinningHunter · Koala Inspector · CJdropshipping · AliExpress · 1688 · Canva · ClickUp · Google Sheets 💯 This is built for you if: → You're a Shopify/DTC brand under $10K/month and know the ceiling is higher → You've run Facebook Ads before but the ROAS never made real sense → You want product research and media buying handled by one person who validates before spending, not two people who don't talk to each other → You need reliable ecommerce operations support alongside marketing Message me with your current monthly ad spend and biggest bottleneck. I'll respond with a specific, actionable answer, and if it's a fit, 3 hand-picked winning products with supplier links and proven ad angles, free, no pitch attached.
