Courtney D.
Google & Meta Ads Expert | Ex-Pinterest & Microsoft | 18+ Yrs
I have 18+ years of digital advertising experience, including six years at Pinterest, 6 years at Yahoo, and 3 years at Microsoft, plus agency-side experience at McClatchy managing digital advertising for local and national businesses. Today, I help businesses get better results from paid media, with deep expertise across Google, Meta, and Pinterest. I turn advertising dollars into qualified leads and real business growth, without wasting money or wondering what is working. What I do best: • Google & Microsoft Ads: Build, restructure, audit, and manage paid search campaigns focused on qualified leads, not clicks. • Meta Ads: Lead generation and awareness campaigns across Facebook and Instagram. • Pinterest Ads & Strategy: Paid & organic campaign strategy, account audits, measurement, conversion tracking, and platform consulting. As a former Pinterest employee, working across CPG, retail, and ecommerce, I bring six years of firsthand platform experience along with a deep understanding of how advertisers use Pinterest effectively. • Conversion Tracking & Measurement: GA4, Google Tag Manager, call tracking, form tracking, custom landing pages, and conversion optimization. • Ad Account Audits: Identify what is working, where budget is being wasted, and what I would change to improve performance. I also believe businesses, not an agency, should own their advertising assets. You own your ad accounts, your tracking, and your data. For lead generation, I work especially well with home services, professional services, and healthcare practices looking for a long-term partner who will actually learn their business. Nearly all of my current clients have come through referrals and personal relationships, and I prioritize long-term client relationships over taking on a high volume of accounts. I also take on Pinterest-specific advertising and consulting projects for brands, agencies, investors, and organizations looking for experienced platform expertise. If you're spending money on advertising and aren't completely sure what you're getting from it, or you're looking for someone with deep Pinterest experience, I'd love to help.
