  • Run A/B tests on ads and landing pages to squeeze out more conversions.
  • Manage paid ad budgets across Google, LinkedIn, and other platforms.
Decisions you’ll make
  • Is this channel actually driving pipeline, or just burning my budget?
  • Should I push more leads to sales now, or keep nurturing them longer?
  • Is this campaign underperforming because of the message, the audience, or the offer?
  • Do I double down on what's working, or test something new this quarter?
  • Is sales struggling to close because of lead quality, or is that a them problem?
