Performance Marketing & Paid Media

Performance isn't about being on every platform. It's about being on the right ones, with the right creative, in front of the right audience, at the right time, and measuring all of it accurately. Campaigns that bring in cheap leads that never convert aren't performance. They're vanity dressed up as performance.

What Performance Marketing Really Means

Performance marketing ties media spend to measurable outcomes: leads, sales, app installs, sign-ups. Unlike brand marketing, every dollar you put in has a trackable return and a clear goal behind it.

But real performance marketing isn't "set it and forget it." The work starts before launch: properly configured conversion events, the right bidding strategy for where the business is today, and targeting that finds your most valuable audience, not just your biggest one.

And it continues after launch, with attribution analysis that shows which channels actually drive conversions, not just which ones get last-click credit. With 13+ years running performance campaigns and more than R$30 million in media spend managed, the focus is always on business results, not vanity metrics.

Platforms and Channels

Google Ads

Search, Display, Performance Max, YouTube, and Demand Gen. Each format plays its own role in the funnel, and the right mix depends on your sales cycle, average order value, and how much demand already exists in your market.

  • Campaign and ad group structure
  • Keyword and negative keyword strategy
  • Smart Bidding fed by quality signals
  • Performance Max with product feeds
  • Ad assets and extensions
  • GA4 conversion imports

Meta Ads

Facebook and Instagram, with both Advantage+ and manual campaigns. The platform has changed dramatically since Apple's App Tracking Transparency update, and advertisers still running it like it's 2019 are burning budget. Today, success comes down to signal quality and creative.

  • Conversion and lead generation campaigns
  • Advantage+ Shopping and Audience
  • Meta Pixel and Conversions API (CAPI)
  • Creative testing at scale
  • Retargeting and lookalike audiences
  • Lead Ads with CRM integration

TikTok Ads

A fast-growing acquisition channel, especially for e-commerce and mobile apps. The native video format calls for a different creative approach: content that looks like a creator made it outperforms anything that looks like a traditional ad.

  • In-Feed Ads and TopView
  • Spark Ads with organic content
  • TikTok Pixel and Events API
  • App install campaigns
  • Interest and behavior targeting

App Marketing

User acquisition campaigns for mobile apps through Google App Campaigns, Meta App Campaigns, and mobile performance networks, backed by experience managing multi-million-dollar app budgets across different industries.

  • Google App Campaigns (UAC)
  • Meta App Install Campaigns
  • SDK and MMP setup
  • In-app event optimization
  • Retention and LTV analysis

How I Work

01

Diagnosis and Audit

Before touching anything, a full account audit: campaign structure, conversion setup, tracking quality, performance history, and missed opportunities. Without the right diagnosis, any change is just a shot in the dark.

02

Setup and Tracking

Proper conversion event setup through GTM and GA4, imports into each ad platform, firing validation, and making sure Smart Bidding gets the right signals. Bad tracking undermines every optimization that comes after it.

03

Structure and Targeting

A campaign architecture that mirrors the conversion funnel: demand captured on Search, qualified audiences on Meta, structured retargeting, and budget allocated where returns are highest. Targeting built on real customer data, not assumptions.

04

Testing and Continuous Optimization

Short test cycles across creative, copy, landing pages, targeting, and bidding strategies. Every test has a clear hypothesis, a defined success metric, and enough volume to make a call. Winners get scaled. Losers get cut.

05

Reporting and Insights

Power BI dashboards that consolidate data from every platform: a full-funnel view, CAC by channel, true ROAS, and forecasts. Reports that tell a story instead of just listing metrics.

Industry Experience

Performance looks different in every industry. In real estate, the sales cycle is long and leads need nurturing, so campaigns optimize toward qualified leads, not raw form fills. In e-commerce, ROAS should be measured against net revenue, not gross sales, and a well-structured product feed makes all the difference, whether you're on Shopify or a custom stack. In fintech, regulators like the CFPB and FTC put real limits on ad creative, and CPA has to hold up over the long run. In mobile apps, Day 7 and Day 30 retention decide whether your CAC actually works.

That experience spans automotive, including two of America's most iconic brands, Ford and Chevrolet, along with fintech (Santander, Willbank, DMCard), e-commerce (Marabraz, Janome), real estate, and mobile apps. Adapting the strategy to the business model isn't a detail. It's the core of the work.
