- Why Work With Me

I work with a small number of clients at a time, on purpose. Here’s how to know if that’s you.

We're a good fit if you...

Already run paid ads and want to scale.
Want a senior strategist, not a junior on your account.
Care about tracking accuracy as much as creative.
Think in quarters and years, not just this month.
Want direct access to the person doing the work.

We're not a fit if you...

Are shopping for the lowest price.
Need someone to run your socials, design, or inbox too.
Expect a large team on call around the clock.
Are not ready to invest in proper tracking.
Want guaranteed overnight results.

If the first list sounds like you, let’s talk. If the second one does too, no hard feelings, just not a fit.

FAQs

I work with US-based agencies and brands on a Corp-to-Corp basis, bringing senior-level paid media expertise directly to your team. Here are answers to the questions I get asked most often.

Are you available for Corp to Corp (C2C) contracts?

Yes. Stargaze Marketing is a registered company, which means I can work with US based agencies and brands on a formal Corp to Corp basis. This keeps your billing simple, removes employment complexity on your end, and gives you direct access to senior level expertise on a flexible contract, not a full time hire.

Where are you based, and can you work US business hours?

I’m based in South Africa, which overlaps naturally with US Eastern and Central mornings. I’ve worked with international clients for years and structure my calls, reporting, and turnaround times around your team’s schedule, not mine. Time zones have never been a barrier for any client I’ve worked with so far.

What platforms and ad types do you specialize in?

Paid media, across every platform that matters. That means Google Ads (Search, Shopping, Performance Max, Display, YouTube), Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram), LinkedIn, Microsoft Ads, and OpenAI Ads. My experience spans high end B2B lead generation and complex B2C ecommerce, including product feed optimization, full funnel strategy, and audience targeting. Whatever platform your audience is actually on, that’s where I focus.

How do you ensure accurate tracking and attribution?

I act as the technical lead on tracking for every account I manage. That includes GA4, Google Tag Manager, server side tracking, Meta’s Conversions API, and offline conversion imports where relevant. I pair all of it with a custom dashboard giving you live visibility into ROAS, lead quality, and attribution, so you’re never guessing where your budget is actually working.

How quickly can you get started, and what does onboarding look like?

After an initial call to align on your goals, KPIs, and audience, I can typically start account audits and onboarding within a few business days. I come in with a clear audit framework and ask the right questions upfront, so there’s no long ramp up period before real work begins.

What does your reporting and communication process look like?

Every client gets a custom dashboard with live access to performance data, no waiting on a monthly PDF. Alongside that, I send regular written summaries that translate the data into clear takeaways, and I’m available for reporting calls monthly or more often if you’d like. You’ll always know exactly where your budget is going and what the next move is.

What is the minimum ad spend you work with?

I work best with brands spending at least $2,000/month in the US market, or R15,000/month in South Africa. Below that, there usually isn’t enough budget for the kind of testing and optimization that actually moves the needle, and you’d likely be better served by a smaller scale setup than what I offer.

Is there a minimum contract length?

I typically work on a month to month basis after an initial onboarding period, usually the first 60 to 90 days, since that’s how long it takes to properly test and optimize a new account. There’s no long term lock in beyond that. I’d rather earn the right to keep working with you every month than hold you to a contract.

Do I need to provide ad creative, or do you handle that too?

I handle strategy, setup, optimization, and reporting. For ad creative, you’ll need to supply assets, brand guidelines, or a designer I can brief, though I’m very comfortable directing creative direction and giving feedback based on what the data tells us is working.

Do you still work with clients outside the US?

Yes. While I’m expanding into the US market, I continue to work with brands across South Africa and internationally. What matters most is the fit, not the location.
