Independent media buyer · Tenerife

From the beach
to the summit.

I'm Lee. 15+ years and over $60 million in ad spend later, I know exactly where the money goes, and how to make it come back. Google, Meta, Microsoft, native, TikTok: I make them pay you back. Not in clicks. In customers.

I run paid ads that make money, not just clicks. Google, Meta, Microsoft, native & TikTok. 15+ years, $60M+ in ad spend.

Meet your media buyer

Hi, I'm Lee. Nice to meet you.

Brit. Moved to Tenerife in 1997 and never looked back. (Would you?) Spent ten years in-house at a marketing agency, climbing from “the SEM guy” to Chief Marketing Officer, running a team of media buyers and budgets that would make your accountant sweat. Went independent in 2020.

Now I run every campaign myself. No juniors learning on your dime. No account manager whose main skill is booking calls. Just me, your numbers, and a slightly unhealthy obsession with cost per acquisition.

  • Santa Cruz de Tenerife
  • English & Spanish
  • Independent since 2020

Clicks are cute. Customers pay the bills. I build every campaign around the leads and sales your business actually needs, and I'll tell you straight when something isn't working. No waffle. No 40-page PDFs.

$60M+ad spend managed. Other people's money, treated like mine.

How I work

How a campaign climbs.

Base · Understand

The boring-but-crucial bit

Your offer, your customers, your margins. I need to know what a lead is actually worth before I spend a cent of yours.

Ascent · Launch

Then we go

Right channels, sharp ads, and tracking that actually works. (You'd be amazed how often it doesn't.)

Summit · Grow

Pour fuel on the winners

Keep what makes money. Kill what doesn't. Scale what works. You get short, plain-English updates, not a report nobody reads.

Why work with me

You get me. Not an account manager.

  • I run every campaign myself. No juniors. No hand-offs. No “let me check with the team”.
  • Your ad accounts stay in your name. You own them. I just make them work harder.
  • Reporting you'll actually read: what we spent, what it made, what's next.
  • I do the whole thing: angles, ad copy, landing pages, tracking. The bits most buyers hand off are where the money's hiding.
  • I'm in it for the long haul. My clients stick around for years, not months. (Must be the island charm.)
  • Mostly US clients, plus the UK and Spain. English or Spanish, your call.

Marketers exaggerate. Spreadsheets don't.
