When you hit the $100K/month revenue ceiling, you experience the following issues:

Creative fatigue - Running the same 2-3 ad concepts until they die
Low converting funnels - Generic competitor-copied pages that bleed money
No clear growth goal - Just throwing money at problems

You've spent all of your energy, sweat, and tears growing your business, and now everything feels stale...

I've seen this pattern so many times, and founders frequently ask me,

"Shouldn't it be easier to scale rather than harder?"

The problem is simple: you built your business on tactics that worked months ago. But tactics expire... systems don't.

You need proven systems to cut through the noise with repeatable frameworks that will move you to the next level.

Why founders choose me over agencies

Systems you own, NOT black boxes

When agencies leave, their knowledge goes with them. I build growth systems you understand and can scale without me. You'll know exactly why something works and how to replicate it.

Agencies just run your ads. I build your entire growth system.

From creative testing to funnel optimization to strategic roadmapping.

Performance-driven, not vanity-driven

Most agencies show you pretty dashboards with vanity metrics. I focus on the numbers that actually matter: scale, CAC, and profitability. I'll help you cut through the data noise and identify exactly which levers to pull for maximum ROI.

AI-enabled for faster results

While agencies take weeks to analyze and iterate, I use AI to compress testing cycles and identify winning tests faster. This means you get profitable sooner and stay ahead of the curve.

"We've been working with Kris for nearly two years, and he's been nothing short of incredible. As our media buying manager, he's helped scale accounts from low five figures into the mid range, always with a collaborative and highly strategic approach. His knowledge of media buying is unmatched, his communication is clear, and he thrives even in challenging scenarios by diving deep into analysis and problem-solving. Honestly, part of me wants to gatekeep him, but he's a fantastic partner, and I'd recommend him 10/10 to anyone serious about growth."

"I hired Kris to run our first ever pilot of Tik Tok for Nuts.com after working with him in a previous role. Kris is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and trustworthy. He was able to hustle and get the campaigns set up quickly for us to meet a deadline for running our incrementality test through our testing partner, LiftLab. Kris was able to seamlessly integrate with our geo-lift testing framework and set up the campaign within the strict parameters to successfully run the geo-lift test with geo hold outs and spend pacing. I would not hesitate to recommend Kris to anyone looking for media buying services on Meta, Google and Tik Tok. I am looking forward to continued partnership with Kris."

"We worked with Kris on our Facebook ads. What I liked about his work was to care about all the performance details and manage ads daily. I have been working with many agencies, but most of the time, they only analyze the performance and make weekly changes, saying it is the best practice. While I agree with the argument for some cases, I generally expect to make changes more frequently when we need to. Kris was flexible and professional enough to work with the expectations. Highly recommended!"
