10 years in.
Doing less, better.

I'm Angelo — a paid media specialist with over 10 years of experience. 6 of which spent in fast paced agencies, before deciding that doing less, better, was more interesting than doing more, faster.

My Story

How I got
here

I've been in paid media for over 10 years. The last six were inside agencies — handling a range of clients across health, legal, home services, and local businesses. I learned a lot in that environment. I also learned its limits.

Agency life runs on volume. The more accounts you manage, the more revenue the agency generates. That structure works for the business — but it doesn't always work for the client. I watched good campaigns go stale because nobody had time to test. I watched leads dry up because a platform changed and the account didn't adapt fast enough.

Going independent wasn't a sudden decision. It was a slow realization that the model I wanted to work in — small, focused, genuinely accountable — didn't exist inside a growth-oriented agency. So I built it myself.

Today I work with a hard cap of 10 clients across industries I know well. Every account gets my full attention. Every month I report back honestly on what's working and what isn't.

Experience

Where I've
worked

Paid Media Specialist

7FigureDocs

My most recent agency role before going independent. Worked with medical and healthcare clients — handling creative strategy, aligning with account managers to keep campaigns in line with what each client actually needed, and joining calls to resolve issues that could delay a launch or disrupt an active campaign.

This is also where I leaned hard into AI for creative production. Being able to generate and iterate on ad creatives at scale changed how I think about testing — when creative is no longer the bottleneck, there's no excuse not to keep improving. That approach is now central to how I work.

Digital Hustle

Health and wellness clients in a pay-per-result environment. No results, no revenue — for anyone. That pressure clarified a lot of things fast: what offers actually convert, how to think about creative, and how quickly to cut what isn't working.

I also started integrating AI into my creative workflow here. Being able to produce variations quickly meant I could test more angles without inflating costs — and it raised the bar for what "enough testing" actually looks like.

Roofer Marketers

Lead generation for home improvement contractors across the U.S. — roofing, remodeling, renovation, HVAC. Multiple accounts, multiple local markets, each with its own competitive dynamics and buyer behavior. The work required systems that could move fast without losing quality.

High-ticket local services is where I found my footing. A single closed job can be worth $10,000 to $50,000 to the client. The stakes make you think differently about what a qualified lead actually means.

Ad Support Specialist

Facebook via TDCX

Part of Meta's global marketing solutions program, supporting SMBs across APAC. Most media buyers work on top of the platform. This role put me inside it — advising on campaign structure, creative direction, and how to get the most out of Meta's tools.

Understanding how the platform actually evaluates and distributes ads — not just how to set one up — is something I carry into every account I manage today.

How I Work

The way I think
about this work

Paid media done well is simple: you find out what resonates with your audience, you scale it, and you cut what doesn't — fast. The hard part isn't the strategy. It's having the discipline to actually test consistently, stay patient in the early weeks, and be honest when something isn't working.

I check in on accounts twice a week — enough to catch problems early and spot opportunities before they pass, without over-optimizing what's already working. Daily reviews tend to do more harm than good. Monthly reviews let things drift. Twice a week is the right cadence.

I work with a small number of clients on purpose. Not as a marketing angle but as an actual operating principle. My ceiling of 10 clients is the same whether I have 2 or 7. It's what allows me to do the work the way I think it should be done.

"I'm not trying to build an empire. I'm trying to do good work for a small number of businesses that actually benefit from having someone who pays attention. That's the whole model."

On two wheels when I can

Bike touring is how I clear my head. Long rides make complex problems feel simpler — which might be why I tend to keep my work simple too.

Based in the Philippines

Working remotely with U.S. clients. The time difference is manageable — I structure my week around their business hours.

Husband and dog dad

Married, with dogs who have strong opinions about when the workday should end. They're usually right.

Genuinely curious

I read a lot about marketing and psychology. It feeds directly into how I think about ad creative and what makes someone stop scrolling.
