01Who I Am

A performance marketer focused on turning paid media into measurable business growth.

Performance marketer combining paid media expertise with end-to-end brand ownership.

I own brands end to end: market research, audience analysis, campaign strategy, execution, and continuous optimisation.

I work with clients and internal teams to turn business objectives into actionable marketing strategies.

I run structured SOPs for performance analysis, root-cause analysis, and optimisation — so I know what is working, why it changed, and what to fix next.

I test copy, creatives, and messaging with creative teams, and use AI for research, ideation, and faster creative testing.

Experience across MENA and APAC — every market behaves differently, so I build strategy around the market, then test and optimise.

In short: I understand the business, own the performance, and keep improving it.

A leading interior design firm operating in Singapore's exceptionally saturated renovation market, where multiple firms compete for the same high-intent homeowners. A significant share of enquiries did not meet the required budget or renovation timeline, higher enquiry volume was not translating into qualified opportunities, and rising search competition made efficient scale difficult. By restructuring campaigns around high-intent search demand, improving lead qualification, and optimising the conversion journey, qualified leads grew 110.34% and cost per qualified lead fell 44.55%.
