Its what drives me and why I care about performance based results. After years of working as the client with agencies, I have experienced the range of them...

And I was over it.I was done relying on others and their lack of strategy, so I dug in.I learned from the best and innovated on ideas that were working and learned from strategies that failed.I went from agencies telling me that impressions, reach and engagements were the only areas they could guarantee performance to getting 3 to 5 times return on ad spend on my own. I knew they were wrong and I was on to something.As someone who has over 12 years on the client side, I know the type of performance that should be expected.
