Your Brand Is Ready for a Different Standard

Apply below to see if a fractional partnership with Rob is the right fit for your brand - and take the first step toward profitable, predictable growth.

Imagine a new standard of excellence where your ad spend fuels profit rather than agency overhead.

You move from a frustrated founder to a confident CEO with a predictable, scalable growth engine.

From Frustrated Founder to Confident CEO

Right now, your paid media probably feels like something you manage - not something that drives you forward. You're chasing updates, second-guessing performance, and wondering if anyone on the other end truly owns your results.

A fractional partnership changes that. You get a 15-year veteran integrated directly into your team - one expert, one point of contact, full accountability. Someone who treats your margins like their own and shows up every single day without being asked.

That's what stepping into your Post-Agency Era looks like.

Let's Find Out If This Is the Right Fit

Fill out the form below and Rob will personally follow up within one business day to schedule a brief discovery call. No sales pressure. No account managers. Just a direct conversation to see if a fractional partnership makes sense for your brand.

- Rob personally reviews every application.

15 years in paid search and social for eCommerce brands, an MBA, and a track record of profitably scaling brands.

You will work directly with me. Every strategic lever is pulled by a veteran, not an intern.

  • "Rob is unmatched in his thoroughness, clarity, and depth of skill — his initial audit alone gave me two full pages of actionable insights I still reference."

    Justin B. | Craghoppers

  • "In an industry filled with amateurs and guesswork, Rob is one of the very few people who I trust to both strategize and execute a data-informed and effective paid media plan."

    Adam V. | Heard Media

  • "Most agencies specialize in two things: overpromising and underdelivering. Rob brings the numbers that matter — not just what make him look good - and a plan you can believe in. The best part is - it works."

FAQ

  • Traditional agencies are often built on a model of high-volume account management where senior leaders sell the deal, but junior trainees - who are often still learning the ropes - actually manage your spend. A Fractional Paid Media Partnership is a post-agency evolution. You are not hiring a vendor; you are integrating a senior-level architect directly into your team. Every strategic lever is pulled by a 15-year veteran with an MBA, not an intern.

  • The broken agency model creates a "systems ceiling" where the person managing your ads lacks the deep e-commerce experience to understand your specific margins and business goals. When accounts are set-and-forget or managed by junior staff, inefficiencies go unnoticed. My approach starts with a Senior-Level Audit to identify wasted spend - the invisible drain on your profits that traditional structures aren't incentivized to fix.

  • In a post-agency model, direct access is the standard. You will never be handed off. My "Direct Access Guarantee” ensures that I am your single point of contact and the person actually inside your ad accounts. This eliminates the telephone game that often happens between brand owners and agency trainees, ensuring total strategic clarity.

    • Shopify brands with $1M+ in annual revenue

    • Running paid media on Meta, Google, or both

    • Spending enough on ads that performance directly impacts profitability

    • Ready for a senior-level partner - not another vendor to manage

  • In short: no. But let me know what your current plan looks like, and we’ll calculate something that makes sense for your shop and your goals.

  • As a company of one, I have limited capacity. I’m not growing an agency – I'm just super-serving a select roster of businesses. As such, I carve out capacity for those with whom I have a signed agreement, first-come, first-served.

  • I operate through a traditional retainer model, with fees determined by the size and complexity of the work. When we work together, we agree on a scope of work for each month at a predictable rate. No surprise invoices or unpredictable costs! Plus, as an independent consultant, my overhead is virtually nonexistent, which means reasonable rates for you.

  • Paid media engagements last 12 months. For first-time customers, I offer a 6-month engagement to assess the partnership. Customers can end a partnership at any time by paying a small fee.

  • There isn't a channel I feel uncomfortable managing. Most of my clients have a paid ad foundation with Meta and Google, and are actively expanding to other channels including AdRoll, TikTok, Reddit, Snap, Hulu TV, and Pinterest.

  • I communicate timely and clearly, with a preference for asynchronous communication. In addition to our regular reporting calls, we communicate consistently through email and often share a Slack channel, too. While I won’t be in your office, it should feel like I’m just down the hall.

  • I’m hands-on with the accounts I manage every single day. You can also expect frequent communication in Slack or via email, as well as monthly dedicated reporting calls (bi-weekly where needed, like in busy seasons, transitions, etc).

  • I’ve got you covered. We can pair my Performance Creative Director offering with my deep network of creative pros who know how to deliver best-in-class assets.

  • If you feel like your brand has hit a ceiling and you’re tired of being just another number in a disconnected portfolio, you are ready to graduate to a more sophisticated model of paid media management.
