Expert in PPC with over 10 years of experience managing and creating campaigns.
I've been managing Google AdWords and Bing ad campaigns since 2005. I'm currently in charge of $300,000 in monthly ad spend across multiple (10+ accounts). I have expertise in lead gen and ecommerce. I don't use tools like Optmyzr, as I feel they're very limiting and geared mostly for novice ad managers. I also don't outsource my work. All work is done by me, and I use AdWords Editor (and Bing Ads Editor or Gemini, if applicable).
My clients are all extremely happy with the level of service and results they have seen. I've been able to cut costs in half and double conversions for some clients--though obviously I can't guarantee that everyone will get the same results!
I'm also Google AdWords certified (current Sept 2016), but to be honest, it doesn't really mean anything anymore. The AdWords certification test is administered in a lot of university marketing programs, but successful test takers still don't know how to effectively manage campaigns. That comes with experience.
