Services

Everything between strategy and scale.

One partner across paid media, tracking, automation and AI, instead of stitching together five different specialists.

Google Ads

Search, Performance Max and Shopping. Media buying and account structure that compounds.

Social Ads

Meta, LinkedIn and TikTok media buying, creative testing frameworks included.

Advanced Tracking

GTM, server-side tagging, consent mode and conversion measurement you can actually trust, including Billy Grace attribution and AI-powered reporting.

Marketing Automation

Lifecycle flows, lead nurturing and CRM integrations that turn clicks into customers.

Digital Strategy

Channel mix, unit economics and measurement plans before a single euro is spent.

AI-Powered Workflows

AI agents and tooling for analysis, reporting and optimization at 10x speed.

How I Work

Measure first. Then scale.

01

Measure first

No media euro spent before tracking is reliable. Clean data is the foundation of every decision.

02

Buy smart

Data-driven media buying across Google and social: structured for learning, built for scale.

03

Automate & scale

Automation and AI keep results compounding without adding hours.

Advanced Tracking

See exactly where your data flows.

Server-side tracking that survives ad blockers, iOS and consent mode, so the algorithms learn from real conversions.

Data flow from your website through Web GTM and server-side GTM to Meta, Google and GA4, with CRM data and audiences syncing directly to the ad platformsYour websitebrowser eventsWeb GTMclient containerServer-side GTMfirst-party endpointconsent-awareMeta CAPIconversions APIGoogle Adsenhanced conversionsGA4analyticsCRMcustomer dataad-blocker proofPII hashed server-sideevent ID deduplicationaudiences & offline conversions · Customer Match & custom audiences

Attribution & AI Reporting

Know what every euro contributes. Then make the data work outside the dashboard.

Billy Grace, run end-to-end

Billy Grace is already running at a lot of companies, but the data doesn't live in the organization yet. I close that gap. And if you're starting from scratch, I run the full cycle: from first implementation to profit steering.

Independent implementation specialist. Billy Grace is named here as the platform I work in, not as a formal partnership.

01

Implementation

Tracking pixel, conversion tracking, CRM and backend sync, plus custom imports for what the platform can't see on its own: ATL (radio, TV, OOH) and profit data.

02

Configuration & adoption

Metrics set up the way your team actually works: custom KPIs, dashboards built around real decisions, and hands-on training so attribution becomes a habit, not a login nobody uses.

03

Make the data live

Automated reporting, alerts, and MCP connections that plug attribution data into AI agents, so the model keeps working outside the dashboard too.

Curious what this looks like for your stack?

A 30-minute intro call is enough to map your setup and spot the quick wins.

One AI cockpit for the whole stack

Billy Grace, GA4, CRM and spend data, sold and built into a single custom AI cockpit. AI agents watch the numbers, flag anomalies, and turn them into recommendations. Stakeholder reporting for management runs on autopilot.

Testimonials

What clients say.

We had three tools all reporting different numbers and honestly nobody trusted any of them. Mark rebuilt our tracking, GTM and server-side, and now GA4, our CRM and the ad platforms finally tell the same story.

Sanne V.

I was skeptical about the AI cockpit at first, it sounded like a gimmick. Then it flagged a broken conversion tag on a Friday afternoon before it burned through real budget. That one alert paid for the whole setup.

Jeroen K.

The Monday reporting used to take me half a day. Now it lands in Slack before I've had coffee, with notes on what changed and why. I actually read it, which says enough.
