The pattern is always the same: money going out, unclear what’s coming back.
Here’s how I’ve fixed it across industries.
Case Study 1: Financial Services — Regulated Marketing
Client: Mortgage / Lending
Situation: Needed marketing leadership that could navigate compliance requirements while still driving growth. Previous marketing efforts were heavily reliant on third-party leads.
What I did: Built a marketing strategy that balanced growth targets with regulatory guardrails. Developed campaigns targeting credit-challenged audiences with compliant messaging. Installed data-driven decision-making processes.
Result: Increase first-party leads by over 20% in 3 months.
Case Study 2: Local Services — Lead Acquisition
Client: Tough Turtle Turf (landscaping / turf)
Situation: High cost per lead with inconsistent quality. The existing marketing agency was optimizing for volume, not for leads that actually converted to jobs.
What I did: Analyzed historical conversion data by channel and by lead source. Worked with the existing agency to shift budget toward the channels with the lowest cost-per-closed-job (not cost-per-lead). Improved the appointment booking flow to reduce drop-off.
Result: Lowered cost per lead significantly. Improved appointment booking rate by over 20%. Saved tens of thousands in acquisition costs.
Case Study 3: PE Portfolio — Home Services
Client: PE-backed home services company
Situation: The company was spending aggressively on lead generation but couldn’t connect that spend to booked appointments or closed deals. Marketing reported on impressions and clicks; leadership needed to see cost-per-acquisition and booking rates. There was no weekly operating rhythm and no single owner of the funnel.
What I did: Audited the full funnel from ad spend to closed job. Identified that the biggest leak wasn’t lead volume—it was speed-to-lead and the booking process. Restructured agency KPIs around conversion metrics instead of traffic. Installed a weekly scorecard and standup cadence.
Result: 30% improvement in lead-to-appointment conversion. Marketing spend reallocated to highest-converting channels based on actual close data, not click data.
