I don't treat paid media as a tap you turn on and leave running. Every campaign I manage goes through a structured process that starts well before launch and keeps improving after it. The goal isn't just to spend efficiently — it's to know why something is working and how to make it work better.
I select platforms based on where the audience is in the funnel and what they need to do next — not based on defaults. Google Search for high-intent capture. Meta for prospecting and retargeting at scale. LinkedIn for B2B audiences where job title and industry matter more than demographics. Microsoft Ads when I want reach in underserved search audiences. Each platform has a role; I make sure they work together rather than competing for the same conversion.
I won't run a campaign without a measurement plan in place first. I won't report on impressions and clicks if the actual business objective is leads or sales. And I won't call something optimised after one week. Good paid media requires enough data to make decisions, enough patience to read it correctly, and enough discipline to follow the numbers even when gut instinct says otherwise.
Three accounts, three different objectives, three different platform mixes. Each case shows a specific paid media challenge and what it took to solve it — from B2B lead generation on LinkedIn to local SEO-assisted paid capture for a retail client.
Authority-led paid strategy for industrial brand repositioning
RAORSA is an established industrial leader — the market already knows them. The paid media challenge wasn't generating awareness; it was translating that leadership into measurable digital authority and qualified lead volume. Competing on product specs alone wasn't the play: we needed campaigns that positioned the brand above the category, not just within it.
LinkedIn Ads: Awareness and engagement campaigns targeting industrial and plastics sector professionals (men 40–60, Europe), using the brand claim "Doesn't compete. Redefines." as the creative anchor. Objective: authority reinforcement with a professional B2B audience that was already familiar with the brand but hadn't engaged digitally.
Google Ads: High-intent search campaigns focused on catalogue download conversions — capturing prospects actively searching for industrial machinery solutions. Keyword strategy built around category terms and competitor gaps, not just branded queries.
Measurement: GA4 conversion tracking for catalogue downloads and form submissions. Looker Studio dashboard for weekly optimisation review and monthly client reporting (CPA, CTR, ROAS by campaign).
My role: Full channel ownership — audience research, campaign architecture, ad copy, bid management, A/B testing, GA4 setup, and Looker Studio reporting.
Paid capture strategy for a local business with zero prior digital presence
A family business with 50+ years in the local market and no digital presence at all — no website, no tracking, no paid history. The paid challenge was building from absolute zero: no audience data, no conversion benchmarks, no keyword history to draw from. Everything had to be hypothesised, tested, and validated from scratch.
Google Ads (Search): Local search campaigns targeting high-intent queries in Cali: glasses repairs, eye tests, contact lenses. Keyword strategy deliberately avoided category jargon — the same approach applied to the site copy — and focused on how the actual user searches ("fix my glasses" over "optical mechanics"). This alignment between ad copy and landing page language was key to improving Quality Scores and reducing CPC.
Measurement setup: Full GA4 implementation from scratch — events, conversion goals, and UTM governance across all paid sources. Google Search Console connected to monitor organic performance alongside paid, allowing budget allocation decisions to be grounded in full-funnel data rather than paid-only metrics.
My role: Paid strategy, keyword research, ad copy, full GA4 + GTM setup, Looker Studio reporting, and ongoing optimisation.
Conversion tracking implementation to measure paid impact on a redesigned B2B site
Toyo had a newly redesigned website and was investing in paid media — but had no conversion tracking in place. Campaigns were running without knowing which visits turned into catalogue downloads or contact form submissions. Spend decisions were based on traffic data, not outcome data. The challenge was implementing a measurement infrastructure that could finally connect paid investment to business results.
GA4 + GTM implementation: Full conversion goal setup covering the events that matter in a B2B context: catalogue downloads, form submissions, WhatsApp clicks, and time-on-site thresholds for key product pages. GTM used for clean tag deployment without developer dependencies.
Google Ads: Search campaigns restructured around the new site architecture — product category terms, competitor terms, and branded queries with different bidding strategies applied per campaign type. Conversion-linked bidding (target CPA) activated once sufficient data was collected from the measurement phase.
Looker Studio dashboard: Reporting built to show CPA, ROAS, and conversion breakdown by campaign and landing page — giving both the internal team and client a clear view of which paid activity was generating real pipeline, not just clicks.
My role: GA4 + GTM implementation, campaign restructuring, conversion-linked bidding setup, Looker Studio dashboard, and ongoing optimisation.
Before any campaign goes live, the measurement infrastructure needs to be in place. These are the templates and setups I use consistently across accounts — not one-offs, but systems that scale.
My standard client-facing dashboard that centralises the metrics that actually matter in paid: CPA, ROAS, CTR by campaign, cost per lead, and budget pacing. Connects directly to Google Ads, Meta Ads, and GA4. Updated in real time so weekly optimisation reviews are based on live data, not exported spreadsheets.
Every account I manage gets a measurement plan before the first campaign goes live. This includes: event taxonomy, conversion goal definition (micro and macro), UTM structure, and GTM tag architecture. The goal is to make sure every click can be traced back to an outcome — not just a session.
A structured sheet for planning campaign launches: budget by platform, expected CPCs and CPAs, timeline, ad set structure, and key dates. Doubles as a pacing tracker during the month to avoid overspend and flag underperforming allocations early.
Every tool here has a specific role. The highlighted ones are the platforms I manage daily and know in depth — campaign architecture, bidding strategies, audience setup, and all. The rest support measurement, planning, and reporting.
Digital Marketing Specialist with 8+ years running 360° campaigns for clients in Spain, Europe, and LATAM — mainly in agency environments. I work across the full digital mix: strategy, paid media, content, SEO, CRO, reporting, and team coordination. Paid media and analytics are where I'm strongest on the execution side: I manage multi-platform campaigns (Google, Meta, LinkedIn, Microsoft Ads), implement measurement infrastructure (GA4 + GTM) from scratch, and build the reporting layer that connects spend to outcomes. I've also coordinated teams of up to 5 people and managed budgets up to €10k across simultaneous accounts.
I've been managing paid campaigns for over 8 years, and the thing that still gets me is the same as it was at the start: that moment when the data confirms your hypothesis. When you restructure a campaign, change a bid strategy, or rewrite an ad, and the numbers move the way you expected — that's where the work gets interesting. I look for that in every account I touch.
I'm Isabella Marín, a Digital Marketing Specialist with experience running 360° campaigns across Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, and Microsoft Ads for clients in Spain, Europe, and LATAM. I work across the full digital mix — strategy, paid media, analytics, content, and reporting — and I'm particularly strong on the paid and measurement side: campaign architecture, conversion tracking, bid management, and Looker Studio reporting. My agency background means I'm used to handling multiple accounts at once, working to tight deadlines, and translating performance data into language that makes sense to people who aren't in the platform every day.
What I bring beyond the platforms is the measurement layer. Every account I manage gets a proper GA4 and GTM setup before anything goes live — because I won't report on spend without knowing what that spend is actually producing. I use Looker Studio to build dashboards that connect paid data to business outcomes, not just traffic metrics. In my experience, that's where most agencies fall short: running solid campaigns on top of a measurement gap.
I'm also comfortable on the B2B side, which requires a different kind of patience — longer sales cycles, smaller audiences, and objectives that don't convert on the first click. B2B LinkedIn campaigns are a good example: the goal is rarely direct response — it's sustained authority-building with a professional audience that may already know the brand but hasn't engaged digitally. Getting the platform, the format, and the creative brief right for that objective is as much strategy as execution.
I'm direct, I work well without micromanagement, and I'm genuinely interested in the business behind the account — not just the dashboard. I'd like to explore whether there's a fit.
