Here’s a simple example of what happens when a campaign is properly structured and monitored:
✅ 189 results
✅ 7,376 people reached
✅ $100 spent
✅ $0.53 cost per result
The biggest lesson here is this: don’t judge an ad campaign just by how much you spend. Look at what that money is producing.
Before increasing your budget, ask:
👉 Is the right audience seeing my ad?
👉 Is the creative strong enough to stop people scrolling?
👉 Is the offer clear?
👉 Am I tracking the right result?
👉 What can I improve before putting more money into the campaign?
A small budget with the right strategy can teach you a lot before you scale.
If you're running Facebook/Meta Ads and you're getting clicks, views, or traffic but not the results you want, send me a DM.
I can help you look at what may be holding the campaign back and what you should improve next.
Stop guessing. Start optimizing.

You spend 6 figures on a brand tracking agency. They spend three months "running the wave." You get a 100-page slide deck that tells you what happened in Q2 while you’re already halfway through Q3.
That’s a post-mortem, not a strategy.
We built the identity and product framing for Timelaps to represent the opposite: continuous visibility.
Research-grade data from 4,000+ consumers, flowing in real-time. No "waves", no dusty decks, just an always on dashboard that shows you if your marketing is actually landing before the budget is gone.
If you’re still waiting 90 days to see if your brand is growing, you’re flying blind.
I have to say, You leave an ipression everytime you appear in my feed. You have got great taste Daniel💪
Two years ago, I was charging less than a grand for a website. This year, I’ve shipped identity systems for companies at their most critical funding rounds.
Same hands. Same tools.
The only thing that changed is I stopped punishing myself for being fast. When you bill hourly, you’re literally charging less as you get better.
I stopped selling "time" and started pricing for what a successful launch or a successful rebrand is worth to the company. Positioning isn't just what you say to clients. It’s what you charge them.
Charging hourly only makes sense in two cases:
1. When you're starting out (can't properly scope a project)
2. For revisions
St. Agni — Performance Ad Concept
A speculative ad creative suite I built for St. Agni as a portfolio piece, exploring how the brand's "intellectual chic" philosophy translates into paid social without collapsing into the loud, trend-driven visual language of fast fashion.
The bundle leans on architectural minimalism: warm neutral textures — raw linen, polished concrete — generous negative space, restrained typography. The garment carries the frame; nothing competes with it.
The motion asset uses hyper-realistic AI fashion avatars to present the capsule in natural movement — a workflow that lets the concept explore silhouette and fabric behaviour without a physical shoot. Static assets focus on tailored lines and fluid drape in still frames.
Two vertical static ads and one motion asset, sized for Stories and vertical feed.
