Ads - Love at 2nd Sight
Ads - Love at 2nd Sight
Here (not) by accident
Kinda. I definitely wasn’t the person whose dream since childhood was to become people’s main source for ads questions and help. In fact, a job like that just started slowly emerging when I was entering university. Besides, during that time, I studied business… because that’s what you study when you don’t know what you want to be. Through a whole range of different events, I ended up working at Google right after my Master’s degree. Being part of the account strategist team, I helped companies troubleshoot and grow with Google Ads and Analytics. Without knowing it back then, I was building up an immense amount of expertise in a very short time.

Take a chance
After leaving Google (and cold rainy Ireland), I decided that now or never was the time to do something different:
While I was half-motivated applying for jobs, I slowly started taking on the first clients for Google Ads projects. I soon started noticing a trend – there really weren’t a lot of people out there who had groomed their ads and data analysis skills the way I had the chance to while working at Google.
Pretty soon, my company and boutique ads agency ‘Ajala Digital’, a Google Partner, was born. Overall, the baby needed a name (more on that another time)!
Without any funding until today and 100% bootstrapped, I’ve now been running the company completely location-independently since 7+ years. From day 1, the focus was set to quality rather than quantity. This is why me and my team only work with a few selected clients at any point in time. So they can get the ads performance and service that they deserve.

What Google Ads & happiness have in common
75% of marketing managers are overworked. Why? Overwhelm and too much work on the wrong aspects. Looking into ad accounts daily is just one of those time-consuming mistakes. Only if business leaders and managers feel balanced and are living a life that they are content with, they create a lasting legacy for themselves, their team, and their clients.

A winning combination
After:
…8 years in the business of Google Ads and Google Analytics,
…helping 3000+ companies grow with and learn about Google Ads all over the world,
…having been to 90+ countries,
I respond to Google Ads questions and come up with strategies in my sleep. Yes, I sometimes dream about it. Desperate clients coming from big and small agencies to me, because their campaigns are not working. And, they have shown over and over again, that it matters very little how big the brand name was. Combining real experience, global business acumen, and a recent Master in Psychology at Harvard, makes many clients say: “If only I found you earlier, then we would’ve saved so many $$$$$, and made even more.” But, they also know that it’s never too late to take that step!

Knowledge is only as valuable as much as it can be shared.
Which is why I frequently teach classes and workshops, such as e.g. courses at the Vienna University of Economics or at Hult International Business School; or independently all around the world, like in Myanmar, Uganda, Ghana, Senegal, Austria, the US & many more!
