I don't optimize for clicks.
I optimize for revenue.

Most businesses don't have a marketing problem — they have a revenue system problem disguised as one. They run more ads, post more content, test more platforms. Yet revenue stays inconsistent and no one can explain where growth is actually coming from.

That's the gap I close. I design and build the full-funnel infrastructure — CRM, attribution, paid acquisition, automation, and conversion architecture — that makes marketing profitable, measurable, and scalable.

With 8 years of hands-on experience across performance marketing, growth systems design, and marketing leadership, I operate at the intersection of strategy and execution. My ambition: Head of Growth Systems / Head of Marketing — owning the full revenue architecture end to end.

📐

Revenue Systems Architecture

Full-funnel systems from zero — CRM, automation, attribution, landing pages, and acquisition engines built as integrated revenue infrastructure.

🎯

Performance Marketing Execution

Multi-channel paid acquisition (Meta, Google, TikTok, Jiji) with a bias for ROAS, CAC efficiency, and scalable spend — not just campaign management.

📊

Attribution & Analytics Intelligence

GA4, GTM, Pixel tracking, UTMs, and "How did you hear about us" frameworks that reveal exactly where revenue is coming from — and where it's leaking.

⚙️

Growth Systems Thinking

LTV:CAC optimization, lead velocity analysis, pipeline velocity tracking, and conversion infrastructure designed for scaling — not guessing.


Building a Revenue Engine
from Zero

How I built complete marketing infrastructure for a 15-year-old B2B industrial brand and generated KES 60M in revenue on KES 2.2M ad spend.

Thermoteq Limited
B2B Industrial Equipment — Prefab Houses, Commercial Kitchens, Bakery Equipment, Cold Rooms
Nov 2024 – Dec 2025 13 Months Contract · Solo Marketer Nairobi, Kenya

Thermoteq had been operating for 15 years with no CRM, no digital tracking, no marketing attribution, and no growth infrastructure. Revenue of KES 36.09M was coming primarily from Billboard advertising and an untracked Jiji.co.ke subscription. I was brought in as the sole marketing resource to build the entire digital marketing function from scratch — and to turn it into a measurable, scalable revenue system.

Starting Conditions

  • No CRM, no marketing automation, no digital tracking whatsoever
  • Revenue data existed only for closed customers — no pipeline visibility
  • No "Where did you hear about us?" tracking — attribution was impossible
  • Existing channels: Billboard advertising, untracked Jiji subscription (KES 33,300/mo), and Meta Ads run without conversion tracking
  • No creative team — relied on outsourced designers and social media managers (I led the hiring process)
  • Company had never measured CAC, LTV, ROAS, or CPL
  • Previous annual revenue: KES 36,090,000 + KES 1.2M from Billboard services

Key Challenges

  • Had to build measurement infrastructure before I could optimize — tracking came first
  • Existing Jiji subscription was non-negotiable at first; had to demonstrate performance data before repositioning spend
  • Long B2B sales cycles (74 days) meant delayed attribution signals — needed UTMs and survey data to fill gaps
  • No support team; acted simultaneously as strategist, analyst, campaign manager, and part-time creative director
  • Had to reconcile manual Excel customer records with platform-reported data for accurate baseline analysis
  • Company was planning a Kitengela branch expansion — growth targets were ambitious from Day 1
🏗️

Marketing Stack from Zero

HubSpot CRM, Zapier automation, GA4 + GTM tracking, Webflow landing pages. First data-driven marketing infrastructure in company history.

📡

Attribution Framework

Multi-channel UTM tracking + "How did you hear about us?" surveys for offline/TikTok attribution. Enabled cross-channel ROAS and CPL reporting.

🎯

Multi-Channel Paid Acquisition

Google Ads (shifted to long-tail buyer-intent keywords in H2), Meta Ads with Lookalike audiences, TikTok, and Jiji — all tracked to revenue.

🤖

CRM Automation & Lead Scoring

HubSpot lead scoring and automated nurture workflows reduced manual lead qualification by 60%. Sales team prioritized high-intent leads only.

🔁

H2 Pixel & Retargeting Upgrade

Implemented improved Meta Pixel tracking using H1's 263 successful customers as Lookalike seed audience — directly driving the jump from 267 to 622 Meta leads.

📈

Creative & Channel Maturity

Shifted TikTok from micro-influencer brand awareness (H1) to direct-response paid ads (H2) after 3+ months of market warming — 72 customers at 32.2% conversion rate.

The following recommendations were left with Thermoteq's leadership as a strategic handover brief for their incoming marketing team.

Priority 01

The Prefab Engine — High-Ticket Lead Capture

Prefab houses account for over 53% of revenue but only 7.2% of total customers. The opportunity is to capture these high-intent buyers earlier in their 67-day journey.

Action: Create a dedicated Lead Magnet ("The 2026 Guide to Prefab Costs in Kenya") for Meta and Google. Capture leads at the research stage and enter them into an automated nurture sequence through the full sales cycle.
Priority 02

TikTok Shift — Community Over Ads

TikTok's lead-to-customer rate was 32.2% in H2 — the highest of all channels. This is the strongest signal in the data, and it's being underinvested.

Action: Invest in "Behind the Scenes" content — show a prefab house being assembled in 48 hours. This builds the trust required for a multi-million shilling purchase decision and reduces the paid acquisition cost over time.
Priority 03

Cold Room B2B Evaluation

Cold Rooms generated only KES 1.1M (1.8% of revenue) across the engagement — the lowest-performing line by a wide margin.

Action: Evaluate whether this is a marketing problem or a market-fit problem. If margins are viable, a dedicated LinkedIn B2B campaign targeting agribusinesses and pharmaceutical distributors is the correct channel — not Jiji or TikTok.
Priority 04

CRM & WhatsApp Automation at Scale

With 2,236 leads in H2 alone, the sales team was stretched. Manual follow-up at this volume creates significant revenue leakage.

Action: Implement an automated Email/WhatsApp Nurture sequence for all 2,236 H2 leads. Any lead that doesn't close within 30 days should automatically receive a client testimonial video — trust-building at zero marginal cost.

Proof Through

I use my own channels as live testing grounds for content architecture, algorithm behavior, and audience psychology — not theory.

Reactivated a dormant channel (514 subscribers after 2 years offline) to 1,007+ subscribers in 98 days — hitting monetization eligibility — through thumbnail redesign that lifted CTR from 5.1% to 13.2% (+159%), and retention-optimized content structure. Top video: 72K views. Zero paid spend. Channel niche: movie recaps targeting African and African-diaspora cinema in English — a high-opportunity, low-competition content gap. What this proves: Content architecture and audience psychology, not luck or ad spend, drive sustainable channel growth.

Built an audience of 5,890 followers and 1.83M views in 90 days with zero ad spend and zero prior TikTok presence. 1M views reached within 48 days. Driven entirely by content architecture — hook engineering, pattern interrupts, and algorithm behavior analysis — not virality luck. What this proves: I understand how TikTok's discovery engine works at a system level, not just as a practitioner. This is the same knowledge applied to TikTok campaign strategy for clients.
