The record

Sheet 02 · Revenue, media, brand

Before the code there was a quota. Roughly eleven of the last eighteen years carried a direct revenue number — which is why the systems on this page tend to start from "what does this have to earn?" rather than "what shall we build?"

$735K Cumulative revenue over nine months at an investor-backed agency LogoCorps · Jan–Sep 2022
275% Growth in monthly revenue — $40K to $150K, a $1.8M annualised run rate at peak Same period
120+ Headcount reached in 18 months. First employee; recruited the founding CTO, CFO and HR lead LogoCorps · 2021–23
$50–100K Monthly revenue target carried as Associate VP, Sales RetroCube · 2018–21

Monthly revenue, Jan – Sep 2022

3.75× in nine months

Paid social — ≈ $61K managed

  • $46,783.89 — lifetime Meta spend on a US design brand, with an account Opportunity Score of 100/100 and zero outstanding recommendations.
  • 734 conversations @ $8.08 — click-to-message lead generation against a $29 front-end offer.
  • AED 52,081 (~$14.2K) — managed for a Dubai design brand, eight campaigns live.
  • And then the other half of the loop: I built the CRM those leads land in. See Orange / DX CRM.

Brand, delivery & craft

  • Head of Brand & Production — owned brand strategy, guidelines and go-to-market; led a cross-functional creative and development team.
  • 300% upsell growth and new online business units launched as Operations Manager at a growing digital agency.
  • PMP certified. Scope, budget, timeline, QA and P&L owned end-to-end since the Facebook-app and BlackBerry era.
  • 15+ years remote for US employers — Sunnyvale, Santa Ana, Dallas, Sugar Land. Not an adjustment; the default.
