Some client references
"I have been working with Ben for the last four months and can highly recommend him as a performance marketing expert (NPS=10 :-)). For an e-commerce project he helped us set up paid social ads and paid search ads (including intuitive tracking in Google Data Studio). I am super happy with the results and his way of working/communicating."
"It was fantastic to work together with Ben, who has exceptional expertise in performance marketing.
His hands-on approach, consulting and strong understanding of social media and digital marketing were keys to success for our team.
He is not only a reliable and forward thinking Growth Consultant but also an inspiring team player.
I would recommend him for his expertise and innovative ideas and look forward to an opportunity to work with him again."
"Ben was incredible to work with and was a huge game changer for a localization project we ran with him. He quickly got up to speed on our products and the paid search opportunity in front of us. In a short amount of time he outlined strategies that would help boost our outcomes; while interfacing seamlessly with our internal and external resources including a local agency, to drive performance gains. I'd gladly recommend working with Ben to anyone needing a sharp, driven paid search strategist who is an incredibly accomplished project manager."
"Ben is one of the most knowledgeable online marketers I know. He is very structured and he's got great analytical skills and attention to detail. I learned a lot from Ben by working by his side. He is a great team player, I'll be more than happy to work together with him again in the future!"
"Ben was our rockstar in the Performance Marketing team from June 2020 to Jul 2022. He established new processes and initiated innovative measurements to improve our performance in conversions, cost controlling and reporting. He showed incredible results in the area of customer acquisition, where TILCRA received an uplift of 85% in just 3 months. Ben is a power house and unmachted expert in his area. We had a lot of fun and success the same time. We would always hire Ben again!"
"Ben supported our Innovation Studio for about 1 year. He built the entire performance marketing setup for our digital product (productivity app, subscription business model), developed meaningful metrics, and also took over the operational management of Google Ads, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin Ads. I especially appreciated his great expertise. His decisions were always well-founded and coordinated with us. His work was always very well organized, fast, and reliable."
“Ben has been instrumental in setting up new performance channels for us. He’s prepared to go above and beyond the call of duty, with proactive suggestions and a strong focus on results. I’d be happy to recommend him to any early stage companies wanting to go from 0 to 1 in their performance marketing.”
"Ben is an amazing performance marketeer! He is highly skilled, very structured, communicates perfectly and brings value immediately. I highly recommend working with him and we will certainly do so ourselves!"
"I'm impressed with Ben's outstanding readiness to perform. He built up several Google Adwords accounts from scratch and lead them to great success in terms of revenue growth and ROI. He possesses excellent technical knowledge, great patience and a data-driven approach when solving complex problems in SEM and other Online Marketing channels."
"As a marketing executive, I come in contact with a lot of online marketing freelancers - and when it comes to e-commerce and digital marketing, Ben is one of the best I've met. We've worked together on several online channel projects at FinLInk, and aside from his skill set, what I appreciate most is how reliable and responsive Ben is. He is great for our development and always delivers an amazing result.
I am happy to recommend Ben here on LinkedIn and do so personally in my network whenever I have the opportunity."

Unlike many Marketing freelancers, Ben does focus on delivering fast results and save time where possible rather than "selling" his hours. Looking forward to continue working with Ben."
