Paid media that earns its place in your budget
No layers. No account managers. No disappearing acts. You work directly with the person managing your campaigns.
Google Ads, Meta, Microsoft Ads and more — managed by a senior PPC specialist focused on profitable growth, not vanity metrics.
Nine lives, one specialism
I’m Pouyan Soroush, Senior PPC Manager based in Manchester with experience across both agency and in-house teams, managing paid media campaigns across Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Meta Ads, TikTok Ads, LinkedIn Ads, Amazon Ads and more.
Through 9 Lives PPC, I work directly with a select number of businesses, providing hands-on campaign management, strategic direction and clear reporting without the layers of a traditional agency. My focus is simple: building profitable, scalable campaigns that drive real business growth — not just clicks, impressions or impressive-looking dashboards.
My background spans both agency and in-house roles: planning and managing multi-channel campaigns, analysing performance, and making decisions based on what actually drives business results. Reporting matters, but so does commercial impact. Plenty of accounts can look healthy in a dashboard while quietly losing money in the bank.
The focus is intentionally clear: paid media, and paid media done properly. No SEO, social media management or broader brand strategy — just campaigns built, managed and optimised against real commercial outcomes. The goal isn’t to chase clicks and impressions; it’s to drive profitable growth and understand the true impact on the business.

How I work
📊
Revenue first
Success is measured in profit and cost per acquisition. Impressions and click-through rate are diagnostics, not goals.
🤝
No black boxes
It’s your account, your data and your access. Every change is documented and explainable.
🎯
One specialism
Paid media only. Depth in one channel beats a shallow pass at five.
⚡
Bias to action
Structured testing and fast iteration, rather than quarterly strategy documents nobody implements.

The process
1
Discovery call
A 20-minute conversation about your goals, margins, current performance and budget. No pitch — it’s a fit check in both directions.
2
Audit & plan
A review of your existing account and a written strategy covering structure, targeting, budget and the metrics we’ll judge it by.
3
Build & optimise
Campaigns go live and are worked on continuously — bids, negatives, creative, audiences and landing page feedback.
4
Report & review
Monthly reporting in plain English, plus a quarterly step back to reassess targets and channel mix.
Common questions
Do you require a long-term contract?
No. Work is month to month with 30 days’ notice. If it isn’t working after a couple of months, you shouldn’t be locked in.
What’s the minimum ad budget?
Around £1,000 per month is where paid search has enough room to gather data and improve. Below that, results take much longer to read reliably.
How quickly will I see results?
Obvious waste can usually be cut in the first fortnight. Meaningful, stable improvement typically shows across 60 to 90 days, depending on conversion volume.
Who owns the ad account?
You do, always. I work inside your account with your access, and you keep everything if we stop working together.
I already have an agency — can you still help?
Yes. A standalone audit gives you an independent read on whether your budget is being spent well, with no obligation to change anything.
Do you work outside the UK?
Primarily UK clients, but I also work with businesses outside the UK, including European accounts that fit well within my timezone. If you’re looking for hands-on paid media support, get in touch and we can see if it’s the right fit.
