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 obsession. PPC.
Paid media specialist based in Manchester, seasoned across agency agility and in-house depth. I run multi-channel campaigns across Google, Microsoft, Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Amazon and beyond, with a track record of scaling revenue not just spending budgets
Through 9 Lives PPC, I work exclusively with a limited number of businesses, offering expert campaign management, clear reporting, and real strategic direction without the typical agency layers. My goal is simple: build campaigns that drive measurable profit and sustainable growth, not just traffic and flashy charts.
With hands-on experience across both agency and in-house roles, I know how to plan, execute, and refine multi-channel campaigns that drive commercial results. Reporting gives you visibility, but revenue gives you growth. Too many accounts shine in a dashboard while bleeding cash in the background, and I built my reputation on never letting that happen.
My focus is deliberately narrow: paid media executed at the highest level. No SEO. No social media management. No broad brand strategy. Just campaigns built, managed, and continuously optimised to drive real commercial outcomes. I measure success by profitable growth, not by how many clicks or impressions a dashboard can generate.

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.

My 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.
F&Q
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.
