// About

Nine years of paid media.
One obsession.

Making clients' budgets work harder — not by spending more, but by understanding the data well enough to spend smarter. That's what ThinkingMan was built to do.

// The story

Why ThinkingMan exists.

After nine years running paid media — from growing brands in Nigeria through enterprise accounts at Mindshare managing £1M+ in spend — one pattern kept appearing. Businesses weren't struggling with budget. They were struggling with clarity.

What was their ad spend actually returning? Which channels were genuinely driving revenue versus appearing to? Were the numbers on the dashboard reflecting reality or a fiction built by misaligned tracking? Most agencies answer these questions with confidence intervals and trend lines. The honest answer, more often than not, is that the data itself needs fixing before any of those questions can be answered properly.

ThinkingMan was started to close that gap. Not with more spend, more tools or more dashboards — but with real data science and analysis applied to the specific shape of each client's business. A mechanical engineering degree teaches you to model systems before you build them. That's exactly what paid media needs more of.

// Career

Nine years. Four environments.
One through line.

2015–2017
Paid Media Executive

2017–2020
Senior Paid Media Manager
Creative Agency · Milton Keynes
Moved into a UK creative agency environment managing a diverse client portfolio. Developed cross-channel thinking — understanding how paid media interacts with creative, landing page quality and the full conversion path.

Enterprise-scale media management at one of the world's largest media networks. Managed £1M+ in annual ad spend including global accounts such as Castrol. Developed the operational rigour and analytical framework that underpins how ThinkingMan runs accounts today.

// What we believe

The principles we don't compromise on.

// 01
Data before spend. Always.
We won't move budget until the measurement is clean. A good-looking ROAS built on broken tracking isn't a result — it's a liability. Every engagement starts with the data before it starts with the campaigns.
// 02
Honest reporting over comfortable reporting.
If something isn't working we'll say so before you ask. If the data says a channel should get less budget, we'll tell you even when it means less work for us. Our job is to make your business money — not to protect our retainer.
// 03
Build for the business, not the benchmark.
Industry ROAS benchmarks are based on averages. Your business isn't average — it has specific margins, a specific customer journey and a specific definition of success. Everything we build is modelled around that, not around what the platform defaults suggest.
// 04
The work compounds when the foundation is right.
The clients we work with longest are the ones where the foundation was built properly in month one. Clean data, right structure, honest model. Everything that comes after — the optimisation, the scaling, the new markets — is faster and more defensible because of it.
