Founder + operator

With me, it's one contact. No red tape.

I run your paid media and build the tools around it myself. If the work is outside my scope, I'll tell you on the first call.

The short version

Why I work on my own

I led paid social at Cox Enterprises for six years, running dozens of campaigns across dozens of accounts at once, then planned digital investment for agency clients as a senior media manager at 22squared. Every account I have picked up since needed the tracking fixed before it needed strategy, and every one had a pile of busywork between the tools that nobody was automating.

At an agency, you have all these different calls and so many people. I wanted a more direct relationship. I fix the measurement before moving ad budget, and I build tools for the work that keeps repeating around the account.

Full time on Just Blake Media since September 2025. Marietta, Georgia. No employees, on purpose.

Who I am wrong for

I'd rather say no now than take the work and underdeliver.

  • You only run Google search. Meta and LinkedIn are the core, and I do not sell search as a standalone service.
  • You want one person doing content and paid media together. That is two jobs, and the second one suffers.
  • You need someone in your office every week. I am in the account every week, which is a different thing.
  • You spend under $10,000 a month on ads. A direct management retainer is the wrong shape. I'll tell you what I'd do instead.

How I work

What you can hold me to

  • Tracking before budget

    No budget moves until the measurement is trusted. Every account, every time.

  • Created paused

    Anything that spends, sends or publishes waits for a person. The system proposes with the dollar impact. You confirm.

  • A number and the reason

    Reports say what happened and why, in a form you can forward. Not a dashboard screenshot.

  • Reconciled to your data

    The platform's count gets checked against your own sales or lease data before anyone trusts it. When they disagree, that is the finding.

  • No on the first call

    If I am the wrong fit, you hear it on the first call instead of the third, and you leave with a name who is right.

I'll tell you whether I can help and what I would check first.
