Google Certified PPC (AdWords/Social) Ads Specialist | 8yrs Experience

With nearly a decade of IT and Internet Marketing experience, the #1 thing that I have learned is customers want fast, strong results and to not feel like a number. That's why I'm passionate about working with businesses, developing customized strategies and personal relationships.

My name is Doug B, Digital Marketing freelancer with over 8 years of industry experience. You are looking for a Paid Traffic (PPC) Specialist who is analytical, detail oriented, entrepreneurial and has strong bid management knowledge. Well you’ve come to the right place, because I’m your man!

Just recently, I left an in-house job at a large agency (iProspect) where I was managing $600,000/mo in ad spend across Google, Bing and Yahoo. Prior to that, I was a dedicated PPC vendor for an agency where I was managing $100,000/mo in paid traffic across Google, Bing, Yahoo, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and AdRoll. Now I'm focusing my career on becoming a digital nomad and helping business across the world take their PPC efforts to the next level!
