Connecting the campaign to the work after it.

Marketing strategy, technical development and sales measurement in one role.

Acquisition with operational context

James personally manages $45,000 in monthly advertising spend. His responsibility also includes the intake and lead-management technology supporting the team, giving campaign work a direct connection to sales operations.

Performance beyond the inquiry

Lead delivery, follow-up and recorded outcomes matter after an ad produces a response. James develops the systems that connect those stages so the business can evaluate more than campaign activity alone.

A practical way to compare leads

Start with the cost of a closed policy, use delivered leads as a consistent denominator and distinguish written premium from agency revenue.
