01About

Advisory grounded in operating experience — not observation of it.

For the past decade Sam has built and led an independent digital practice — accountable each month for the commercial results his strategies produce, across more than a thousand organisations from ambitious mid-market businesses to Suncorp, REA Group and the Australian Government.

He works with executive teams on questions of digital marketing investment: where spend is going, whether measurement holds up, how performance should be independently verified — and, increasingly, how organisations remain visible as search shifts from ranked links to AI-generated answers.

Sam is Google and Meta accredited. His specialist industries include banking and finance, mortgage broking, business brokerages, professional services, e-commerce and service industries.

More about Sam

02Expertise

A specialist practice at the intersection of AI and search.

i

AI Search & Answer-Engine Optimisation

Search is moving from ten blue links to a single generated answer. Sam advises on visibility across AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Copilot — structuring content, entities and authority signals so a brand is the one the model cites, not the one it forgets.

ii

AI in Marketing Operations

Practical application of AI across the marketing function — automated bidding, generative creative, content operations and reporting — with a clear-eyed view of what genuinely compounds performance and what is vendor theatre.

iii

Performance & Measurement

Spend reviews, attribution assessment and independent verification frameworks that give executive teams and CFOs an honest read on what marketing investment is returning.

iv

Organic Growth & Technical SEO

A decade of search practice underpins the AI work: technical foundations, content architecture and digital PR that hold up in both traditional rankings and generative results.

03Results

Selected engagements — and what they taught.

25x Sustained blended ROAS
$3M+ tracked revenue

Premium eCommerce retailer

A considered-purchase home category with a five-figure average order value. Full-funnel rebuild across Meta, Google and email — creative testing at velocity, tracking rebuilt server-side, and spend reallocated monthly against tracked revenue rather than platform-reported numbers.

The lesson

High AOV brands don't have a traffic problem — they have a trust problem. Solve the proof, and efficiency follows.

90% CPA reduction
8x organic growth YoY

Specialist online retailer

Inherited a paid account optimising to the wrong conversion event with no offline feedback loop. Measurement was rebuilt before a dollar of spend was touched — then paid restructured and an SEO program layered in, compounding to eight-fold organic growth inside a year.

The lesson

Most "underperforming" media accounts are actually measurement problems. Fix what the algorithm learns from, and the same budget behaves differently.

56K+ Tracked conversions
single client

National considered-purchase retailer

A category shopped rarely and researched heavily. Demand capture built around high-intent search and remarketing sequences matched to research stage — sustained over years, not campaign bursts, making it one of the highest-volume conversion engines in the portfolio.

The lesson

In rarely-purchased categories, the brand that stays present through the whole research cycle wins the moment of purchase.

Client names withheld — engagements and figures are real, and details are available in conversation.
