Strategy-first. Data-obsessed. Growth-driven.

I don't just run ads — I build lead machines and growth systems.

I'm a data-driven digital marketing professional with 7+ years of experience turning ad budgets into measurable business outcomes. My specialty lies in real estate performance marketing — managing multi-channel campaigns across Meta, Google, LinkedIn, and third-party partners that serve both local Bangladeshi and Gulf NRB markets simultaneously.

At Sanmar Properties, I oversee the full digital marketing function: from campaign strategy and media buying to GA4/GTM tracking, Looker Studio dashboards, n8n marketing automation, and cross-functional alignment with sales and call-center teams. I don't just generate leads — I optimize the entire funnel to maximize SQL conversion.

My technical edge includes server-side tracking (95%+ data accuracy), AI-integrated workflows, and Python-powered analytics. I believe every marketing decision should be backed by clean, reliable data.

Campaign Overview

Green Park is Sanmar's flagship Chittagong residential project. Campaign ran 7 waves across 10 months with simultaneous targeting of local buyers and Gulf (UAE, Saudi, Qatar) NRB investors — two distinctly different buyer psychologies requiring separate messaging and creative.

Dual Audience Strategy: BD audience targeted on affordability & location convenience. Gulf NRB audience targeted on investment return, project credentials, and property show events.

  • Property Show tie-ins in Dubai (April & October) amplified Gulf pipeline
  • Call center lead validation within 24 hours; SQL feedback loop to optimize targeting
  • Month-on-month budget rightsizing based on CPL performance

Results & Learning

March was the highest-lead month (414 leads) at $3.27 CPL while November delivered the lowest CPL ($1.66) through hyper-targeted retargeting of warm audiences built over 8 months.

Key Learning: Audience maturation across a long-running campaign significantly reduces CPL. By month 8+, retargeting alone delivered 40% of MQL at 35% lower CPL.

Challenge

Artemis Fashion was running Meta Ads with a 1.5× ROAS — barely above break-even and unprofitable after COGS and overheads. Campaigns lacked proper audience structure, creative testing, and conversion tracking accuracy.

What I Fixed

  • Rebuilt campaign structure: TOF (Broad) → MOF (Retarget) → BOF (Hot Audience)
  • Installed Facebook Pixel + CAPI for accurate server-side conversion tracking
  • A/B tested 12 ad creatives; identified 3 top performers
  • Shifted budget to winning ad sets; killed underperformers weekly
  • Optimized landing pages for conversion — reduced friction at checkout

Execution Timeline

Week 1–2: Full audit, pixel fix, CAPI setup, structure rebuild

Week 3–4: Creative testing phase — 12 variations launched

Month 2: Scale winning ad sets; audience layering and lookalike expansion

Month 3+: ROAS sustained at 7–8× with monthly optimization

Result

+433% ROAS improvement — from 1.5× to 8× — transforming unprofitable ad spend into a reliable revenue channel. Achieved through tracking accuracy, creative optimization, and disciplined budget allocation.

Challenge

Daring Active, a growing Bangladeshi activewear brand, had multiple product lines but fragmented Meta Ads campaigns with no clear funnel structure. High awareness spend was not converting to purchases efficiently — ROAS was below profitability threshold across most campaigns.

Strategy & Execution

  • Restructured campaigns by product line: Onyx, Chai, Sheage, Espresso, AW24 Full Collection
  • Introduced Advantage+ Shopping Campaigns for automated product targeting
  • Built 3-tier audience structure: New Audience → Engaged → Existing Customers
  • Ran separate awareness campaigns (Colour Awareness BD) to feed retargeting pools
  • Built Looker Studio dashboard for client-facing performance visibility
  • SS25 campaign: focused on add-to-cart optimization with ৳152.94 per cart add

Platform & Channel Mix

Facebook: Primary — 305 purchases tracked, ৳81K+ spend

Instagram: 38 purchases, ৳76K spend — strong for lifestyle creatives

Audience Network: Supporting reach at ৳8.87 CPM

Ongoing (SS25): 1,134 adds to cart, 493K impressions, ৳173K spend

Results (Jan–Jun 2025)

Overall ROAS 3.09× with best campaign (Onyx) hitting 8.22× ROAS at just ৳623 cost per purchase. 3.29M impressions, 1.98M reach, 23,528 link clicks — and an SS25 season campaign scaling with 1,134 cart additions ongoing.
