Ready to bridge them.
These are platform-specific gaps—not gaps in performance-marketing fundamentals.
Emerging paid-social breadth
Current gapTikTok, Snapchat, Pinterest, and Reddit are not documented at scale on the résumé.
Transferable advantageThe transferable system is proven: audience segmentation, creative testing, bid management, landing-page optimization, and measurement across new channels.
PMax and Shopping specificity
Current gapThe résumé shows scaled Google and SEM ownership, but does not name Performance Max or Shopping directly.
Transferable advantageDot & Bo provides relevant ecommerce acquisition context; platform-specific depth should be discussed precisely and never overstated.
MMP and multi-touch tooling
Current gapNo mobile measurement partner such as AppsFlyer, Adjust, or Branch is named.
Transferable advantageFull-funnel UTM attribution, HubSpot, Google Analytics, Tag Manager, SQL, Looker, and Sisense demonstrate the underlying measurement fluency.
Interview talk track
“My deepest hands-on experience is in scaled acquisition, SEM, funnel optimization, and performance analytics. I have managed seven-figure monthly budgets and built the attribution and testing systems behind them. Where a platform is newer to me, I bring a proven operating framework for audience, creative, bidding, landing pages, and measurement—and I ramp quickly without overstating experience.”
