Founded December 2016. Not a large agency. Not a team of twenty. A boutique operation built on over a decade of hands-on paid media, analytics, tracking, and automation — most of it doing the work other people passed off because it was too complicated.

2014–2014 — The experiment
After completing a digital marketing course, the straightforward route — apply for agency jobs — ran straight into a wall. The competition had degrees. The jobs were competitive. So instead of competing on paper qualifications, the decision was to go and build something real.
A small retail business, started locally. The marketing was done from day one — SEO, Facebook Ads, Google Ads. The goal was simple: prove the skills work before putting them on a CV. It turned profitable within three months. Over the following year and a half to two years, it generated a solid return before being wound down intentionally.
That retail business was never really about retail. It was a fully controlled test of whether digital marketing could move the needle on a real business with real money on the line. It could. And that result opened the next door.
2014–2016 — Highlight Media, Malta
The retail experiment was enough to land a role as Head of PPC at Highlight Media, a digital agency based in Malta. Managing paid campaigns at agency scale, across multiple clients — it was a significant step up, and a fast education in how larger operations work.
The frustration that shaped everything that came after was a simple one: the development team could never get to the tracking implementations and landing page changes that were needed. Weeks would pass. Work would stall. Conversion rate optimization that should have taken days was sitting in a backlog.
The response was to stop waiting. Google Tag Manager, JavaScript, front-end development — learned out of necessity, to implement the tracking that was needed and to run CRO tests on landing pages without depending on anyone else. That same period is when Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Bing Ads, and the full suite of Google's marketing tools became daily tools rather than things to hand off. The depth of proficiency that exists today came directly from that period of self-reliance.
2016 onwards — Extra Large Marketing
Extra Large Marketing was set up and the freelance path began. Upwork became the first source of clients — the profile is still active there — and the work diversified quickly. SEO, paid media, analytics, tracking implementation, CRO. The full stack.
Over time, a pattern emerged. Most of the clients who stay long-term are marketing agencies — companies that handle the relationship with the end client and pass along the work that's genuinely difficult. The campaigns no one else has been able to get results from. The tracking setups that keep breaking. The accounts that need someone who understands both the strategic side and the technical implementation, without needing to hand off either.
Because these are white-label relationships, client names stay confidential — NDAs are standard, and that's respected. But many of those relationships have been running for over seven years. That kind of retention doesn't happen by accident.
Now — Automation, AI agents, and what comes next
The current focus is on workflow automation and AI agent development — building systems that handle repetitive work intelligently, connect platforms that weren't designed to talk to each other, and give smaller businesses capabilities that used to require enterprise budgets.
It's the most interesting moment in the industry in years. LLM-powered tools are changing what's possible in marketing faster than most people are tracking. The upside is significant — for businesses that position correctly, the efficiency gains and new capabilities are real and accessible.
The worry is equally real. The next five years will almost certainly produce a wave of new wealth — and a wealth gap that will widen faster than anything we've seen from previous technological shifts. How that plays out for the businesses and workers on the wrong side of the adoption curve is something worth thinking about honestly, not just treating as background noise while the opportunity is chased.
The full stack — built up over a decade of needing to do things myself.
Search, Shopping, Display, YouTube. Smart bidding strategy, audience layering, conversion-focused campaign architecture. The core of everything since 2016.
Full GTM implementation, custom event tracking, server-side setups, enhanced conversions. Learned out of frustration at waiting for developers — now it's one of the strongest parts of the offering.
GA4, Looker Studio, Bing Webmaster Tools, Search Console. Daily use since the Highlight Media days. Custom dashboards, data layer work, cross-platform attribution.
SuiteScript 2.x, third-party integrations (Shopify, HubSpot, and others), saved searches, workflow automation. Custom ERP work for SMBs who don't need an enterprise implementation partner.
n8n, Make.com, Zapier. Connecting platforms that don't talk to each other, eliminating manual steps, building reliable automations that don't need babysitting.
The current frontier. Custom AI agents, RAG systems, autonomous workflows. Building the kind of tooling that gives smaller businesses capabilities that used to require much larger teams.
Most clients are marketing agencies. They handle the client relationship and pass along the accounts that are complex enough to need someone who understands both the strategy and the technical implementation. That combination is rarer than it should be.
The other part of the client base is SMBs — typically in specific industries like home services, professional services, and e-commerce — where the work is direct and the results are straightforward to measure.
Because most agency work involves white-label arrangements, client names stay confidential. That's why the case studies on this site don't name clients. It's not a limitation — it's how trust-based relationships in this space work. The longevity of those relationships is the proof point.
