When I started my journey in ecom it was because I couldn't get a job out of college. By 2022, I had personally managed $200M+ in ad spend and scaled a brand from $1M to $530"
My path to running 8/9-figure ad accounts was anything but conventional. I went from not knowing what a media buyer was to scaling a brand to a multi-billion dollar valuation.
My story is rooted in a firm belief in God and the vision he has for me.
2016: No finance firm wanted me after college. Saw a job post for "media buyer" - had no idea what that meant but applied anyway.
Became the TOP media buyer at the agency in 2 MONTHS. Went through the Facebook Blueprint course in my first week. (I still recommend this to every single person starting off on meta ads)
2018: I was sick of managing random brands/business ads and wanted to join a company with IPO potential (wanted to ring that fucking NYSE bell, still do) where I could get equity.
Stumbled upon Ruggable on indeed, a vc-backed startup with a strong paten that was disrupting an archaic industry
The founder asked: "Are you the one who's going to take us to hundreds of millions?"
I immediately said "Yes, I'm HIMOTHY” - then scaled them from $1M to $550M in North America revenue over the course of the next 5 years.
2019-2020: Launched them in UK, Europe, Australia - zero to 8 figs in under a year in EACH market. Built out Pinterest, TikTok, OTT, YouTube, literally every ad platform. Even initially built out their email marketing infrastructure on Klaviyo because we didnt have anyone running email yet (this was when klaviyo was new new af)
I had to fight off agencies - all these big-name companies were trying to take my job and get me fired. But I ran their ads from day one and scaled with the company the whole time. Executives came and went, but I stayed, constantly proving my value through results.
While other guys I knew were making money as entrepreneurs, I stayed at Ruggable because I knew it would give me knowledge NO ONE else would have.
Everyone was obsessing over fancy metrics and complicated strategies, I kept it simple - focusing on what actually moved the business forward. That's why I was able to see things others missed.
2022: When it became clear we weren't going to IPO soon I started posting on Twitter & sharing Meta ads insights from running $320M+ in spend. Launched my agency We Are The Select while still at Ruggable, and got my first client with an ugly as f*ck landing page with no logo.
2023: Kept getting DMs from people needing help. Realized I could package everything I did for agency clients into a coaching program.
That's how META ADS AT SCALE was born. Now we've got brands at $10K, $100K, $300K, $500K and $1M+ monthly revenue.
We're the only ones helping brands at EVERY level. Just got someone from $300K to almost $1M in less than 3 months..
2024-Now: April 2024 I finally left Ruggable to focus on my agency and coaching program full-time. Have over 100 students, and agency clients who I love working with.
I wouldn't give up the position I'm in now for anything else.
All because I stayed true to my convictions and followed God's plan for me.
The goal: 100 ecom brands doing $10M+ a year by 2027 - that's $1B in annual revenue from brands in my program.
God gave me this vision and I'm just getting started
