Social ads

I led the design of marketing advertisements for TotallyMoney, creating both motion and static assets for platforms including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Google Display Network and Reddit. My focus was on developing a cohesive creative direction that worked consistently across formats, ensuring the brand remained distinctive while performing effectively in diverse digital environments.

Outcome

Our sustained push on social media advertising played a key role in growing TotallyMoney’s customer base from 1 million to 6 million users. Many of the creatives I designed became top performers, remaining in rotation for several years due to their strong results. My work on this acquisition funnel was a major contributor, delivering engaging campaigns that consistently drove weekly sign-ups at scale.
