Meta Ads Management
for Facebook and Instagram
Effective Meta advertising connects campaign management, creative testing and conversion measurement. I manage Facebook and Instagram campaigns against agreed commercial targets, using performance analysis to guide budget allocation, creative development and optimisation. Each recommendation has a clear purpose: improve acquisition efficiency, address performance constraints or establish where further investment is justified.
I’m Chris Curry. My background spans more than a decade across creative production and marketing, including my role as Director of Creative Performance at THG Studios, where I worked with Myprotein and ASDA Money. Today, I partner directly with UK brands and agencies as a senior freelance Meta Ads consultant, combining strategic oversight with hands-on campaign delivery.
How I Improve Meta Ads Performance
Conversions API & Pixel Tracking
I audit and configure Meta Pixel and Conversions API implementations to improve the quality of conversion data used for reporting and optimisation. This includes checking event coverage, event values, deduplication and Event Match Quality. I prioritise fixes according to their effect on campaign measurement, with the setup aligned to your platform and consent controls.
Bespoke Commercial Reporting
I built Reforge Metrics to connect campaign and creative analysis with available website and commercial data. I use it to track performance over time and guide budget allocation, creative testing and optimisation. Where customer, revenue and wider marketing-spend data are available, I also assess new-customer acquisition cost (ncCAC) and Marketing Efficiency Ratio (MER).
Structured Creative Testing
I build hypothesis-led testing plans around your commercial priorities, then translate them into creative briefs, hooks, messaging and format variations. I assess results in the context of spend, audience and campaign conditions, using the findings to refine the next round of assets. This connects creative development directly to the decisions being made in your Facebook and Instagram campaigns.
