Meta Ads Management for Facebook and Instagram
The modern Meta advertising ecosystem has grown too complex for standard campaign management. Scaling profitably now requires bridging the gap between technical tracking infrastructure, commercial unit economics, and high-volume creative production.
I am Chris Curry. As a freelance Meta Ads consultant, I do not just manage ad accounts. I build rigorous, predictable acquisition engines. With over a decade of hands-on experience scaling e-commerce and lead generation campaigns for brands like Myprotein and ASDA, I partner directly with high-growth businesses and marketing agencies across the UK to improve tracking accuracy and rebuild performance from the ground up.
How I Improve Meta Ads Performance
Conversions API & Pixel Tracking
Poor implementation causes tracking debt. I improve the accuracy, resilience, and consistency of your conversion data by implementing the Conversions API alongside the Meta Pixel. By ensuring properly deduplicated events and monitoring Event Match Quality, I provide the algorithm with a reliable foundation. This precise tracking infrastructure enabled my work with ASDA Money, which increased aggregate lead volume by 390%, with individual product campaigns also outperforming their commercial forecasts.
Bespoke Commercial Reporting
I move beyond standard Ads Manager metrics to build bespoke reporting frameworks that align platform data directly with your P&L. Through Reforge Metrics, I build a bespoke, Python-driven reporting framework that helps to scale efficiency and acquisition. By focusing strictly on true Marketing Efficiency Ratio (MER) and New Customer Acquisition Cost (ncCAC), I ensure every pound invested drives sustainable revenue. This relentless focus on unit economics allowed me to eradicate discount dependency for Myprotein, driving an 11.9x ROAS on brand-first creative.
Engineer Creative Systems
I replace guesswork with structured, data-led creative production loops. By feeding hard data and performance insights directly back into the briefing process, I rapidly optimise ad formats based on commercial reality rather than subjective aesthetic preference—the true hallmark of effective Facebook and Instagram advertising.

Meta Ads FAQs
I build bespoke data dashboards rather than relying solely on in-platform metrics. Many traditional campaign setups live entirely inside the Meta Ads Manager, optimising based on data that rarely matches your actual bank balance.
My core differentiator is data visibility. I integrate your backend store data directly with your ad platforms to establish a single source of truth. Whether your immediate goal is aggressive new customer acquisition or maximising overall profitability, I scale high-performing creative to drive top-line revenue while strictly protecting your target margin.
I typically manage monthly Meta ad spends between £10,000 and £100,000+. I partner with scaling brands and established agencies ready to push past their current growth ceilings.
However, if the unit economics are strong, I also architect campaigns for smaller budgets. This includes established brands testing niche markets or high-growth startups that require a rock-solid tracking foundation before scaling aggressively.
Yes. I manage campaigns across the entire Meta ecosystem, which includes both Facebook and Instagram. Budget is fluidly distributed between the platforms depending on where the algorithm identifies the most cost-effective conversions for your brand.
Yes. I architect acquisition systems for both e-commerce brands and lead generation businesses. While e-commerce focuses on product sales and catalogue optimisation, my lead generation frameworks focus on improving lead quality, decreasing cost-per-acquisition (CPA), and integrating CRM data to track offline conversions.
You should hire a consultant when you require direct, unfiltered access to senior-level expertise. Agencies often pass account management down to junior staff once the contract is signed. As a freelance Meta Ads consultant, I personally manage your technical infrastructure, commercial strategy, and daily media buying without the overhead or miscommunication of a large agency team.
I handle both. In the modern Meta ecosystem, the creative is the targeting. While I do not shoot raw footage on location, I act as your full-stack creative engine.
I take your raw assets or brand imagery and edit them into high-performing ad creatives. I build testing frameworks, script direct-response hooks, and analyse real-time data to rapidly iterate on the visual formats driving the cheapest conversions.
The Meta Pixel tracks user actions via their web browser, whereas the Conversions API (CAPI) sends conversion data directly from your server to Meta. Relying solely on the browser Pixel can lead to signal loss due to ad blockers or privacy settings. Implementing CAPI provides a redundant connection method to ensure maximum data reliability.
Yes. Before spending any budget on new campaigns, I run a deep-dive technical audit. I implement the Conversions API alongside the Meta Pixel to improve event deduplication, data freshness, and Event Match Quality (EMQ).
I also audit and clean your product catalogue feeds, which is absolutely essential for driving high-converting dynamic formats and Advantage+ sales campaigns.
A standard, rigorous onboarding sprint takes exactly two weeks. Because I manage every account personally, my capacity is strictly limited.
Week one is dedicated to technical tracking audits, historical account analysis, and creative strategy briefing. Week two focuses on restructuring the ad account architecture and building new testing environments before pushing the data-driven acquisition systems live.
Yes. I frequently act as a fractional, senior-level resource for established marketing agencies across the UK. I operate quietly behind the scenes to build, manage, and optimise Meta ad campaigns entirely under your agency's brand.
I can also step in as a specialist architect to untangle messy tracking infrastructure, or act as your internal Head of Paid Social during high-stakes client pitches. My workflow adapts entirely to your agency's structure and reporting cadence.
Is Your Meta Infrastructure Ready for Scale?
Real performance architecture cannot be diagnosed in a 30-minute window. I do not offer free account audits or generic "quick win" strategies.
If your current Meta setup is failing to scale, we start with an initial discovery call. This is a focused discussion to understand your infrastructure and determine if my methodology aligns with your growth targets.
On this initial call, we will:
- Discuss Commercial Realities: Review your current unit economics, MER targets, and ncCAC thresholds.
- Identify High-Level Bottlenecks: Discuss where your current system is breaking down (e.g., tracking degradation, creative fatigue, or account bloat).
- Define the Next Step: Determine if a comprehensive, paid Technical Audit is the necessary next step to rebuild your acquisition system.
