About Monika

Hi, I'm Monika, a Senior Online Marketing Expert with over 10 years of experience in Digital Marketing and 7 years at Google, where I co-developed and scaled some of the highest-performing advertising products on the market: YouTube Ads, Display, and Performance Max.

I have advised international brands across various industries (including BMW, Ford, Coca-Cola, Samsung, Zalando, Sixt, and many more), SMEs, and high-growth startups worldwide – with the goal of achieving more leads, sales, and brand impact through smart, scalable, and data-driven strategies.

Now I'm bringing this insider knowledge to Malta and to you.

✅ What sets me apart:
I co-developed Google Ads products: As a former Product Lead for YouTube & PMax at Google EMEA, I not only know how these campaign types work – I helped develop them.

Strategic & operational: From overarching planning to detailed optimization, I bridge the gap between strategy and execution.

🏆 Exemplary results (from Google and freelance projects):
+220% more leads for a B2B SaaS startup through YouTube campaigns
-46% CPA for a DTC brand after a PMax restructuring
International scaling of a travel company (and other enterprise clients) through a full-funnel strategy
Training over 100 agencies and clients on best practices for video and display campaigns

💬 Let's talk
If you're looking for someone who knows Google Ads inside and out – and translates that knowledge into results for your business – I look forward to connecting.
