$250M Google Ads Freelancer | Building PPC Profit Club 🚀 | Top 100 Most Influential PPC Expert

I've spent 10 years managing over $1B in Google Ads spend for brands like Huel, Domino's and WeWork.

Then something shifted.

In early 2025, I sent a simple email asking if anyone wanted to learn the AI workflows saving me 15+ hours per week. I expected maybe 5-10 replies.

Over 100 marketers showed up to the masterclass.

The response was mind-blowing... not because AI is magic, but because there's a massive gap between what these tools can do and what marketers actually know how to do with them.

So I spent months developing practical, 80/20 workflows that deliver what marketers actually need -clarity, systems, and results.

Most "AI training" focuses on tools that'll be outdated in 6 months, with nothing to do with running actual campaigns.

I teach practical, AI systems that save marketers (or anyone who writes to persuade or sell) 15+ hours per week.

WHO I WORK WITH:

→ CMOs and marketing leaders who need their teams AI-ready (yesterday)
→ Marketing teams who tried AI and got generic garbage
→ Executives who want AI strategy, not parlor tricks

WHAT I'VE DONE:

✓ Trained 200+ marketers in AI-powered workflows
✓ Built systems that cut research time from 10 hours to 90 minutes
✓ Top 25 Most Influential PPC Expert (2025)
✓ Audited $1B+ in Google Ads spend

Brands: Huel, Domino's, WeWork, JustPark, Symprove, Nyetimber, Acquisition.com Portfolio Company

WHAT MAKES MY TRAINING DIFFERENT:

I don't teach tools. I teach systems.

- Context engineering (the #1 skill nobody's talking about)
- Source-backed workflows (hallucinations are expensive)
- Decision frameworks (not just "write me an email")
- Real marketing problems (not generic use cases)

WHAT CLIENTS SAY:

"I saved 4–5 hours on each audit—basically a full week of work. The final presentations blew clients away. It changed the game for me."
— Gabriel Necchi, PPC Specialist

"Tom's workshop makes you think differently—you deploy systems the next day. Saved me at least 10 hours a month."
— Yazid B., Google Ads Consultant

CURRENTLY DELIVERING:

- Corporate AI Training (remote workshops)
- Executive AI Strategy Sessions
- Cohort Programs for agencies and marketing teams
- Open To: Podcast Interviews, Speaking Engagements & Guest Lectures

Stop calling it "nice to have."

AI fluency isn't optional anymore.
It's required.

Here's what I mean:
Your boss won't ask if you can use AI. They'll assume you already do.

Your clients won't care if you're "learning." They'll just hire someone who's already fluent.

Your competitors aren't debating it. They're 10 hours ahead of you every single week.

Everyone who puts in the work now will win.
Everyone who waits will scramble.

In 12-18 months, things will be unrecognisable.
Which side do you want to be on?

That's why I'm teaching The 20% of AI that matters (safely).
So you can have the AI edge without the AI risk.

My AI Philosphy: 
Process first. 
Tools second. 
Humans always.

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Chief AI Officer at aifluentsystems.com!

99% of people use AI like a stranger.

They have to reintroduce themselves to the AI in every conversation.

That's like building a house from the first brick, every single day.

I don't.

I've built over 100 AI specialists.
That already know my:

- business
- preferences
- what i like
- what i don't like

and how i want things.

So I can have more time for the important things in life :)

Now, i'm sharing these systems with you so you get your AI locked in too :)

My girlfriend started hiding my laptop.

Why? Because I became obsessed with building AI workflows & Skills.

But it paid off:
$15,000 website → $0 built with AI
Trying AI → Using AI Confidently
105 hours work week → 20-25 hours work week
ChatGPT Lying to me → 99.9% trust score
Senior Consultant Presentations → 13 minutes
$100,000 Email Marketer → Unlimited Email Ideas for $0
Landing page critiques → 3 minutes (no more procrastination)

And the results are BETTER than before.

This isn't about cutting corners. It's about automating the busy work so you can focus on high-value strategy (and the important parts of your life).

On Feb 25th (Wednesday, 2PM GMT), I'm sharing my entire system - the exact prompts, workflows, and setup that transformed my life & work.

I spoke to a Growth Lead at a $470M company last month.

"We're all experimenting with AI... but we'd rather just have someone who actually knows what they're doing."

Then she said something that stuck with me:
"I'm trying to build a GPT and I'm trying to build a sort of agent thing, but I don't really know what I'm doing."

They have all the tools.
No training on HOW to use them confidently.

This is every marketing team right now that I talk to.

Sound familiar? Repost ♻️ for a team you know like this.

Head of Growth at AiApply | ex Deliveroo, Depop, Perkbox & Nude | Host the 'In Growth We Trust' podcast | Startup Advisor

I didn’t come into growth through a textbook or a formal program. I built my career in the trenches of performance marketing, inside fast moving startups where the only rule was to make things work. 

From launching paid social channels at early stage companies to scaling growth teams across consumer brands, I’ve always been drawn to ambiguity and momentum.

There were no playbooks handed to me on day one. Just business goals, blank dashboards, and a constant need to figure things out. I learned to think like both a marketer and a builder, spotting patterns before there was enough data, iterating when certainty did not exist, and making decisions that balanced instinct with evidence. 

That hands on, test first mentality still shapes how I approach growth today.

Today, I’m the Chief Growth Officer at AIApply, helping rethink how people experience the job search. We are building products that remove friction from a process that is often stressful and opaque, using technology in a way that is practical, human, and genuinely useful. It is not about growth for growth’s sake, but about solving real problems at scale.

I still operate like a practitioner. I stay close to the data, the experiments, and the details. I believe good marketing is earned, not manufactured, and that responsible growth matters more than fast wins that do not last. 

I care deeply about building teams that feel ownership over their work and understand why what they are doing matters. You will not find polished frameworks or buzzword heavy playbooks here. I share openly about growth, marketing, and building in public because I believe the real work is often messier and more thoughtful than it appears from the outside. 

If you have ever felt like this work is both highly creative and quietly existential, and that tension is what keeps you sharp, then we will probably get along. Let’s connect 👋

When your boss knows you too well...

And brings you back a 1996 Alakazam Pokemon card from his trip to Tokyo 🇯🇵

Not only because I do love cool objects
But also because he added "you reminded me of this pokemon, a wizard" 🧙‍♂️

Very cool, thanks Aidan Cramer, super thoughtful ☺️

I'd still take a pay rise though!

FYI: This pokemon has the coolest names, Abra -> Kadabra -> Alakazam 🪄

You won't believe it, but this AIApply video was made by Claude...

✨ One-shot prompt
✨ Claude code + Github + Remotion
✨ Taking elements straight from our codebase

Imagine a world where a 1-person growth team can automate and deploy product content on any channel just by linking GitHub to LLMs...

Well, that's happening today! 🤯

What are you waiting for?

Some shots from the fabulous growth event at Sushi Samba organised by the legendary Hannah Parvaz from Aperture but also Paddle.

MRR was unlocked that night 📈

Thx for the invite 👏

You're not ready for this!

I love his "walk and talk" videos ❤️

Big thanks to Raphael Yarish for inviting me to his show.

LFG!!!

Most people obsess over WHERE they should work,

They shouldn't...

👀 Big logo
👀 Big brand
👀 Big valuation

The real cheat code isn’t where.

It’s WHEN.

Because honestly, AIApply, Deliveroo or Depop on my CV aren’t impressive because they’re well-known today.

They’re impressive because I joined early enough to be part of the inflexion point. That chaotic, scrappy, high-conviction moment where a company goes from:

“Wait… what is this?”
to
“Oh sh*t… everyone knows this.”

That moment is electric.
And it changes you.

👉 You don’t just “do a job”
👉 You build the machine.
👉 You ship fast, break things, fix them, learn everything.

You develop an obsession with impact.

If you’re hungry
If you want to crush it
If you’re ready to give it everything you’ve got

Then maybe the best move isn’t chasing the biggest startup.
It’s finding an early-stage one with:

✅ a genuinely great idea
✅ early traction (even small, but real)
✅ a team that’s moving like they have something to prove

Because joining too late means you’re executing the playbook.

Joining early means you’re writing it ✍️

And trust me, that’s where the fun is.

What’s the best early inflexion point company you’ve ever joined (or wish you had)?
