§ 01 — About

I grew up curious, which is a polite word for stubborn. The stubbornness is what kept me digging into measurement long after most marketers gave up on it.

I spent two years inside Google before agency life and ten years after that running advertising and analytics for brands across Europe. I learned the difference between data that looks important and data a marketing director can act on by Tuesday. Most of what I do is close that gap.

Today I run New North Digital — a small Dutch consultancy — from Barcelona, where the cortados are better and the time zone still works for clients in Amsterdam. I build internal tools too: a GA4 audit platform, a GTM container composer, a debugging MCP. The pattern is always the same — automate the boring half, free up the thinking half.

I work best with marketing teams who already have ambition and budget but lack measurement they can trust. If that's you, the contact form below is the right place to start.

“Most measurement problems aren't measurement problems. They're editorial ones — what do we agree counts, and who gets to change their mind.”
