Matt Hanfeld
Matt Hanfeld Marketing Lead for Ecommerce Brands

More sales. Better margins. And someone in your corner.

I help ecommerce brands acquire more customers, convert more visitors into buyers, and increase repeat purchases, through Meta Ads, Google Ads, Klaviyo email and SMS, conversion work, and cleaner tracking.

It's mostly me on your account, with a small team behind me when needed. You work directly with me, no account managers in the middle.

More than running channels, I help you spot what's holding growth back, decide where to focus next, and keep the right work moving so the business grows.

Best fit: ecommerce stores already selling that want one person responsible for revenue from marketing, with support that scales as the business grows.

Flat monthly fee — less than hiring a marketing person in-house. No lock-in, scope scales with the business.

One person owning the number

Direct access to me. No account managers, no hand-offs. You text, call or email me.

Fix what's actually losing you sales

Not just one channel. I look across ads, site, offer and retention to find what's costing you revenue.

Pay for what moves the needle

The focus shifts with the business. You're never paying for work that isn't growing revenue or profit.

Sound familiar?

Most brands I work with aren't starting from zero. They're already selling, but they're stuck in one of these patterns:

  • Revenue is fine, but growth has flattened. Sales are okay, but they're not climbing the way they should be.
  • You've got an ads person, an email person, maybe a designer. Nobody's connecting them to actually grow the number.
  • Your agency reports on numbers but never tells you what to do. You're paying for a dashboard, not for decisions.
  • You don't need another vendor. You need someone responsible for the revenue.

If two of those land, keep reading.

Hundreds of brands in, and the approach hasn't changed.

More customers, higher conversion, more repeat buyers.
Run as one system.

The goal is simple: get more of the right people to your store, turn more of them into buyers, and bring more of them back. I'm responsible for how the pieces work together to make that happen.

That means coordinating ads, email, site and offer so growth comes from the system, not from one tactic working harder than the rest.

Here's how that work shows up. Some of it runs in the background. Some becomes the focus for a few weeks. Some isn't needed right now at all.

  • Meta Ads: more new customers. Facebook and Instagram campaigns, creative and testing aimed at lower cost per acquisition and a better ROAS.
  • Google Ads: capture people ready to buy. Search, Shopping and Performance Max, so you show up the moment someone's looking for what you sell.
  • Email and SMS: more revenue from the customers you already have. Klaviyo flows and campaigns that lift repeat purchase rate and LTV without extra ad spend.
  • Ad creative: keep finding winners. New angles, formats and variations so you're not stuck riding one ad until it dies.
  • Offers and landing pages: convert more of the same traffic. Better offers and pages that lift conversion rate without spending a cent more.
  • Tracking: spend with confidence. Cleaner numbers so you can see what's actually working and stop wasting money on what isn't.
  • Site conversion and retention: more sales, more repeats. A smoother buying journey on Shopify, plus a plan to bring customers back more often.
Matthew reviewing Q2 priorities and growth levers with client team at whiteboard
Working through revenue, conversion and retention with a client team. The whole picture, not just one channel.
Every piece of work ties back to one of three things: more sales, better margins, or more repeat customers.

Why I do this

Most business owners know marketing matters. They know they should be running ads, building an email list, improving conversion, retaining customers and tracking what's working.

The challenge is turning all of those moving parts into a system that actually helps the business grow.

That's the part I enjoy most. Building a marketing system that fits the business, keeping it moving, and helping owners focus on what's likely to make the biggest difference next.

Because growth rarely comes from one tactic. It comes from having the right pieces working together.

What working with me actually looks like

STEP 01

Stabilise what's running

Whatever's already live keeps running while I get the lay of the land: ad accounts, Klaviyo, tracking and store performance.

STEP 02

Find the biggest revenue lever

The fastest path to more sales right now. Sometimes it's ads, sometimes it's a product page, an offer, email, or fixing tracking so spend stops leaking.

STEP 03

Work on what moves the number

Attention goes to the lever that matters most. The rest keeps running. Every project ties back to more customers, higher conversion or stronger retention.

A few of the results

These aren't my only wins, just a handful that show what good work looks like across different stores and channels.

Apparel store
Email from 15% → 40% of revenue

Their email was a few basic sends and not much else. I rebuilt it into a full program of flows and campaigns, and it went from a nice-to-have to nearly half the revenue.

What the work looks like

When a channel is part of the focus, this is the standard the work is done to, and the kind of revenue it's built to drive.

Email & SMS · Klaviyo

Turn more first-time buyers into repeat customers.

Email and SMS should drive 20% to 30% of your store's revenue. It's the highest-margin money you'll make, with no ad spend attached. If you're not in that range, let's chat. If you are but reckon it could be tighter, let's chat about that too.

Ad creative

More winning ads, more often.

The brands that win test more ad angles. That takes more creative than any single designer can churn out. Working from your existing content and footage, we produce the volume and variations needed to keep finding winners, so cost per acquisition keeps trending down instead of creeping up.

Meta Ads

More new customers from Facebook and Instagram.

Hand your ad account to a big agency and it often gets passed to a junior you'll never meet. With me, the person on the account is the person you hired, working on lower CPA, better ROAS, and more first-time buyers in the door. Here are three angles I'd run for the same brand.

What this looks like in real life

Take Linen Connections. Good product, proven market, sales coming through the door, but growth had plateaued.

The issue: nobody was making sure every visitor, customer and ad dollar was actually working.

We tightened Meta Ads, rebuilt the core Klaviyo flows, fixed tracking so we could see what was working, and improved the store so more traffic converted and more customers came back.

Conversion rate went from 0.5% to over 2%. Monthly revenue from $5k to $200k+. Same product, same market, better execution.

The questions I ask

Most marketing problems aren't channel problems. Before changing anything, I want to understand the business. These are the questions I keep coming back to:

  • Is traffic actually the problem? Or is the traffic fine and something else is leaking?
  • Why aren't people buying? Price, offer, trust, product page, checkout. What's really stopping them?
  • Why aren't customers coming back? Is retention being earned, or just hoped for?
  • Is the offer strong enough? The best ad in the world can't save a weak offer.
  • Is the website helping or hurting? What does the experience feel like for a first-time visitor?
  • What's the biggest thing holding the business back right now? Often it's not where everyone's been looking.
  • What would create the biggest improvement over the next 90 days? That's where the focus goes.

More sales, better margins, less wasted spend. That's the job.

The channels run in the background, Meta Ads, Google Ads, Klaviyo email and SMS, tracking, conversion and retention. That's the foundation that drives the numbers.

The bigger value is having someone who understands the business, helps you spot what's holding revenue back, and works with you on what will grow it next.

Less "channel manager." More "someone in your corner."

You're not buying a package. You're getting someone responsible for the number.

Most agencies sell channel management, a list of deliverables checked off every month. My job is different: help the business grow, not just keep the lights on.

That means spotting what's holding revenue back, deciding where the focus should go, and making sure the right work is happening, not just any work.

Typical agency
Channel manager
  • ✓Fixed monthly package
  • ✓Set deliverables every month
  • ✓Reports the numbers, not what to do
  • ✓Stays inside their channel
  • ✓Designed to fit lots of clients
In-house hire: $8k–$10k+/month loaded
VP Marketing
Someone in your corner
  • ✓Direct access to Matt
  • ✓Manages your core marketing drivers: Meta, Google, and Email
  • ✓Helps you decide what to focus on next
  • ✓Understands the business, not just the channels
  • ✓The relationship grows with the business
  • ✓Acts like part of the team
Flat monthly fee — a fraction of an in-house hire

You work directly with me. Someone who runs the marketing system, helps you think through what's next, and acts like part of the team. No unnecessary layers. No bloated retainers. Just the right person in your corner, helping the business move forward.

Who I work best with

I'd rather be upfront than waste your time or mine. Here's where I tend to add the most value, and where I don't.

Good fit

  • Ecommerce brands already selling
  • Owners who want a partner, not a vendor
  • Businesses that value honest advice over polish
  • Owners playing the long game
  • People who want someone proactive, not just reactive

Probably not a fit

  • Looking for overnight results
  • Just want someone to run ads in isolation
  • Shopping on price alone
  • Don't want outside input on the business
Matthew, Founder of VP Marketing

Hi, I'm Matt. I help ecommerce businesses build and run a complete marketing system. That means looking after Meta, Google, email, tracking, conversion and retention while helping identify what's most likely to move the business forward next. If you're looking for someone to own the marketing and think about the business with you, I'd love to learn more about your store.

Want someone to own the marketing and help the business grow?

I partner with ecommerce stores that want one person owning the marketing system and adjusting focus as the business changes. If that sounds like you, apply below.

Flat monthly fee — less than hiring a marketing person in-house. No lock-in, scope scales with the business. I'll tell you if I don't think it's a fit. I read every application myself. If it looks like I can genuinely help grow the business, I'll invite you to a call. If not, I'll be upfront.

Please fill in your name, business, email and what you sell.

Not a form person? WhatsApp me or send an email, it comes straight to me.
