Hi, I'm Danylo.(Call me Danny.)

Performance marketing specialist based in Vancouver, BC. I help small service businesses build acquisition systems that don't depend on hope, vibes, or "trust the algorithm." Just numbers, plain reports, and shared risk.

Eleven years of running ads.
One belief about how it should work.

I started in performance marketing in 2015 — running Google Ads campaigns for small businesses across Ukraine and, eventually, 15+ other countries.

Over those years I managed more than $1 million in ad spend across clinics, ecommerce, online and offline events, and dozens of service businesses. Most of them small. All of them needing the same thing: clients, not clicks.

In 2022 I moved to Cyprus, and in 2024 to Vancouver — where I made a deliberate decision: stop running campaigns for everyone, everywhere, and focus on doing one thing very well — helping local service businesses in the Lower Mainland grow with paid acquisition.

Not through agency middlemen, dashboards no one reads, or hidden retainers. Through small base fees, performance-based pricing, and monthly reports a non-marketer can actually understand.

The story
How I got here

Eleven years.
From Kyiv to Vancouver.

2015–16

Agency years

First Google Ads campaigns inside Eastern European agencies. Three weeks into a Kyiv print-shop account, the owner doubled production — I was hooked.

2016–20

Independent

Went freelance. Built my own client list across Ukraine and 15+ countries — and my own opinions about how this work should be done.

2018–22

Co-owner, IDN Skin & Hair Clinic

Co-owned a skin & hair clinic in Kyiv. I lived the other side of the table: real overhead, real payroll, marketing judged only on booked clients.

2022–25

Back in agencies

Moved to Cyprus in 2022. Returned to agency work at scale — Google Ads and influencer marketing across multiple markets.

2024

Moved to Vancouver

Relocated to BC and reset the client list — choosing to work only with local service businesses I can actually visit and understand.

2025

Independent again — in Vancouver

Went freelance again, now on a base fee + performance fee model — I earn only when real clients show up. The model I run today.

Today

Small client list, big focus

Working with a small number of Vancouver businesses at a time. Each one gets me directly — no junior account managers, no escalation tickets.

Principles
How I work

Four things I won't compromise on.

01Shared risk

Small base fee plus a performance fee tied to revenue from new clients. If I don't deliver, I don't earn. Same incentive as yours.

02You own everything

Your ad account, website, tracking pixels and data — registered to you from day one. If we ever part ways, you walk away with the asset.

03No black box

Monthly reports in plain English. Cost per client, ROI, what I changed and why. Zero dashboard theatre, zero "industry benchmark" hand-waving.

04Honest "no"

If the numbers don't support running ads, I'll tell you. I've turned down clients whose unit economics weren't there yet. I'd rather lose a deal than waste your budget.

Toolkit
What I use

Tools, not religions.

I pick whatever fits your stack and your budget — no platform tribalism, no upsells to whatever I happen to be certified in.
