Benedikt Rapp

I manage around $60M in Meta ad spend per year and scale e-commerce brands in Europe and the US. I grew my own brand to about €10M in revenue and sold it to a financial investor. I took a mattress brand's online shop from zero to about 3M in revenue in one year, and deployed $12M in Meta spend in nine weeks for a US telehealth brand, competing head-to-head with other advertisers. I build the systems I run all of this on myself.
