A Media Operator

Founder · Jacob Cohen Donnelly

Stood up a full qualified-lead funnel for a cold, hard-to-reach B2B audience.

A B2B newsletter for media-company operators, a cold, niche audience most advertisers can't crack. Built the qualification funnel from scratch and cracked it anyway.

The brief

A Media Operator is a B2B newsletter for media-company operators, a cold, niche, hard-to-target audience. I ran kickoff and built a full qualified-lead funnel from scratch, then cracked an audience most advertisers can't.

What I did

  • Authored ICP/persona strategy (legacy vs niche B2B media operators) and meeting recaps.
  • Built the qualification funnel end-to-end: Typeform logic, Beehiiv signup flow, disqualification routing, and a separate Events Operator flow.
  • Introduced a cost-per-qualified-lead framework combining Meta + Typeform + Beehiiv quality data.
  • Handled a client data-integrity issue and shipped an ad-guidelines doc + client funnel dashboard.

What I own here

The full loop, not a slice of it. On this account I run:

  1. 01 Creative strategy & execution
  2. 02 Media buying
  3. 03 Funnel performance & analysis
  4. 04 Client-facing meetings
  5. 05 Weekly reports
  6. 06 Biweekly analysis & reports
