About

Hey, I'm Francesco!

My journey in digital advertising began in 2006 when I placed my first Google Ads campaign. Since then, I've accumulated extensive experience managing over 40,000 campaigns across various platforms, serving businesses of all sizes and budgets.

I'm currently the CTO at NANOS AI and a father of 2 beautiful girls with a boy coming soon.

Throughout my career, I've owned and operated 2 successful agencies, led 3 startups to successful exits, built innovative technology integrating with Google and Meta platforms, and secured a patent in AI-driven marketing automation (with a second one pending).

AdsForMakers is about sharing my knowledge and experience to help others navigate the complex world of digital advertising, whether you're a maker, indiehacker, or solopreneur.

Have hacked around with meta ads for a few years for my consulting course - mostly has gone well but finally know what I'm doing after a few sessions with Francesco - world class coaching here.

Hassan Osman

If you're a builder, book time with Francesco. He navigated me through the monstrosity called Google Ads UI. But more importantly, he has a natural instinct for spotting marketing problems. And won't hesitate to give you a clear, objective assessment of your strategy!

David Nix

Builder

Francesco's expertise in ecommerce and digital marketing has been invaluable. He helped us scale multiple ecommerce businesses with his strategic approach to growth. His ability to identify opportunities and solve complex challenges made a real difference in our success.

Stefano Ramponi

CEO, LipsiaGroup

Francesco helped me take my personal training business to the next level. I was not sure about how to run ads, what kind of images or videos to use and even the general strategy. But he empowered me and gave me the confidence to take decisions. Invaluable.

Owen Schoeman

Professional Personal Trainer

You know what's amazing about Francesco? He doesn't just know the ins and outs of ad platforms - he's actually been in the trenches making them work. When he explains things, it clicks. He takes all these complicated tech concepts and breaks them down into real steps you can actually use. That's pretty rare to find.

Sasha Schriber

Disney Research

Working with Francesco has been fantastic because he did not help me only with understanding Ads, but also how to look up what my competitors are doing, plus set up technical aspects such as tracking and Google Analytics.

Filipe Miranda

Instagram Entrepreneur

I had never run a FB ads campaign, working with Francesco meant that instead of spending hours figuring out what each option in the ads console meant, or how attribution should work, I could focus on actually launching quickly and effectively.

Fernando Torres

FBA and E-comm Expert

I have discussed both Google AdWords and Meta Ads with Francesco and his expertise has been very valuable for my business. I like that he gave me advice on my entire sales funnel, not just ads alone. He is providing information that comes from his own work & tests and that feels pretty good when there is so much bad information out there.
