I'm the co-founder and CEO of Optizads, the AI media buyer and strategist for Google Ads. Before Optizads, I spent 9 years in growth marketing, leading growth for startups in Tunisia, France, the UK and the US.
In 2021 I founded Afef Digital, a growth marketing agency for B2B SaaS, fintech, e-commerce and health brands. We run Google Ads, Meta Ads, CRO, funnels and tracking. Since 2026, the accounts I manage run on Optizads.
Every decision we make starts from data.
We use analytical, cost-effective and creative methods to grow your customer base.
We have 9 years of experience in search and social ads. That covers Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Messenger), Pinterest, TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), Quora and Snapchat. We also market Shopify, WordPress and WooCommerce stores, and automate CRMs like HubSpot, Salesforce, Odoo and Zoho.
