ABOUT ME

A performance marketer who builds.

I'm Marcel Jendrusch, a performance marketing manager who got tired of waiting for tools that think like a media buyer. So I built one. I run paid growth across Meta, TikTok, Google and Apple Search Ads, and I treat ads and funnel as a single system. Adscalr is the AI ad-intelligence platform I designed, coded and shipped solo in three months.

HOW I WORK

Ads and funnel are one system.

Most teams optimize the ad and the landing page in separate silos. I don't. Every decision (hook, audience, budget, page, retention) gets measured against payback, not vanity metrics. That full-funnel view is exactly what I encoded into Adscalr: a closed loop that analyzes, generates, measures and learns.

FEATURED PROJECT

Adscalr, built solo, in three months.

A complete AI toolkit for performance marketing, built on Claude with custom agents. Not a wrapper. A closed-loop learning system.

  • Automated competitor analysis across Meta, TikTok & Google, surfacing winning angles, pain points and creative patterns
  • Data-driven creative concepts, UGC scripts and storyboards grounded in proven market mechanics
  • ML-assisted budget allocation, fatigue detection and statistical validation (Bayesian shrinkage)
  • 11 Guardian Skills that auto-review every output for statistical accuracy, strategic coherence and cost
  • Full dashboard: competitor intelligence, ad-performance tracking and a creative workshop
