Ilya

Ilya has spent over 15 years in performance marketing — doing everything from SEO to advanced PPC across every major advertising platform. He left a six-figure position as Marketing Director of Paid Search at National Positions, one of the largest and most well-known digital marketing firms in Los Angeles, for one simple reason: client satisfaction.

At large agencies, the focus is on the initial sale and hefty setup fees. After that, clients are handed off to junior account managers who dedicate 2-3 hours per month of mediocre campaign management. Ilya saw this cycle repeat for years and decided to build something different.

He founded Live PPC Ads to provide the level of dedicated, personalized campaign management that big agencies promise but never deliver. Every client gets daily optimization, direct access to senior strategists, and transparent reporting — not because it scales well, but because it produces results.

With a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting, Finance, and Marketing from American InterContinental University, Ilya combines analytical rigor with creative strategy. He personally oversees campaign architecture for every client, managing over $85M in cumulative ad spend that has generated $500M+ in tracked revenue across 2,000+ client engagements.

On Upwork, Ilya holds Top Rated Plus status and is Expert-Vetted — a designation reserved for the top 1% of freelancers on the platform. With a 100% Job Success Score, $1M+ in lifetime earnings, and 700+ completed projects, his track record speaks for itself.
