I’ve Built Brands, Burned Budgets, and Learned the Hard Way.
15+ years in ecom, strategy, marketing, and transformation — now building smarter with AI. This site is where I share the real stuff.
Howdy! My name is Marv Ortiz. I’ve spent 15+ years helping businesses get their act together — from scaling campaigns to streamlining ops — across e-commerce, enterprise, tech and everything in between.
I run an agency called LeapOut Digital (arguably Manila’s finest), partner with US and global brands, and work with Philippine companies that are done playing small.
I’ve managed over $50M in ad spend, led initiatives that drove $100M+ in revenue, and I still write my own emails. Why? Because the details still matter.
Now, I’m going deep on AI — because the rules are changing. Fast.
This site is my lab, my journal, and my war room.
Expect brutal truths, strategy breakdowns, and punchy insights for marketers, founders, and teams who want to grow — without the BS.
Let’s go.
