Measurement-first growth strategist with systems thinking
Cher Yuan is a measurement-first growth strategist with 6+ years of experience building and scaling acquisition systems across high-growth consumer businesses. Her work spans SEM, attribution, experimentation, bidding automation, conversion signal architecture, and cross-functional growth operations.
Bidding Automation
- Problem
- Manual bidding decisions created waste and inconsistency.
- System built
- Algorithmic bidding platform with controls and feedback loops.
- Impact
- $6M annual savings.
- Taught me
- Automation works best when judgment is designed into the system.
Incrementality Testing
- Problem
- Platform reporting could not answer true marginal impact.
- System built
- Geo-based testing framework for lift and allocation reads.
- Impact
- Clearer budget decisions across markets and channels.
- Taught me
- Measurement is a decision architecture, not a dashboard.
New Channel Expansion
- Problem
- New channels needed structure before scale.
- System built
- Vendor sourcing, pilot launch, and evaluation playbook.
- Impact
- Faster learning with clearer go / no-go criteria.
- Taught me
- A channel is not real until the operating loop is repeatable.
Creative Testing
- Problem
- Noisy platform signals made creative decisions unclear.
- System built
- Hypothesis-led interpretation across message, audience, and need.
- Impact
- Better alignment between creative learning and business goals.
- Taught me
- Creative is a belief system that can be tested.

AI
Growth work is changing.
As automation takes over repetitive operational work, the highest-value growth work moves toward strategy, experimentation design, systems thinking, creative interpretation, and cross-functional decision-making.
- Manual reporting
- Repetitive campaign maintenance
- Platform-by-platform execution
- Last-click thinking
- AI-enabled workflow design
- Experimentation systems
- Signal architecture
- Creative learning loops
- Cross-channel strategy
- Human judgment at the system level
About Cher
Love Alchemist is an inner world, not a job title.
I call myself a love alchemist because I believe transformation is the deepest form of work: in relationships, in healing, in creativity, and in growth.
My professional work began in performance marketing, but over time it became a study of systems: how signals become decisions, how experiments become strategy, and how structure can create freedom.
