- Strategy & Planning: Develop full-funnel paid social strategies tailored to diverse client goals, from brand awareness to direct-response conversions.
- Creative Collaboration: Work closely with design and copy teams to brief in high-converting ad assets. You’ll bring native sports-centric ideas to the table that resonate with die-hard fanbases.
- Testing & Optimization: Run continuous A/B testing on audiences, creatives, landing pages, and bidding strategies.
- Analytics & Reporting: Track performance daily. Build clear, client-facing reports that translate complex metrics (ROAS, CPA, CTR) into actionable business insights.
- Budget Oversight: Safely manage and allocate multi-figure monthly ad spends across various accounts, ensuring zero underspend or overspend.
