Paid Media Account Manager

Digital Tonic are working with an award-winning paid media agency as they look to appoint a Paid Media Specialist. This is a brilliant opportunity to join a close-knit team that combines paid media expertise with advanced measurement to help brands make smarter, evidence-led marketing decisions.

The Role

As Paid Media Specialist, you’ll take ownership of campaigns across Google Ads, Meta Ads and other relevant platforms, working with a varied portfolio of clients ranging from ambitious start-ups through to established brands.

You’ll be responsible for the ongoing management and optimisation of your accounts, translating each client’s commercial objectives into effective paid media strategies. You’ll analyse performance, identify opportunities for improvement and ensure budgets are being invested in the areas most likely to produce meaningful results.

Alongside platform data, you’ll use the agency’s custom media mix modelling solution to develop a clearer picture of campaign impact and provide clients with practical, unbiased insights. This will give you exposure to a more sophisticated approach to measurement, particularly as traditional tracking and attribution become increasingly challenging within a privacy-first digital landscape.

This is also a genuinely client-facing position. You’ll build strong relationships with your clients, take the time to understand their goals and communicate performance and recommendations in a clear and confident way. You’ll work closely with the wider team to share ideas, solve problems and continually improve campaign performance.

The agency places a strong emphasis on learning and development, so you’ll have the opportunity to broaden your platform knowledge, develop your strategic and analytical abilities and contribute any additional skills or experience that could add value to the business.
