JOB TITLE – Digital Media Executive in London

As a Digital Media Executive you’ll support the Digital Media Manager in planning, launching and fine-tuning high-performing paid-media campaigns. Most of your time (≈ 55 %) will be on paid social, with the remaining (≈ 45 %) on paid search and programmatic display. Day-to-day you will:

• Build and optimise campaigns across Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Google Ads and DSPs, keeping a strict focus on conversion objectives and budget pacing.
• Monitor performance and surface insights —pull platform data, spot trends, and recommend quick tactical tweaks (audiences, creatives, bids, budgets) that lift results.
• Prepare clear, client-ready reports , translating numbers into plain-English stories and next-step recommendations.
• Experiment with emerging tactics such as value-based bidding, broad-match search + smart creatives, and automated programmatic buying, sharing learnings with the wider team.
• Contribute to team processes —help document workflows, test new tools, and suggest ways to work smarter alongside the Digital Media Manager and Digital Director.

You’ll be trusted to own your channel tasks end-to-end while having senior guidance on tap, making this the perfect step for someone eager to deepen their performance-media craft and grow into a future manager role.
