• Do you want to develop your channel expertise to include new channels such as Weibo, Wechat & Tencent adding another string to your media bow? Kickstarting international campaigns & working in new media markets is a key part of the role – training will be provided in these areas.

The day-to-day:

• Plan, write and launch paid media campaigns that perform & provide the results.
• Providing a consistent output of campaign builds, analysis and thinking outside the box to drive high levels of innovation.
• Disciplined daily management of all paid media campaigns.
• Tracking digital KPI’s to measure campaign performance.
• Maintaining our strong relationships with Google & Facebook.
• Produce detailed and accurate client reports and competitor analysis.
• Demonstrate a strong understanding of clients’ accounts to identify trends or issues to raise them with the wider team.
• Be responsible for time keeping and ensuring in-house budgeting and time management software is updated daily.
• Optimise and improve client’s advertising campaigns using the agency’s market-leading technologies.
• Support the Digital Director with research, insight and support around data that lead to effective cross-channel media strategies and tactics.

What we need from you:

• Good technical knowledge of Paid Search & Social, at a minimum Google Ads & Facebook Ads.
• Passionate about media & marketing (like us!).
• Strong work ethic.
• Highly analytical and data driven.
• Strong excel skills.
• Team player, who works well internally and across multiple teams.
• Ability to analyse data and identify trends in customer behaviour.

The benefits:
