L

Lunar Digital is a young agency but we've grown fast, and that momentum is carrying into 2027 as we search for an intuitive, data-driven Paid Media Executive to join our close-knit team.

We work with a mix of B2C and B2B clients ranging from sports marketing to hospitality, automotive and interior design - backed by a network of trusted external partners who bring specialist expertise wherever we need it.

We're deliberately lean, and that's the point: no red tape, no waiting in line to be heard, and every person's contribution has a real, visible impact on our results. Everyone has a genuine say, with direct access to our MD rather than layers of management in between. We built Lunar Digital to bring together entrepreneurial, ambitious people who want to win and genuinely enjoy the work they do; and we protect a proper work/life balance while we do it.

The Role

As a Paid Media Executive, you will be responsible for managing Paid Search and Paid Social campaigns across a diverse range of clients. You’ll work closely under our Paid Media Specialist to help develop client accounts, proactively identifying opportunities for growth and optimising campaigns to achieve target KPIs.

Location:

Hybrid, with 2 days a week in one of our office locations (Birmingham Jewellery Quarter and Bromsgrove)
