You’ll develop platform strategies, create engaging content plans, manage client accounts, write compelling copy, analyse campaign performance and continually look for ways to improve results.

• Exploring AI tools and emerging technologies to improve campaign delivery and efficiency
• Building trusted client relationships through excellent communication and strategic thinking
