Marketing Agency Manager in Peterborough

Trade Digital, a sub-brand of Trade Mastermind, is looking for a commercially minded, technically capable Agency Account Manager to manage the marketing strategy and delivery for a portfolio of trade and construction businesses.

This is not a traditional account management role where you simply pass messages between clients and delivery teams.

You will take ownership of client performance, helping to plan, launch, manage and improve campaigns across Google Ads and Meta.

You will combine strong client communication with hands‑on digital marketing knowledge, coordinating campaigns, creative production, landing pages, tracking and CRM integrations to generate high-quality leads, sales opportunities and measurable return on investment.

The Role

As an Agency Account Manager, you will act as the primary marketing contact for your assigned clients.

You will understand each client’s business, services, target customers, commercial goals and sales process, then develop a clear marketing strategy designed to deliver the strongest possible results.

You will work closely with media buyers, designers, video editors, developers and CRM specialists, while remaining accountable for the overall direction, quality and performance of each account.

You will regularly communicate results, explain recommendations clearly and proactively identify opportunities to improve campaigns, landing pages, lead handling and conversion rates.

• Create strong page structures using compelling offers, proof, testimonials, clear calls to action and low‑friction forms.
• Review landing page data and user behaviour to identify areas for improvement.
• Test different headlines, offers, layouts, forms, calls to action and trust elements.
• Maintain strong alignment between adverts, keywords, creative messaging and landing page content.
• Improve landing page conversion rates through ongoing testing and optimisation.
