• Contribute paid media strategy and learning agendas to new business pitches and proposals.

Campaign Management & Optimization

• Own paid media campaigns from planning through wrap, partnering with our Paid Media Analyst team to build, launch, and optimize.
• QA campaign builds and reporting so every launch is accurate, on-brief, and set up to succeed.
• Use real-time performance data and ongoing testing to optimize toward client KPIs, uncovering which creators, content, and messages drive results.
