  • Analyse campaign data to identify opportunities for improvement, and proactively share optimisation recommendations with the Campaign Manager.
  • Deliver clear, insightful reporting outlining performance results, learnings, and strategic takeaways.
  • Act as the advertising point of contact, confidently answering questions and guiding both internal teams and clients where necessary.

Stay ahead of platform updates and trends, proposing new ideas, tests, and approaches that can elevate campaign performance.
