Digital Marketing Paid Media Strategist

The Paid Media Strategist serves as the subject matter expert and strategic owner of paid media

performance across a portfolio of clients. This role is primarily focused on Paid Search and Paid Social

Advertising and may also involve Programmatic Display and other third-party platforms.

The Strategist is responsible for translating client business objectives into paid media strategy,

independently diagnosing performance, developing and optimizing campaigns, establishing testing

roadmaps, and identifying opportunities for growth both within and across channels.

Successful candidates will combine deep hands-on platform expertise with broader strategic

a strategy developed by someone else.
