  • Collaborating. Work closely with the marketing and creative teams to execute cohesive campaigns that reflect the company’s vision.
  • Innovation. Stay ahead of trends in the PPC space, test new betas and strategies, and bring proactive ideas to the table to keep clients ahead of the competition.
  • Client-Facing Communication. Clearly communicate results, insights, and strategy updates to internal and external stakeholders.
  • Designing content. Collaborate with graphic design and content creation teams to produce high-quality digital content that aligns with user experience goals.
  • Monitoring market trends. Stay updated on digital marketing trends and tools to ensure strategies remain innovative and competitive in the ever-evolving digital landscape.
  • Landing Page Feedback. Work with designers and CRO specialists to ensure landing pages are optimized for paid traffic.
