Once that foundation is in place, the role plans, creates, analyses and optimises campaigns end to end, converting commercial objectives into measurable results while bringing creative thinking to campaign concepts, messaging and formats. Operating across retail, e-commerce, B2B and education audiences, the Specialist is the division's in-house expert on paid media performance, tracking and budget efficiency, and holds administrative custody of the division's advertising accounts.ResponsibilitiesAccountabilities● Delivery of the agreed blended ROAS, CPA and cost-per-lead targets by brand and platform.
