Paid media is a critical component to growing brand awareness fast. With cross-channel marketing blurring the lines between paid, earned, and owned media, there are more opportunities than ever for digital advertising to serve as the engine room that powers your brand machine. Paid social platforms are perfect for B2B advertising that can target a specific sub-audience, offer great conversion tracking and behavioral metrics, and can be used for everything from brand awareness and lead generation to recruitment.
We’re seeing a growing demand from our clients to launch and expand their paid media in a cost-effective way, and we’re growing our team to match that demand. That’s why we embarked on a search for an associate director of paid media with a proven track record of leading successful paid media campaigns on almost every digital advertising platform. This would give us deep expertise in paid media across: Facebook, Google Search, Display, Shopping, YouTube, LinkedIn, Microsoft Bing, Quora, Reddit, Stack Overflow, Twitter, and even print publications. Is that so much to ask for?
Welcome aboard!
