Paid Media Specialist

Company: IMPACT
Location: New Haven
Posted on: May 25, 2023

Job Description:

Note: We do not currently have an immediate opening for this role but we are accepting and reviewing applications as they come in with the assumption that we'll be adding another Paid Media Specialist in the next few months.

As a Paid Media Specialist, you will work collaboratively with a small portfolio of clients and act as their strategist in how to best utilize their paid media budget in conjunction with their in-house marketing initiatives and assets, such as email marketing and SMS. You build the overarching paid media campaign strategy, as well as manage the campaign's day-to-day to ensure every campaign is performing optimally, adjusting as needed.

Our client's ad spend budget ranges from $10k - $100k+ per month and typical ad platforms where we strategize and manage include Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Microsoft, TikTok, Snapchat, Pinterest, AdRoll, Criteo, Amazon, Reddit, and others. While our Paid Media Specialists typically have general knowledge on all major ad platforms, they have a deeper knowledge of one or two. This "T-shape" skillset allows us to operate collaboratively as a team and ensures our clients have the brightest minds on all parts of their accounts.

Does this sound like you?

• You are an A-player looking to join a team of similarly skilled people.
• You are a voracious learner and consistently focus on your personal development.
• You get a rush when big campaigns launch and obsess over the data throughout the duration of the campaign.
• You are comfortable leading calls and talking with clients.
• You are a data nerd and aren't afraid of jumping in to troubleshoot pixel problems and data tech stack questions from clients.
• You read and/or participate in mastermind groups all about paid media daily. You know the industry changes fast and you have to adapt your knowledge constantly to keep up.
• You like to build things from the ground up, and find joining a new team an exciting opportunity to make your mark.
• You seek wisdom in others and enjoy brainstorming with other smart colleagues on the best ideas for your clients.
  Salary Range: $60,000 - $150,000 based on experience.
