B2B Paid Media Account Manager

About Gripped

We’re a Digital Marketing Agency for B2B SaaS, technology & IT companies. Using a combination of paid media, strategy and market understanding, we help our customers differentiate before their competitors get out of bed

The Role

This role has a particular focus on both Paid Social (LinkedIn) and Paid Search (Google, Bing) campaign management. As such, this role demands excellent knowledge of those platforms, good copywriting & analytical skills, as well as a keen eye for detail, problem-solving and organisation.

This is a fantastic opportunity to gain responsibility and autonomy that would normally take far longer to gain in other agencies. This role would be an excellent choice for someone early in their career who is looking to rapidly gain more exposure, knowledge and experience.

• Engage with other specialists in the business where necessary to optimise campaign performance.
• Understand how to interpret and understand tracking and analysis tools (i.e Google Analytics).
• Write monthly reporting commentary to summarise the performance and insights of client campaigns as well as pick out opportunities for the coming month.
• Produce post-campaign analysis that examines campaign results and creates actionable insights to feed into future campaigns.
• Understand how to interpret and understand tracking and analysis tools such as LinkedIn and Google Analytics, and how to set up goals, conversion paths and attribution windows.
• An open mind to learning more, understanding developments in paid advertising technology and automation, and using that knowledge to help Gripped improve campaign delivery and grow.
