Desired Skills & Responsibilities

We’re looking for a strategically minded, hands-on Media Strategist who lives at the intersection of data, creativity, and business impact. This fully remote role is ideal for someone who understands not just how to execute campaigns - but why certain channels, tactics, and investment levels should be recommended.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys owning both the strategy and the execution - building the plan, activating campaigns in-platform, and continuously optimizing performance.

You’ll develop and execute full-funnel media strategies across SEM, Paid Social, and Programmatic, balancing performance and brand objectives based on business needs. You’re as comfortable optimizing campaigns in-platform as you are presenting strategic recommendations and defending your POV with clients.

You don’t just report on results - you interpret them, identify opportunities, and push for smarter next steps.

If you’re curious, analytical, forward-thinking, and love turning data into meaningful stories, we’d love to meet you.

What you'll be doing all day:

Digital Strategy & Planning

  • Develop full-funnel media strategies aligned with client business objectives, including awareness, acquisition, retention, and revenue growth.
  • Plan and activate across digital channels including Search, Paid Social, and Programmatic (including DV360).
  • Recommend the right balance of brand-building and performance-driven media investments, clearly articulating trade-offs and long-term impact.
  • Define KPIs and measurement frameworks that connect media performance to business outcomes.
  • Bring proactive ideas and strategic recommendations that help clients scale.

Execution & Optimization (Hands-On)

  • Launch, manage, and optimize campaigns across Google Ads, Meta, DV360, and other relevant platforms.
  • Continuously refine targeting, bidding strategies, creative testing, and audience segmentation.
  • Monitor budgets, pacing, and campaign delivery to ensure financial accuracy and performance alignment.
  • Collaborate with internal and client teams to ensure campaign integrity and tracking accuracy.

Measurement & Technical Implementation

  • Implement and QA site tagging, pixels, and conversion tracking (Google Tag Manager experience preferred).
  • Analyze campaign performance using GA4, Adobe Analytics, and platform reporting tools.
  • Translate performance data into clear insights and actionable recommendations that tie back to business outcomes.

AI & Emerging Tools

  • Demonstrate curiosity and working knowledge of AI-powered tools used in marketing and media.
  • Incorporate AI into research, campaign analysis, and workflow efficiencies while applying critical thinking to ensure outputs support sound media strategy.

Client Leadership & Communication

  • Build trusted relationships with clients and lead performance discussions as a strategic advisor.
  • Present strategies, insights, and optimization recommendations clearly and confidently.
  • Simplify complex media concepts into clear, business-focused recommendations.
  • Support new business development through participation in pitches and strategic proposals.

Collaboration & Team Contribution

  • Partner cross-functionally with creative, analytics, finance, and account teams to deliver integrated campaigns.
  • Support and mentor team members while contributing to a collaborative team culture.
  • Share ideas that improve how we work, not just what we deliver.
  • Stay current with emerging trends and bring new opportunities to clients.

A Little About You:

You’re passionate about digital media and motivated by the role it plays in driving real business results. You combine strong strategic thinking with hands-on execution and are comfortable navigating both the day-to-day mechanics of campaign management and the bigger-picture strategy behind it.
