Keep track of which ads are running where, and make sure everything launches smoothly. Work closely with internal teams and external partners to keep things moving.
• Budget & Finance Help: Help update spreadsheets that track campaign budgets and costs. Make sure all purchases are properly recorded and confirmed with the finance team. Support with monthly checks to ensure everything adds up.
• Performance & Reporting: Help gather campaign results so the team can see what worked well. Assist in preparing presentations to share those results with clients. Make sure data is entered correctly and clearly.
• Support with Processes: Help keep templates and documents up to date so that everyone is working consistently. Take notes during meetings and help keep task lists organised.
