Description

• Planning, building and optimising recruitment campaigns across Google Ads, Meta and LinkedIn, with exposure to Microsoft Advertising, TikTok, Snapchat, Reddit, Indeed, Appcast and Acast depending on the client.
• Working to client briefs and deadlines, and building clear, insight-led reporting that goes beyond the numbers to the "so what".
