Campaign Alignment

• Ensure tracking requirements are considered throughout campaign planning and activation.
• Support testing and validation of campaign-specific tracking implementations.

Client & Internal Communication

• Investigate and communicate data discrepancies clearly and confidently.
• Build trust and confidence in measurement approaches through clear reporting and recommendations.
• Previous agency experience working across multiple client websites and platforms.

• Experience implementing conversion tracking across:
• Google Ads
• Google Display & Video 360
