🌿 Senior Paid Ads Implementer — AI-Ready, Human-Led Marketing for Tourism Visionaries

Eco Africa Digital | Stellenbosch | Hybrid

About Us

Eco Africa Digital is an award-winning performance-driven marketing agency based in Stellenbosch, serving Africa’s luxury hospitality and tourism brands.

We blend AI-first precision with human-led storytelling to drive direct bookings and measurable growth for the continent’s most visionary lodges, hotels, and conservation-driven destinations.

We’re not just another agency — we’re a movement to future-proof tourism through intelligence, integrity, and inspired collaboration.

The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Paid Ads Implementer — a grounded, reliable strategist who brings order to complexity and focus to flow.

This role is ideal for someone who finds joy in optimizing systems, managing data with clarity, and executing campaigns that make an impact — while aligning with a visionary leader who moves fast and dreams big.

You’ll own the setup, management, and optimization of high-performing campaigns across Google, Meta, TikTok and related platforms. You’ll translate data into insight, and strategy into tangible bookings.

What You’ll Do

• Design, implement, and optimize paid advertising campaigns across Google Ads, YouTube, Meta, TikTok, and display networks.
• Create and manage tracking and analytics (GTM, GA4, UTM links) to deliver actionable data.
• Collaborate with our creative and strategy teams to align ad performance with storytelling goals.
• Create and interpret KPI dashboards, improving ROI through testing and iteration.
• Support automation setup (e.g. Mailchimp sequences, CRM triggers).
• Report with transparency and clarity — bringing calm accountability to every cycle.

What We’re Looking For

• Implementer energy: steady, focused, and self-managing. You bring structure where others bring chaos.
• Experience: Minimum 5 years in an agency role focused on Paid Ads or Performance Marketing.
• Technical confidence: Google Ads Certified; advanced in GTM, Analytics, and campaign optimization.
• Clarity and communication: You speak data and strategy fluently, without fluff.
• Commitment: You’ve stayed the course before. You value stability, systems, and mastery over hype.
• Passion: You care deeply about travel, nature, and Africa’s story.

Why Join Us

• Work directly with visionary tourism brands across Africa.
• Be part of a small, high-calibre team at the forefront of AI-powered marketing.
• Hybrid role — 2 days at our creative space in The LaunchLab, Stellenbosch; 3 remote days for deep work.
• Biannual performance bonuses.
• Salary: R35,000–R43,000 (negotiable based on skill and experience).
• Grow within an agency that honours excellence, calm execution, and long-term contribution.
