Senior Social Advertising Specialist | Ambitious Media Agency

As a Senior Social Specialist, you are the subject-matter expert in social advertising. You combine strategy with execution and are an important sparring partner for clients.You start with the briefing. What does the client want to achieve? Which audience do you want to reach? Which platforms and formats are the right fit? And how do you ensure that campaigns not only run smoothly, but actually deliver results?

You are not only involved strategically, but also remain hands-on throughout campaign execution and optimisation.

Your responsibilities include:

• Translating client briefings into strategic and tactical social plans
• Advising clients on social media, advertising and the latest developments
• Developing, setting up, managing and optimising social advertising campaigns
• Working with platforms such as Meta, TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat and Pinterest
• Analysing campaign performance and translating data into concrete optimisation opportunities
• Coordinating between clients, creative partners and internal specialists
• Reporting on results and proactively advising on next steps
• Spotting growth opportunities within existing clients and pursuing these together with the client team
• Sharing knowledge and acting as a subject-matter mentor for less experienced colleagues
