This role will own the strategic recommendation elements to help campaigns reach client goals. This role will also take an active role in our pre-sales process and in making initial client recommendations prior to onboarding. The role we play is significant, and we strive to exceed our goals and client expectations while learning, growing, and having fun as a team along the way. About the job: The Senior Paid Search Strategist will focus efforts around four core functions: - Discovery - Implementation - Optimization - Results Leveraging our in-house reporting dashboards, you will identify and select campaigns to review based on shortfalls you see from established client expectations. In other circumstances, cases will come directly to you from our Sales and Brand Management team, soliciting your advice on recommendations to correct campaign performance. Some brands will be existing, while new, large brands will also be folded in as they are closed by our sales team. Our brands today are primarily focused on SEM, and you will work to ensure that this tactic is delivering stellar results across each brand and account within the brand, while helping to partner with colleagues to make strategic recommendations on how to diversify this approach through other advertising platforms. Recommended changes will then be implemented. Whether helping implement the changes directly or delegating tasks to associated client success managers attached to the brands, you will be accountable for ensuring implementation is completed correctly. From there, continuous optimization will occur with consistent reviews that you will conduct leveraging reporting tools to help tell the story to clients. Results will then be shared with internal and external clients.
