This role is a hybrid role, after a successful probation period with 1-2 days in

Looking to start a career in Online Advertising? Our client is looking for an
analytic fanatic with a creative spark to join their team of specialists in the
heart of Bicester.

Your role will primarily involve working directly with our clients PPC delivery
team to help us setup and manage awesome paid advertising campaigns
across the Google and Microsoft channels (including Search, Shopping, and
Display Campaigns), and via paid social channels such
as Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.

This role will involve a lot of performance analysis of the campaigns our
client is running for customers whose businesses span a wide variety of
different industry sectors. One minute you might be working with an
electronics brand, the next maybe an industrial B2B type. The diversity of
work means you’ll rarely have a dull day. You’ll then get to implement the
changes decided following on from the analysis helping to keep the
campaigns nice and optimised.

You’ll help to launch new campaigns which involves performing keyword
and audience research, and then setting up new campaigns and building
ads. As your knowledge and experience grows you will also have the
opportunity to manage your own accounts, and will become the main point
of contact for a number of customers.

While the role is largely campaign and client management, there will be
opportunities to get stuck in and help the wider business. Internal
marketing, business development, and planning are all responsibilities that
can be shared if this is something you have an interest in.

The Individual

We didn’t just say “analytic fanatic” because it sounded good (well, maybe a
little); being comfortable around large volumes of data is a must for this role.
We don’t need you to be an Einstein-level maths whizz, but a strong
numerical base is crucial. In addition, you’ll also be comfortable analysing
the data from campaigns and be able to weave this into narratives that our
clients customers will not only understand but appreciate.

You need to be comfortable dealing with people, and have the ability and
confidence to clearly present information both internally and externally via a
number of different mediums, whether it’s written or verbal. Passion,
ambition and curiosity are all great traits in any candidate as they
demonstrate your ability to be a good team player who will contribute to
our clients ongoing success.

About the company

Our client is more than just a team of PPC specialists, they are constantly
looking to expand their knowledge, always looking to improve using the
latest innovations. They like to think of themselves as a fun lot – they have a
strong sense of team, embrace unique personalities and celebrate the
things that make each person different. This is a mentality we’ll be looking
for you to share.

What’s In It For You?

As our client progresses and develops as a company, you will too. They are
committed to ensuring that you’re constantly learning new skills, being
challenged while also feeling valued and supported. They will develop a
training programme tailored specifically to help you get up to speed with
what they do, learn how everything works, and pass your Google exams
while ensuring that your strengths and passions are being nurtured.

They are an "anti-agency" agency, as strange as that may sound. While they
are a modern team who offer flexibility, they try to avoid at all costs the
superficial vibes that so many agencies shoot for. So if you like the idea of
working in digital marketing, rather than the reality of working in digital
marketing, this position won’t be for you.

But if you have a desire to become really good (and by that we mean, really
really good) at an aspect of digital marketing that isn’t going
anywhere anytime soon, we’d love to hear from you.

About the company

Our client is just starting a new chapter in our agency, having recently
moved into a brand new office space in the heart of one
of Oxfordshire’s finest business communities. The space has been designed
to maximise productivity, and is a beautiful space to work. It’s also based in
the centre of town where we have many shops and restaurants on our

doorstep – fancy a Nando’s lunch? You got it! Got a coffee craving? Costa is
just around the corner!

Their friendly atmosphere, coupled with our resident office dog, Nala makes
our client a forward-thinking, relaxed company that doesn’t try too hard to
be trendy. Flexi-time and the ability to work from home are central to our
culture. Most importantly, we value a great work-life balance above all.
