Finance Manager - ASOS Media Group London, England
Job description
Our approach to marketing has a few defining characteristics – an obsession with our customers, belief in the power of creativity, an investment mindset, a ‘full funnel’ philosophy, and a belief in evidence-based decisions.
We reach our audience through various means to grow ASOS as a definitive fashion destination for 20-somethings around the world.
As a key part of our end-to-end customer experience management, ASOS marketing covers a breadth of tactics, stretching across loyalty marketing, culturally relevant brand content, pay-for-performance marketing, local trade marketing, broad reach advertising, and influencer marketing to name a few. We utilise several measurement practices, but primarily rely on continual controlled experiments as our primary ‘source of truth’ in measuring marketing investment return.
Our teams and activities align and integrate cross-functionally with shared objectives to manage autonomous teams. And of course, we strive to continually evolve pushing outside industry convention through creative experimentation, marketing tech, and advanced data applications.
