• Allocate investments based on performance insights and evolving marketing priorities.

Analytics & Reporting

• Measure campaign performance across awareness, research, and conversion KPIs.

• Utilize GA4 and other analytics tools to evaluate campaign effectiveness, attribution, and audience behavior.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Provide media insights that inform creative development and messaging strategies.
• Collaborate with platform representatives to stay informed on product updates, beta opportunities, and best practices.

Industry Trends & Innovation

• Hands-on experience building and optimizing campaigns within platforms such as YouTube, Amazon Ads, Connected TV, DV360, or similar video advertising platforms.
• Strong understanding of full-funnel marketing strategy and measurement.
• Experience using GA4, Looker, Excel, or other analytics and reporting tools.
