You will be responsible for consulting on, and implementing, MarTech strategies to maximise campaign performance and steer our clients through an ever-evolving digital ecosystem. You will work closely with other disciplines and practices within the agency, and third parties with whom we partner.

With the MarTech ecosystem covering so many aspects of digital advertising, the role will cover multiple technologies and you will be expected to understand the principles of media planning, activation, and campaign analysis. The MarTech Associate Director will consult both internally and externally on the use of MarTech on day-to-day campaigns, as well as longer term strategic projects.

• Updating senior stakeholders on project progress and building case studies to demonstrate the value our Data & Tech practice drives for clients.
• Contribute to agency POVs on the latest MarTech developments and industry trends.
• Identify gaps and limitations across client MarTech stacks.
• Assess new tools and features within the MarTech landscape, leading the testing of different products – including mobile measurement partners (MMPs), verification and attention partners, data clean rooms, CDPs and tag managements solutions
• Implementing, or consulting on the implementation of MarTech on your allocated client/s

Required skills & experience

• Previous professional experience in a technical consultation, implementation, or strategic role, preferably within a media agency working on large and complex client accounts.
• Hands-on knowledge of MarTech platforms and advertising tracking technologies, in particular Google or Adobe Analytics, Google Marketing Platform (CM360, DV360 and SA360), tag management solutions such as GTM or Tealium, and mobile measurement partners (AppsFlyer, Kochava, Branch or similar)
• Intermediate Excel skills
• A passion for all things digital, including a good understanding of industry trends, including privacy updates across web and app environments
• A strong work ethic: able to work under pressure, meet deadlines and deliver results
• Fine-tuned communication, presentation, and influencing skills; with an ability to think creatively and present in a manner that inspires and excites.
• A team player who strives to see the best in people and contribute to the team and agency culture.

Desired skills and experience
