ABOUT THE COMPANY & ROLE

We are a performance-focused digital marketing agency working with brands across consumer and regulated product industries, helping clients achieve measurable growth through data-driven digital marketing. The team combines paid media, creative, analytics, search, and compliance to build effective digital campaigns across multiple markets and channels.

Beyond paid media, the ideal candidate will bring some SEO knowledge that can be applied to emerging areas such as Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) and Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO), making this a strong opportunity for someone who wants to help expand the digital marketing function into new channels.
