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.

ads. As your knowledge and experience grows you will also have the
opportunity to manage your own accounts, and will become the main point

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.

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,
demonstrate your ability to be a good team player who will contribute to
our clients ongoing success.

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 dev
