• Collaborate with tech and analytics teams for advanced audience segmentation and tagging.
• Develop and refine segmentation and remarketing strategies to reach high-intent users, maximising retention and lifetime value.
• Work closely with creative teams to translate data insights into effective new assets, aligning creative development with performance data.
• Regularly monitor and report on KPIs, providing actionable insights and recommendations to stakeholders to optimise and achieve campaign goals.
• Stay current on industry trends, platform updates, and innovations, maintaining expertise in display platforms like Google to continuously improve campaign performance
