• Advise marketing teams on effective paid social approaches, channel choices, and campaign opportunities.
• Develop ad creative directly and with designers, sharing effective approaches across the broader team.
• Drive innovation by experimenting with new and emerging channels, including AI-driven platforms and creator ecosystems, while keeping the broader social media team updated on the latest paid social and influencer marketing trends.
