• Oversee campaign execution and performance, including reporting, analysis, and continuous optimisation.
• Build and maintain strong client relationships, including leading inter-agency collaboration and global coordination.
• Lead and support new business efforts across the agency, including responding to briefs and participating in pitch presentations.
• Manage financial performance, including forecasting, reporting, and scope of work negotiations.
• Stay ahead of industry trends, particularly in digital media, and apply insights to enhance client strategies.
