  • Creating performance reports on paid ads campaigns for key metrics like conversions, customer acquisition costs, revenue, and lifetime value of customers brought in from paid channels
  • Constantly looking for new opportunities for growth and testing new channels
  • Working alongside our content and design teams to create engaging, on-brand content for ads
