• Merge social, audience, and campaign data to produce actionable insights for the wider business.

• Translate analytics into easy-to-digest reports, ensuring the team has a clear snapshot of market and audience behaviours.

Collaboration & Growth

• Collaborate across marketing functions to align creative direction with overall business objectives.

• Test, optimise, and refine creative approaches for both organic and paid channels.
