Paid Media Jobs

As a paid media specialists, you’ll be familiar with the latest going’s on within performance max and Google Shopping, but maybe its time to take your career to the next level by moving to a new Paid Media Job opportunity, within a Performance Marketing Agency or Retail & Ecommerce Brand. Well, Motive as a Paid Media Recruitment specialist, are well placed to help you make that upgrade and start a new employer adventure.

Paid Media job overview

Since the inception of Google and its commoditisation of the search landscape, online advertsing as a media outlet is fully focused on user intent. But over the years paid media has expanded to include not just Google search, but shopping, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest and more. As such, a career in paid media can be hugely varied and rewarding, as the medium is continually rolling out new platform tools, such as performance max or value based bidding strategies.

A Paid Media job within an agency environment can be extremely fast paced where the demands of running multiple client camapigns requires continual interaction with not only the ad platforms themselves, but also clients, ensuring a cohesive working team that is aligned to their strategy.

Alternatively, working within a Retail & Ecommerce brand presents the opportunity to get deeper into the data and performance detail, with usual exposer to significant monthly budgets, especially when international reach is a requirement.

No two roles within paid media are the same, and a career in this niche area, even with the expansion of AI and automated bidding tools, is set for continued expansion in the years ahead.
