Campaign Manager

Marketing campaigns are organised efforts to promote an overall brand or specific product. Campaigns can come in many forms and are built by research, planning, and having a clear target audience.

Campaign Manager are behind the scenes, creating fresh initiatives, measuring results, and developing new strategies to promote the business. You will draw upon your marketing experience to create coherent steps and targets for your team to follow, so communication skills and the ability to delegate is key.

Campaigns don’t always adhere to a set template, so be prepared for some rule-breaking and outside-the-box type of thinking.
