About the Role
Story is looking for an experienced paid media strategist to lead planning, execution and optimization across client campaigns, while helping us navigate the changing digital advertising landscape. This role combines strategic thinking with direct campaign execution, working closely with internal teams, client marketing teams, and external partners.
Responsibilities
- Translate client objectives into audience strategies, channel recommendations, budgets and measurable goals.
- Plan across paid social, search, video, professional networks, retail and commerce media, contextual advertising and emerging platforms.
- Evaluate opportunities across platforms such as LinkedIn, Reddit, TikTok, Amazon and Uber, alongside emerging AI advertising environments.
- Stay current on platform launches, targeting changes, privacy developments, measurement capabilities and shifts in audience behavior.
- Assess new opportunities against audience fit, buying access, minimum investment, creative requirements and measurement potential.
- Build focused test plans with clear criteria for scaling, adjusting or stopping investment.
- Build, launch and optimize campaigns directly, with deep expertise in Meta and Google Ads and demonstrated execution across additional platforms, including LinkedIn.
- Manage budgets, pacing, bidding, placements and campaign quality.
- Coordinate with platform representatives and specialist partners where campaigns require managed buying or additional expertise.
- Audit account setup, tracking and landing pages before launch.
- Apply current platform policies and data requirements.
- Partner with Story’s creative team to develop ideas and assets suited to each channel.
- Translate audience insights and performance findings into actionable creative briefs.
- Lead structured tests across messaging, formats, audiences and landing pages.
- Bring proactive recommendations for new placements, partnerships and advertising experiences.
- Define success metrics tied to each client’s business objectives.
- Implement or coordinate tracking, analytics and relevant CRM integrations.
- Evaluate results beyond platform reporting and communicate attribution limitations clearly.
- Present concise recommendations on performance, learnings and future investment.
- Set realistic expectations around budgets, timing, technical dependencies and results.
Requirements
- Typically five or more years of relevant paid media experience, or equivalent evidence of independently leading successful campaigns.
- Deep practical expertise in Meta and Google Ads, plus strong working experience with LinkedIn and other advertising platforms.
- A track record of identifying, testing and evaluating new channels.
- Experience across brand awareness and acquisition objectives.
- Strong knowledge of analytics, conversion tracking, attribution and experimentation.
- Creative judgment and confidence working directly with clients.
- Curiosity backed by disciplined evaluation: you can explain when a new platform deserves investment and when it doesn’t.
- The ability to execute independently and bring in specialist support when needed.
