Brafton is one of the world's leading content marketing firms, with offices in Boston, London, Toronto, and Sydney. We aspire to continually raise the bar on what people consider "marketing content." We create result-focused strategies and content to drive SEO, social engagement, and leads for our clients. Our teams continuously build expertise across new media formats, including video, blogs, infographics, and web design.
This is a remote, casual freelance opportunity. Location doesn't matter, but priority will be given to candidates near the GMT time zone.
Core Competencies

- Proven experience managing Google Ads campaigns, including Search, Performance Max, and Display. Ideally for B2B clients.
- Experience with local keyword research tools and methods relevant to the Japanese market (beyond Google Translate or automated translation tools).
- Strong ability to analyze search term reports and keyword data in Japanese to inform optimizations and negative keyword lists.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Strategic & Analytical Capabilities
- Ability to provide strategic recommendations on targeting, ad structure, and messaging for Japanese campaigns.
- Familiarity with regional performance reporting - able to prepare insights and metrics that roll up to a global PPC framework (e.g., separate but aligned reporting for Japan).
