Junior Campaign & Paid Media Executive — Video Games, London
Player Found is a specialist influencer marketing agency working with video game publishers and entertainment brands globally. We deliver creator-led campaigns that prioritise authentic engagement, supported by structured campaign operations, data, reporting, and clear client communication. As we continue to grow, we are also expanding into paid retargeting, particularly through Google Ads, to help publishers reach and re-engage relevant gaming audiences more effectively.
We’re hiring a Junior Campaign & Paid Media Executive to join our Campaigns Team. This is a hands-on junior role for someone early in their career who is interested in gaming, creators, online communities, and paid digital marketing.
You’ll support the delivery of organic creator-led campaigns while also helping us develop and manage paid retargeting activity. You do not need to be a senior paid media specialist, but some exposure to Google Ads, paid retargeting, paid social, or agency-side digital marketing would be highly valuable.
This role would suit someone who has started gaining experience in paid media, ideally in an agency environment, and wants to grow into broader marketing campaign work within the video games industry.
What You’ll Do
You’ll support both our organic creator campaigns and our growing paid retargeting work.
Organic Campaign Delivery (Training Provided)
- Build and manage creator and influencer lists for gaming campaigns.
- Research gaming creators, particularly within the indie gaming market.
- Draft creator outreach copy, follow-up emails, and campaign communications.
- Schedule and monitor email outreach.
- Track creator responses, campaign progress, and key deliverables.
- Keep campaign information, timelines, briefs, links, and assets organized.
- Support campaign updates, reporting, and client communication.
- Work closely with internal teams to deliver campaigns accurately and efficiently.
- Build a strong understanding of client needs, campaign goals, and success metrics.
