Digital Tonic are working with a fast-growing digital-first business in the gaming industry as they look to hire a Paid Media Marketing Executive. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone in the early to middle stages of their career who wants to broaden their performance marketing experience across paid media and affiliates.
The Role
As Paid Media Marketing Executive, you’ll support the delivery of customer acquisition activity across PPC, affiliate marketing and other paid media channels. It’s a varied, hands-on position in which you’ll manage campaigns and partnerships, analyse performance and contribute ideas that help the business acquire customers more efficiently.
- You’ll take responsibility for the day-to-day management of affiliate relationships, including onboarding new partners, supporting commercial conversations and identifying opportunities to improve the quality and return generated by existing partnerships.
- Alongside this, you’ll run and optimise PPC campaigns across Google Ads and other relevant paid platforms, closely monitoring spend, acquisition volumes and overall performance.
- Data will play a central role in the position. You’ll monitor key acquisition metrics, produce performance reports and use your findings to identify trends, highlight growth opportunities and improve campaign efficiency.
- You’ll also help coordinate wider acquisition campaigns, ensuring activity is delivered accurately, on time and in line with agreed commercial objectives.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
