Strategic Digital Marketing Consultant - Bolton | Hybrid (2 days a week in the office)
£35,000 to £40,000 + flexible working
Are you a paid search specialist who wants more than just running campaigns? This is a chance to own the strategy, sit in front of clients and prove the commercial value of what you deliver.
I'm working with an established B2B digital agency with a strong reputation for joined-up marketing, web and CRM work. Their client base spans service, manufacturing and professional businesses across the North West and the wider UK, and they're looking for a Digital hands-on marketing consultant to take ownership of a portfolio of accounts.
What you'll be doing
- You'll shape and deliver digital strategy for B2B clients, with Google Ads and Microsoft Ads at the heart of the role.
- That means planning, building and optimising campaigns, managing budgets, bidding, targeting and ad copy, and constantly pushing for better conversion rates, lower cost per lead and stronger lead quality.
- You'll use GA4, Google Tag Manager and platform data to measure what's really working, contribute to SEO strategy, run LinkedIn and Meta campaigns where they make sense, and review landing pages and customer journeys to find conversion wins.
- Crucially, you'll lead client meetings and explain results in plain commercial language, not marketing jargon.
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.
