📋 Description

  • As a Senior Digital Marketing Manager specializing in Programmatic Advertising for the FMCG sector, you will be instrumental in shaping the future of media for our clients within WPP Media. This role is pivotal, requiring a blend of strategic vision and hands-on operational expertise to drive impactful programmatic campaigns. You will act as a key influencer, guiding programmatic standards and best practices across the agency, ensuring our clients benefit from the most innovative and effective media strategies available.
  • Your primary responsibility will be the strategic development and meticulous operational execution of programmatic advertising activities for a diverse portfolio of FMCG clients. This involves understanding the unique challenges and opportunities within the fast-paced FMCG market and translating them into actionable programmatic plans.
  • You will collaborate closely with clients to evaluate and identify cutting-edge innovations and technologies that can optimize their programmatic media buying for maximum return on investment. This requires a deep understanding of the evolving programmatic landscape and the ability to articulate complex technical concepts in a clear, client-centric manner.
  • A strong analytical aptitude is essential. You will leverage your data-driven insights to continuously refine and enhance programmatic media buying strategies, ensuring that all campaigns not only meet but significantly exceed defined objectives and key performance indicators (KPIs). This involves rigorous performance tracking, analysis, and optimization.
  • The precise implementation of campaign structures and strategies across various Demand-Side Platforms (DSPs) and associated technologies will fall under your purview. You must possess a thorough understanding of the programmatic ecosystem, including ad exchanges, data management platforms (DMPs), inventory sources, and verification tools.
  • Cultivating and maintaining strong, productive relationships with internal specialist teams (e.g., creative, analytics, client services) and external partners (e.g., technology vendors, publishers) is crucial for success. You will navigate a dynamic, international environment, fostering collaboration and ensuring seamless execution.
  • You will serve as a strategic advisor to clients, clearly articulating the significant advantages of programmatic buying in the context of their overarching marketing and business objectives. This includes educating clients on new opportunities and advocating for best practices.
  • Beyond campaign execution, you will contribute to the agency's thought leadership in programmatic advertising. This may involve developing case studies, participating in industry discussions, and mentoring junior team members.
  • The role demands a proactive approach to staying abreast of the latest trends, algorithms, and platform updates within the programmatic advertising space. Continuous learning and adaptation are key to maintaining a competitive edge for our clients.
  • You will be responsible for preparing comprehensive reports and presentations that clearly communicate campaign performance, insights, and strategic recommendations to clients and internal stakeholders. Proficiency in data visualization and storytelling through tools like Excel and PowerPoint is vital.
  • Embracing the WPP ethos of creative transformation, you will seek innovative solutions that push the boundaries of traditional advertising, leveraging programmatic capabilities to achieve groundbreaking results for FMCG brands.
  • Your role extends to championing diversity and inclusion within the team and in client interactions, reflecting WPP Media's commitment to a culture of respect and belonging.
  • You will actively contribute to the agency's knowledge sharing initiatives, ensuring that best practices and learnings from your programmatic expertise are disseminated throughout the organization.
  • Ultimately, you will be a key driver of growth and success for our clients by delivering highly effective and efficient programmatic advertising strategies that resonate with target audiences in the competitive FMCG market.
