You'll report to the Brand Marketing Lead but also work in lockstep with our Head of Digital Marketing and in-house Performance Marketing Manager. This is a high-impact role requiring a "challenger brand" mentality. You'll be responsible for making every pound of our multi-million pound media budget work harder than the competition through relentless optimisation, sophisticated modeling, and persuasive stakeholder management. ## On a Daily Basis - Strategic Media Ownership: Lead the briefing, planning, and activation of all consumer-facing brand media (TV, VOD, OOH, Audio, etc.). You'll define the brand media strategy that helps Zoopla stand out against competitors and supports revenue growth by driving the right value for our paying customers. - Agency Management: Manage our media agency Zenith to deliver best-in-class planning and execution. You'll also maintain a dotted-line relationship with the Group Head of Media to align agency standards across USwitch and Confused.com. - Integrated Digital Collaboration: Partner closely with the Head of Digital Marketing and the in-house Performance Marketing Manager to consider total media budget phasing as well as brand digital strategy and deployment. - Performance & Measurement: Deliver clear, concise weekly views on performance to the Brand Marketing Lead, VP of Marketing, and wider C-suite. You'll leverage econometrics, media modeling, and brand tracking to prove KPI impact and ROI. - Media Budget Optimisation: Manage and optimise brand media budgets with extreme detail-orientation, ensuring maximum efficiency and best practice tactics for a challenger brand. Hunting opportunities to use AI to make your planning faster, better, more impactful. - Stakeholder Influence: Manage and persuade C-suite stakeholders, translating complex media data into concise, simple but compelling narratives that drive business decisions. ## Who You Are - A proven track record (8+ years) building brand marketing, media, and campaign efforts, ideally for another marketplace or technology brand. - A strong knowledge of growing brands through media. You have confidence and experience in owning media direction and execution through a full breadth of brand channel and media partnerships. - ROI-minded, using data and measurement to inform and justify every pound to spend.
