At NewsNow, the marketing team is also responsible for running and evaluating the performance of our programmatic advertising operation, and you will be expected to play a role in this.

A demonstrable understanding of how to use online and offline marketing channels, as well as popular marketing platforms, to help us achieve our objectives. For example, SEO, PPC, social media, email, print advertising, and events.
Skills to analyse, evaluate and report on marketing and other activity to help stakeholders make informed decisions.
A creative flair and experience using popular design tools, such as Figma, Photoshop and InDesign.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills and experience in producing marketing copy.
Experience assisting with, or creating, data-informed audience profiles and turning them into buyable audiences.
A keen eye for detail.
A keen appreciation for NewsNow's drive to help make news serve people better by supporting and promoting credible, independent and public interest journalism, and in turn, news media plurality.
In addition, a working knowledge of, or a desire to learn, the programmatic ecosystem (such as Google Ad Manager and SSPs) would be nice to have.
