Acquisition Marketing Manager (Display)

This is an opportunity to manage user acquisition and millions of dollars of spend for multiple LP digital businesses. This is a full-time position out of our Delray Beach office. Remote may be available for the right team member.

You’ll focus on display -- optimizing existing successful campaigns and developing a comprehensive marketing strategy to acquire new members and traffic. This is not “just” a media buyer role, this is an entrepreneurial position that requires a combined passion for understanding consumers and pushing the boundaries of your responsibilities to help grow the business as a whole.

The ideal candidate has 2+ years of experience actively managing programmatic spend in a performance-driven environment and is highly motivated to see his/her strategies succeed and scale.

WHO WE ARE

Launch Potato is a profitable startup studio that incubates and launches mobile and web companies on our proprietary technology stack.

We’re HQed in Delray Beach, FL, but have an amazing, distributed global team. We believe in building teams who can solve complex problems using smart marketing, great engineering, data science and fun!

Our entire team is very hands-on, including the founders. This role is also hands-on.

THE ROLE - TL;DR

To you, the digital marketplace is a healthy and intriguing challenge, and there is endless opportunity to scale.

You’ll be personally responsible for driving continued optimization of display campaigns through performance analysis, ad copy testing, placement and audience management, and quality score improvement via Google Adwords (GDN), Facebook Ads, MediaMath, other major display networks/DSPs, and potentially other channels as opportunities arise.

You have holistic knowledge of the programmatic advertising space and are an expert in direct response. Plus you have advanced experience using Google Analytics to guide decision-making.

Important: Acquisition is the top of the funnel and vital to the success of our businesses. As a digital media company we are always “open.” This position will require you to monitor media buys every day including weekends.

STILL INTERESTED? READ ON

You’re deeply passionate about understanding the ins and outs of the programmatic marketplace, different ad placements/units, the psychology of our members, and attribution across multiple touch points.

You’re innately a “numbers person” and completely comfortable in Excel (pivot tables, data manipulation, V lookups). You believe in meticulously checking the accuracy of your data and are slightly OCD about making sure tracking and attribution are set up properly.

You’ll analyze large sets of data to quantitatively assess performance and translate anecdotal or qualitative data into recommendations and plans for revising the media mix.

You understand tracking technology. You know how and what you want to track and are comfortable working with platform tags and pixels to make it happen.

You’ll work closely with Product leads to find which campaigns are driving the most positive ROI and what the member LTV from each campaign is.

You are also passionate about creative testing and landing page optimization and you have experience successfully working with designers to see your visions come to life. You enjoy testing the consumer experience firsthand.

You’ll proactively identify new opportunities.
