Adrageous Media is a fast-growing Brighton marketing agency specialising in helping trade and construction businesses generate more enquiries, win better work and grow.
We’re looking for an experienced Senior Paid Media Executive who can take genuine ownership of client performance across Google Ads and Meta.
This isn’t a role where you’ll spend your day changing a few bids and sending reports.
We need someone who understands the full journey from click → landing page → lead → booked job, can spot when something isn’t working and knows what to do about it.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Managing a portfolio of Google Ads and Meta Ads accounts
- Building and launching new lead generation campaigns
- Developing campaign strategy around each client's services, locations and growth goals
- Managing budgets typically ranging from £1,000 to £5,000+ per month
- Optimising campaigns around cost per lead and, more importantly, lead quality
- Keyword research, search term analysis, negative keyword management and campaign restructuring
- Building and testing Meta audiences, creatives and campaign structures
- Working with our creative team to develop new ad angles, offers and concepts
- Identifying landing page improvements that could increase conversion rates
- Reviewing call tracking, CRM and lead data to understand what is actually generating work
- Making sure conversion tracking is accurate across Google Ads, Meta, GA4 and other platforms
- Regularly reviewing accounts and proactively identifying opportunities or problems
- Communicating clearly with clients about performance and strategy
- Working closely with our SEO, web, creative and account management teams
What We're Looking For
You should already have solid hands-on experience running paid media campaigns and be comfortable managing accounts without needing someone looking over your shoulder every day.
Ideally, you'll have:
- Strong Google Ads experience
- Strong Meta Ads experience
- Experience managing lead generation campaigns
- Agency experience
- Confidence managing multiple client accounts at once
- Strong knowledge of conversion tracking and attribution
- Experience with GA4 and Google Tag Manager
- A good understanding of landing page conversion
- Strong analytical skills
- Confidence speaking directly with clients
- The ability to explain performance without hiding behind marketing jargon
- A proactive mindset
Experience marketing trades, construction or local service businesses would be a major advantage.
The Kind of Person We Want
We want someone who actually cares whether the leads coming through are any good.
Someone who sees an account underperforming and starts digging into it rather than waiting for somebody else to flag it.
You'll probably enjoy this role if you're:
- Competitive about performance
- Curious about why campaigns work
- Comfortable testing new ideas
- Organised without being robotic
- Commercially minded
- Happy taking responsibility
- Confident challenging an approach when you think there's a better one
We’re not looking for someone who simply knows their way around the Google Ads interface.
We want someone who understands how paid media helps a business make money.
