You're reading this ad, so you're ready to outthink. To take your skills, knowledge and experience beyond what you thought possible. And TMP268 is the place to do it.
TMP268 is a creatively strategic marketing agency, home to the Armed Forces Recruitment Service. Protecting the nation begins here.
And what does that mean for you? It means new challenges to rise to. Being encouraged and empowered to outthink at every opportunity. It means creating industry-first solutions, harnessing emerging tech, and realising AI's potential to create human connection. It means feeling valued for everything you bring. And work you can be proud to call your own, whatever your role.
The role
We're looking for a Programmatic Biddable Media Manager to join our Media team in Bristol, helping to plan, buy and deliver multi-channel campaigns for the Armed Forces Recruitment Service (AFRS).
You'll take ownership of programmatic activity across display, online video, YouTube, audio, DOOH and CTV, working across the full campaign lifecycle from initial brief and planning through to activation, optimisation and post-campaign analysis. You'll manage budgets carefully, monitor performance and use data to identify opportunities to continually improve results.
Working closely with colleagues across Media, Strategy, Data, Digital, Creative and Client Service, you'll turn performance data and wider cultural insights into practical recommendations. You'll bring a test-and-learn mindset to your campaigns, exploring different approaches and making informed decisions about how and where activity can work harder.
You'll also stay close to developments across programmatic platforms, emerging technology and changing consumer behaviour, bringing new ideas and opportunities back into the team. Alongside managing your own campaigns, you'll support and coach junior colleagues, sharing your knowledge and helping them develop their technical and professional skills.
Who we're looking for
You'll have experience within a media agency planning or buying environment, with a proven track record of delivering successful programmatic campaigns. You'll be confident working with Demand Side Platforms such as DV360 and experienced in managing budgets, forecasting and using performance data to optimise campaigns.
Experience of planning and executing campaigns that effectively reach 16–24-year-olds is important, alongside strong analytical and problem-solving skills and the ability to turn data and cultural insights into effective media strategies. You'll be organised, detail-focused and comfortable managing different priorities in a fast-moving environment.
Experience with CM360, direct IOs, GA4 and data-driven attribution or conversion path modelling would be useful, as would a wider understanding of media attribution and incrementality. Relevant Google or DSP certifications would also be a bonus.
What's in it for me?
You're set to gain so much from being part of our team, including:
-
Time off to rest or conquer items on the bucket list with 27 days' holiday (+ 8 bank holidays) and a holiday purchase benefit where you can buy up to an additional 5 days.
-
