Overview

We’re looking for a Junior Digital Marketing Executive to join our growing digital team at Fantastic Media.

This is an entry-level role, ideal for a recent graduate looking to launch a career in digital marketing, with a particular focus on paid media and performance. Agency experience is not
essential, just a genuine interest in digital marketing and a real appetite to learn.

From day one you’ll be supported by senior members of the team, learning the fundamentals of how paid media works across Google Ads, LinkedIn, Meta and TikTok. As you find your feet, you’ll begin contributing to live client accounts and start to see how digital activity directly impacts business growth and revenue.

You’ll also work closely with our Client Services team to gain a broader understanding of marketing strategy, learning how paid media integrates with channels such as SEO, PR, content, social media and web development to deliver successful campaigns for our clients.

This exposure will give you a well-rounded understanding of the role digital marketing plays within a full-service agency.
