  • Coordinate targeting, messaging inputs, budgets, and performance feedback with Programmatic/CTV partners
  • Implement, monitor, and troubleshoot conversion tracking using Google Analytics (GA4), Google Ads, and related tools
  • Analyze campaign performance to identify trends, inefficiencies, and optimization opportunities
