It’s no secret we’ve always been suckers for repping Indie agencies… 

But not just any indie agency. We’re talking about the ones with heart, soul, and a mission that punches well above its weight. The kind that flips the script, raises the bar, and rewrites what “great” looks like in #agencyland.

Enter: Brands Media

We’re buzzing to be teaming up with this fab crew to help them find a Paid Media Manager. If you’ve been hanging out for a role that blends purpose, creative flair, strategic smarts, and ultimate flexibility (plus a team full of legends) - this one’s got your name all over it! 

So.. who is Brands Media? 

Headquartered out of the beachy bliss of Nobby’s Beach on the Gold Coast, Brands Media is a full-service agency - but with a very different vibe. These folks don’t just run ads. They build brands, create stories and messaging that cuts through, and are all about bringing to life high-performance ecosystems that actually deliver real impact.

Their sweet spot? Where brand meets performance meets strategy. And they do it damn well! 

Let’s Talk Cred. 

Co-founded by a duo with over 30+ years of combined digital leadership, this team brings heavyweight experience, strategic muscle, and a stellar reputation across the Aussie media scene. Their client lineup? Already spans an array of swoon worthy brands across a mix of diverse industries - with a soft spot for the eComm darlings (hey there JGR & STN!). 

But let’s be real: Brands Media isn’t just another “media agency.” They’re brand builders, culture shifters, storytellers with heart. And they lead with both strategy and soul. 

The GiG: 

We’re on the lookout for a talented Paid Media Manager with around 3+ years of hands-on experience. You’ve likely spent the last few years hanging out in #agencyland - building paid media strategies, executing campaigns, and driving real-deal performance for a punchy mix of clients - from high growth eComm to smart lead-gen plays.  

You’ve worked with brands who get paid media. Ones with sizable budgets and an even healthier appreciation for performance marketing that actually makes a real impact - and you always deliver. 

You’re full-stack paid media through and through. Strategy? You live for it. Implementation? You’re comfy in the weeds, flexing your technical know-how, optimising campaigns, and driving results that make clients swoon. You’ve got the experience to back it up, and this role will offer you every opportunity to level up in the coolest of ways. 

But we’re not looking for just any Paid Media Manager. We want someone who deeply cares about quality vs quantity, is fluent across platforms, switched on, and obsessed with building campaigns that leave a lasting impression.
  
Your sweet spot? Paid Search and Paid Social. BIG bonus points if you’ve got Programmatic skills too. But if not, no stress. As long as you understand where Programmatic fits and you’re hungry to learn, you’re in excellent company! 

Here are the muscles you’ll be flexing in this role..

• Plan, build, and launch scroll-stopping campaigns across Meta, Google Ads, TikTok, and Programmatic - the kind that perform and scale.
• Obsess over performance, continuously optimising campaigns using data, insights, and smart experimentation.
• Own the tracking game - help implement accurate measurement via Google Tag Manager, GA4, Looker Studio, and whatever it takes to keep reporting on point. 
• Create compelling, crystal-clear performance reports that not only showcase results but highlight opportunities and strategic next moves.
• Mentor and uplift junior media buyers, giving them the tools, guidance, and confidence to grow into platform superheroes. 
• Work in lockstep with clients and internal teams, ensuring every campaign ladders up to bigger-picture brand and business goals.
• Spot trends before they hit the radar, troubleshoot roadblocks fast, and bring proactive solutions that push performance past expectations.

And YOU? 

• 3+ years of paid media or digital performance experience, agency side. 
• Paid Search and Paid Social Pro - You’ve planned, managed and scaled campaigns that convert and impress. 
• Comfortable with Programmatic? Even better. Experience with DV360 or CM360 is a big bonus, not a dealbreaker though. There’s loads of room and support to grow here! 
• Solid grasp of the digital media landscape - how it works, how it shifts, and how to stay one step ahead. 
• Fluent in data - GA4,  GTM, and Looker Studio are part of your regular toolkit 
• Top-tier communicator - with the ability to breakdown complex ideas clearly - both written and verbal 
• Organised, resourceful, and cool under pressure - even when spinning multiple plates. 
• Team-first NRG - highly collaborative, generous with your knowledge, and always keen to level up those around you. 

Growth. Flexibility. Freedom. 

Let us say it again for the peeps in the back.. Brands Media is not your average media agency - and that’s exactly the point! 

This is your chance to step into a growing team that’s doing #agencylife the right way. They get what balance truly means. Flexibility isn’t just lip service here.. it’s baked into the way they work. Hybrid? Bespoke flexibility? Brissy-based and can’t swing the daily GC commute? No problem - If you’re the right fit, we’ll make it work. 

This role is yours to own. You’ll have to space (and the support) to shape it, grow into it, and put your unique stamp on it. There’s real potential to lead, level up, and evolve within a team that sees you, hears you, and backs you every step of the way.
