It’s no secret we’ve always had a soft spot for the indie agency world…

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

Enter: Brands Media

We’re beyond thrilled to be teaming up once again 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 stacked with legends) - this one’s got your name all over it.

So, who is Brands Media?

Think beachy vibes, big ideas. Headquartered out of the sun-soaked 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. They create stories and messaging that cuts through. They build high-performance ecosystems that deliver impact you can actually feel.

Their sweet spot? Where brand meets performance meets strategy. And trust us - they nail it!

Let’s Talk Cred

Co-founded by a duo with over 30+ years of combined digital leadership, this team brings heavyweight experience, strategic smarts, and a reputation that carries weight right across the Aussie media scene.

Their client roster? Already spans an array of swoon-worthy brands across a mix of diverse industries - with a soft spot for the eComm darlings (looking at you, JGR & STN).

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

The GiG

We’re after a Paid Media Manager with 2+ years of hands-on experience. You’ve probably spent the last couple of years in #agencyland building paid media strategies, executing campaigns, and driving performance that turns heads.
You’ve worked with brands who get paid media. Clients with big ambitions, big budgets, and an even bigger appetite for performance marketing that actually moves the needle. And you? You deliver.

You’re a full-stack paid media pro. Strategy? That’s your jam. Implementation? You’re comfortable in the weeds - optimising, experimenting, and driving results that make clients swoon. And this role? It’s got room for you to seriously level up.

We’re not looking for someone to just tick boxes. We want someone obsessed with quality over quantity. Someone fluent across platforms. Someone who builds campaigns that leave a lasting impression.

Your sweet spot? Paid Social ( a non-negotiable) + Paid Search. Bonus points if you bring Programmatic chops too - but if not, no drama. A hunger to learn goes a long way here.

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. 
• Obsess over performance, continuously optimising campaigns using data, insights, and smart experimentation.
• Owning the tracking game - GTM, GA4, Looker Studio… you name it, you’ll keep reporting tight.
• Create compelling, crystal-clear performance reports that not only showcase results but highlight opportunities and strategic next moves.
• Help mentor and uplift junior media buyers, giving them the tools, guidance, and confidence to grow into platform superheroes. 
• Collaborating with clients and internal teams to ensure every campaign ladders up to bigger-picture goals.
• Spot trends before they hit the radar, troubleshoot roadblocks fast, and bring proactive solutions that push performance past expectations.

And, YOU?

• 2+ years of paid media or digital performance experience, agency side. 
• Paid Social + Paid Search Superstar- You’ve planned, managed and scaled campaigns that convert and impress. (Meta is your sweet spot though!). 
• Programmatic experience (DV360, CM360) = a big plus, but not essential.There’s loads of room and support to grow here! 
• Data fluent - GA4, GTM, Looker Studio are in your toolkit.
• Solid grasp of the digital media landscape - how it works, how it shifts, and how to stay one step ahead. 
• A top-tier communicator who can simplify the complex, written or verbal.
• Organised, resourceful, cool under pressure.
• Team-first NRG - highly collaborative, generous with your knowledge, and always keen to level up both yourself and 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 doing #agencylife the right way. Flexibility isn’t lip service here - it’s baked in. Hybrid? Bespoke flexibility? Brissy-based and can’t swing the daily GC commute? We’ll make it work if you’re the right fit.

This role is yours to shape, own, and grow into. Leadership potential? Big time. Career growth? Absolutely. A team that sees you, hears you, and backs you every step of the way? 100%.
