About the role
- Brand building: You present brands on Meta & TikTok so they stick — emotionally powerful, strategically grounded, and tailored to each channel.
- Campaign strategy: You plan upper-funnel campaigns and, when needed, integrate them with offline touchpoints.
- Impact: You measure success not by CPMs but by outcome KPIs such as brand lift and incrementality.
- Audiences: You dive into new segments and markets, recognize cultural nuances, and uncover growth narratives.
- Social ads: You run Meta & TikTok with clear hypotheses, iterative creative tests, and clean setups to achieve scalable results.
- Meta: You use Advantage+ strategically, build strong signals, and get more out of every euro of media budget.
- TikTok: You focus on content that excites, plan creator collaborations strategically, and test hooks and formats.
- Fresh input: You bring new ideas and formats to the team, break routines, and inject fresh approaches into brand-awareness campaigns.
Requirements
- 2+ years of experience in performance and brand marketing, ideally in a social environment with Meta and TikTok.
- Diligence: You work precisely, document thoroughly, and ensure quality — from setup to reporting.
- Curiosity: You’re eager to try new things, test hypotheses boldly, and turn learnings into repeatable playbooks.
- Analytical mindset: You turn dashboards into actionable recommendations, spot patterns, and prioritize measures with tangible impact.
- Team player: You proactively share knowledge, advise clients as equals, and keep everyone properly in the loop.
- Languages: Native-level German and strong English.
Benefits
- Performance with appreciation: We value performance — always delivered with respect and appreciation.

- Strong clients: Work with well-known brands such as Katjes, funny-frisch, ültje, Scania, Bübchen & JOOP! — exciting projects guaranteed.
- Feel-good factor: Free massages, Urban Sports membership, and height-adjustable desks — so you can work comfortably.
- Nice extras: Corporate Benefits, meal subsidy, company bike (JobRad), and job ticket for public transport.
- Team vibe: Regular events like ski trips or laser tag.
