    • Maintain a consistent brand voice and visual identity across our social channels.
    • Plan, launch and manage paid campaigns and boosted content across platforms including LinkedIn and Meta.
    • Build and optimize audience targeting strategies using demographic, interest-based, behavioural, lookalike and retargeting audiences.
    • Monitor campaign budgets and performance and continuously optimize for stronger results.
    • Track key metrics including reach, impressions, engagement, follower growth, CTR and paid campaign performance.
