About your Skills 
  • B2B marketing: While your core expertise is in paid search, you know the entire B2B funnel and how advertising can influence each stage from brand awareness to remarketing. You can investigate where in the funnel leads may drop off and propose effective solutions. You know how various Google Ads campaign types fit in the B2B funnel and how they can influence other funnel stages. In addition to Search, you have launched and managed at least one of the following campaign types: Video (YouTube), Display, Demand Gen, or PMax.
  • Communication: You communicate clearly and concisely, adapting your message to diverse stakeholders and contexts.  You ask questions to understand the full context of the project or situation at hand. Whether writing, presenting, or collaborating, you convey ideas effectively, build alignment, and keep projects on track through proactive and thoughtful interactions.
  • Stakeholder management: You drive projects that involve several teams at a time, internally and externally. You develop relationships effectively up, down, and across the organization, and you can strategically use these relationships to help move your work forward. You inspire others to align with your vision of success.
  • Advanced reporting: You are familiar with reporting and data visualization tools beyond Excel and Google Sheets. You know how to find the right data and visualize it in a dashboarding tool like Tableau, Looker, or similar. Moreover, you can build custom reports in Salesforce or another CRM and draw actionable insights.
