Paid Ads, Funnels & Creative Strategy for an Agency
We are an established email and SMS marketing agency serving e-commerce brands, and we are looking for an experienced B2B Growth Marketing Lead to take ownership of our internal client-acquisition engine.
This role is focused entirely on growing our agency. You will not be managing advertising for our clients.
We are also not looking for someone who simply knows how to operate Meta Ads Manager or Google Ads after someone else has already created the offer, messaging, funnel, landing pages, and creative strategy.
We are looking for one highly capable growth operator who can evaluate the entire acquisition system, identify the biggest constraints, develop the strategy, execute the work, and ultimately be accountable for producing:
Qualified sales meetings
Sales opportunities
Pipeline
Acquired clients
Sustainable customer acquisition economics
What You Will Own
You will have broad ownership of our B2B client-acquisition system, including:
Overall paid acquisition strategy for the agency
Offer development and positioning
Campaign angles and lead magnets
Creative strategy and ad concepts
Developing clear creative briefs for designers and copy resources
Meta Ads
Google Ads
LinkedIn Ads or other channels when strategically appropriate
Landing-page strategy and messaging
Conversion-rate optimization
Lead forms and qualification logic
Scheduling and booked-meeting flows
The complete journey from ad click to qualified sales meeting
CRM tracking and attribution
Pipeline and revenue reporting
Weekly testing strategies across offers, audiences, creative, funnels, landing pages, and follow-up
Diagnosing bottlenecks throughout the acquisition funnel
Recommending and prioritizing what we should test next
You should be able to look beyond individual campaign metrics and understand how the entire acquisition system works together.
For example, if campaigns are producing inexpensive leads but very few qualified sales conversations, we expect you to determine whether the problem is coming from targeting, positioning, the offer, creative, landing-page messaging, qualification, follow-up, or another part of the funnel.
How We Measure Success
We care significantly more about commercial outcomes than vanity metrics.
You should be comfortable measuring and optimizing around metrics such as:
Cost per qualified meeting
Cost per opportunity
Lead-to-meeting conversion rate
Opportunity rate
Customer acquisition cost
Pipeline generated
Closed revenue
Acquired clients
Clicks, CTR, CPM and CPL matter, but they are not the end goal.
The goal is to build a predictable acquisition system that consistently generates qualified opportunities and new agency clients.
The Person We Are Looking For
We are specifically looking for someone who has demonstrated experience generating qualified opportunities for:
B2B service businesses
Marketing agencies
Professional-services firms
Consultancies
SaaS companies
Other high-ticket or high-consideration B2B offers
Experience marketing an agency or professional-services company selling monthly retainers would be particularly valuable.
Experience marketing to e-commerce brands, Shopify businesses, founders, or marketing leaders would also be a major advantage.
Required Experience
You should have strong hands-on experience with:
B2B demand generation
Meta Ads
Google Ads
Offer development
Creative strategy
Campaign concepts and testing
Landing pages
Conversion optimization
Lead-generation funnels
Lead qualification
CRM attribution
Sales-pipeline reporting
We specifically want someone who has experience developing the strategy and executing it.
If your experience is primarily media buying and someone else normally handles the offer, funnel, messaging, creative strategy, and landing pages, this probably is not the right role.
Especially Valuable Experience
Experience with any of the following would be particularly valuable:
Marketing agencies or professional-services firms
High-ticket B2B offers
Selling to e-commerce or Shopify brands
HubSpot
GoHighLevel
Salesforce
Marketing automation
Call tracking and attribution
Lead magnets
Audits
Webinars
Reports
Calculators or other acquisition offers
Directing designers, copywriters, video editors, or landing-page builders
Using AI tools to accelerate research, creative development, analysis, and experimentation
How We Work
You will work directly with agency leadership and have access to our internal creative resources.
We want someone who can operate independently rather than waiting for us to determine every campaign, test, or next action.
You should be able to explain:
What is currently working
What is not working
Where the biggest constraint is
What we should test next
Why you believe that test is commercially important
We value someone who is practical, accountable, highly analytical, comfortable making decisions, and able to communicate clearly.
Time Commitment
We intentionally are not prescribing a specific number of hours per week.
We want an experienced growth marketer to look at the responsibilities and outcomes described above and tell us what level of weekly involvement you believe is realistically required to execute this role well and produce meaningful results.
When applying, please tell us how many hours per week you would recommend dedicating to the role initially and why.
We are looking for a long-term relationship, and the position has the potential to develop into a larger fractional or full-time growth leadership role if there is a strong fit.
Meaningful overlap with U.S. Eastern Time is important.
Initial Paid Engagement
We expect to begin with a paid evaluation period.
Initially, we would ask you to review our existing acquisition system, including:
Current positioning and offers
Paid campaigns
Creative
Landing pages
Lead flow
Qualification process
CRM and attribution
Sales-pipeline reporting
From there, we would expect you to identify the largest constraints and develop a prioritized testing roadmap.
We are not looking for free speculative work. The initial evaluation would be paid.
If the relationship is successful, we want this to become an ongoing role with broad ownership over agency acquisition.
Who Should NOT Apply
This is probably not the right role if you are:
A general social-media manager without significant paid acquisition experience
A media buyer who requires someone else to develop the offer, funnel, messaging, and creative strategy
An e-commerce advertiser without meaningful B2B lead-generation experience
Primarily a high-level strategist who does not personally execute
An agency applying on behalf of a rotating team
Someone who focuses primarily on clicks, leads and CPL without connecting marketing activity to qualified opportunities, pipeline and revenue
We want one clearly accountable operator.
