With over 8 years of hands-on experience in performance marketing and a proven track record of scaling native advertising campaigns, I am confident in my ability to lead your team to new heights. I have extensive expertise in platforms like Taboola, Microsoft Ads, and LiveIntent, and have successfully managed teams to drive profitable growth. In my previous role, I built a native advertising function from scratch, achieving a 40% increase in lead volume while reducing cost per lead by 25%. I thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy mentoring team members to reach their full potential. My approach is data-driven, and I am passionate about experimentation and continuous improvement. I am particularly drawn to this opportunity because of the clear path to Head of Native Pod and the chance to shape a high-performing media buying organization. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how my skills align with your goals. Sincerely, [Your Name] Copy ### Sample Interview Questions Can you describe your experience with native advertising platforms like Taboola and Microsoft Ads? How have you optimized campaigns on these platforms for lead generation?I have over 5 years of experience with Taboola and Microsoft Ads, managing campaigns with monthly budgets exceeding $500k. I focus on audience targeting, creative testing, and bid optimization. For example, I reduced CPA by 30% by implementing a structured A/B testing framework for headlines and images, and using lookalike audiences based on high-quality leads.This role involves leading a team of media buyers. How do you approach team management and development?I believe in setting clear goals, providing regular feedback, and fostering a culture of experimentation. I hold weekly one-on-ones to review performance and career growth, and I encourage team members to propose new testing ideas. I also document best practices and create playbooks to ensure consistency. In my previous role, I mentored two junior buyers who later became leads.How would you go about building a testing strategy for native ads?I would start by defining key metrics (e.g., CTR, conversion rate, CPA) and creating a structured testing roadmap. I prioritize tests based on potential impact and ease of implementation, focusing on targeting, creative, and landing page variables. I use statistical significance to validate results and document findings. I also collaborate with design and analytics teams to accelerate testing velocity.Describe a time when you had to troubleshoot a campaign that was underperforming. What steps did you take?I once managed a campaign with high spend but low conversion rates. I first analyzed funnel data and found that the landing page had a slow load time. I worked with the CRO team to optimize the page, and also adjusted targeting to remove low-quality placements. Within two weeks, the conversion rate improved by 40% and CPA dropped by 20%.How do you stay updated with industry trends and platform changes?I subscribe to industry newsletters, attend webinars, and participate in forums like r/ppc. I also set up alerts for platform updates from Taboola and Microsoft. I encourage my team to share learnings and we hold monthly knowledge-sharing sessions. Recently, I implemented a new bidding strategy based on a change in Taboola's algorithm that improved efficiency by 15%. ## Description We’re looking for an experienced Performance Marketing Lead to take ownership of one of our fastest-growing performance marketing initiatives.
