Hey I’m Josh, a digital expert from Auckland, NZ.

Currently, I’m managing a creative studio, optimising programmatic campaigns, nurturing client relationships, scrutinising data and advising on campaign strategy.

Previously, I worked as an Account Manager in Manchester, UK.

With years in media, working across programmatic, digital and traditional channels, I’m experienced in the media landscape and have a variety of skills that allow me to bring value to clients.

I am constantly thinking critically and questioning if there are better ways things can be done.

Programmatic Executive
TVNZ
Auckland NZ

Working with programmatic at TVNZ has provided me with foundational knowledge of DSPs/SSPs, data segmentation, PG deals vs preferred deals and a greater understanding of digital advertising as a whole.

  • Responding to client briefs swiftly, and if needed, consulting on how incoming briefs can be improved

  • Optimizing deals daily, ensuring pacing is consistent while being alert to any deals that may have technical issues or incorrect parameters

  • Refined the programmatic ad structures at TVNZ to prevent clashing of ads, increase efficiency of ad slots, and put measures in place to counter insensitive ad structures

  • Deal creation and optimization using Magnite SSP

Account Manager

Manchester UK

During my time at Trusted Group, I was a key member during the growth of the team as we moved from being a small UK based company to an international company through training delivered in Dubai.

  • Assessed client requests and moved them through the sales pipeline

  • Learned how to quickly implement training strategies for the team and ensured the vision and goals of the company were clearly defined

  • Worked on training a team in Dubai, UAE

Account Manager
Dentsu Vizeum
Manchester, UK

As an Account Manager at Dentsu I learned the skills to navigate an international advertising agency and use the tools available to efficiently run and manage digital and linear campaigns while liaising with key stakeholders internally and externally.

  • Planned and executed multi-channel client briefs

  • Built and nurtured strong client relationships

  • Maintained the strategy budgets efficiently

  • Analyzed and drew insight from campaign metrics using Excel and Google Analytics

  • Ensured campaigns were optimized and running to their full potential while liaising with the correct teams to make it happen

Outside of work, I spend my time bouncing between studying Japanese 日本語, geeking out on video games, baking a perfect sourdough loaf and writing poetry.
