• Collaborate with the Social Media/Content Marketer to align PPC ads with social campaigns and with the Email Marketing Specialist to funnel leads into email campaigns.
• Work with our Laravel, Vue.js, Flutter, and UX/UI teams to ensure landing pages and platform features support SEO and PPC goals.
