A Personal Message from Melissa McInerney, CEO

Hi, I'm Melissa McInerney. Sixteen years ago I founded tbk to redefine the agency–client relationship. Frustrated by cookie-cutter approaches (I'd never worked at an agency and hadn't had great experiences hiring them), I set out to break the rules: we deliver performance-first campaigns that prove themselves before we spend a dollar, and we empower our team as trusted experts with room to grow. Today, our clients are some of the most exciting brands in their industries, and this Digital Marketing Strategist role is key to keeping them at the very top.You live and breathe digital marketing—building and optimizing paid campaigns across Google, Meta, LinkedIn, Performance Max, and beyond—but you also know that long-term growth means owning the search landscape. From crafting SEO strategies and keyword roadmaps to uncovering organic opportunities through audits and competitor analysis, you're just as comfortable driving rankings as you are driving conversions. You'll own everything from campaign builds to content planning and reporting frameworks, partnering with strategy, creative, and analytics to deliver the results we confidently forecast. If that sounds like your kind of playground, let's talk.

About the Role

At tbk Creative, we know that successful marketing isn't built on tactics alone—it starts with strategy.We're looking for someone who thrives on solving complex business challenges, connecting the dots between data and creative, and building marketing plans that drive measurable results.If you're the kind of person who asks "Why?" before you ask "How?", you might be exactly who we need.

The Strategist Mindset – Non-Negotiable

• You see the big picture—client goals, market realities, and audience behaviour—before you touch a single campaign setting.
• You're comfortable challenging assumptions, uncovering opportunities, and building strategies that balance short-term wins with long-term growth.
• You connect creative, media, SEO, and analytics into one cohesive approach.
• You communicate with clarity, translating marketing complexity into simple, actionable direction for clients and internal teams.
• You're proactive—anticipating challenges, spotting trends early, and staying ahead of the digital marketing curve.

Why You'll Love It

• Strategy at the Core – You won't just "run ads" or "optimize on-page signals." You'll shape full-funnel marketing strategies and see your ideas directly influence business outcomes.
• Real Impact – Work with clients who value your strategic input and trust you to guide their growth.
• Collaboration Without Silos – Partner with designers, developers, copywriters, and media specialists who bring your strategy to life.
• A Place to Grow – Whether you want to deepen your strategic influence, lead major accounts, or grow into a senior leadership role, we'll help you get there.
• Every Day is Different – You'll work across industries, challenges, and channels—no two projects are alike.
• Support for Learning – Access to training, conferences, and mentorship to keep you sharp and ahead of the curve.

What We Need From You

• Hands-On Paid Ads Expertise: 4+ years running paid media campaigns in an agency.
• SEO Fluency: 3+ years executing SEO strategies, including audits, keyword research, on-page optimization, technical SEO, link building, and content planning.
• Technical Fluency: GA4, Google Tag Manager, Search Console, server-side tracking, attribution modelling.
• Reporting Savvy: Experience building dashboards and reports in Looker Studio, Databox, or similar BI tools.
• Platform Mastery: Advanced skills in Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, YouTube, Performance Max, plus working knowledge of leading SEO platforms (SEMrush, Ahrefs, Screaming Frog, Google Search Console).
• Analytical Rigor: Comfort with A/B testing, conversion attribution, ranking reports, and budget pacing models.
• Collaborative Communication: Able to brief copy/design teams, explain technical tracking or SEO recommendations to stakeholders, and present strategic insights with confidence.

What We'll Give You

• Competitive Compensation & Benefits: Above-market base salary + performance bonus program
• Growth & Leadership: Defined career path, monthly 1:1s, and cross-training in CRO, analytics, and creative testing
• Flexibility: Hybrid work model with remote days balanced by in-office collaboration
• Culture & Perks: Pet-friendly office, team socials, and an environment that values transparency, healthy competition, and having fun along the way

Skills & Experience Required

• Bachelor Degree or College Diploma in Computer Science, Marketing, Math, or equivalent work experience.
• 4+ years of experience working in Paid Media
• 3+ years of experience working in SEO growth strategy
• 2+ years in an Ontario agency environment
• Active Certifications or relevant training and experience in Google Ads, Meta Ads, Bing Ads, TikTok Ads, Pinterest Ads, StackAdapt, GA4, Google Search Console, Google Tag Manager, Looker Studio
• Strong working knowledge of HTML, basic JavaScript, Python

• Proven ability to manage multiple clients simultaneously, balancing tactical deliverables and strategic roadmaps.
• Experience with dashboarding and building reports.
