- Company Type: Digital Media Agency
- Location: Inner Melbourne
- Role: Performance Manager
- Work Model: Hybrid (3 days in the office, 2 days WFH)
- Team: Mentoring 1 Performance Coordinator
- Client Portfolio: Property, retail, travel, and consumer brands

You know Performance Max and Advantage+ better than most people know their own job. You're ready to stop just executing campaigns and start owning strategy, but your current agency hasn't handed you that trust yet. This performance-focused agency runs a flatter structure than most, senior media craft matched with genuine data and measurement capability. The team is close enough that a valuable idea from a Performance Coordinator can land in a client deck within the week, not buried under layers of sign-off. Staff retention here sits well above the industry benchmark.
