Who You AreYou're looking to apply your marketing talents where you can have an impact -- on clients who appreciate, respect, and need your expertise. No giant bureaucratic corporations; but no local shops either. You want to work with interesting, nimble, ambitious, mission-driven companies.
You're drawn to both the analytical and psychological aspects of digital advertising. You enjoy exploring the data to learn why and how people interact with a brand.
You're a productivity nut. You believe in the power of smartly using technology to fuel efficiencies and save time from mundane, routine tasks. You want to build something. Go beyond the day-to-day tasks and work towards something bigger.
You want to be a part of a community of collaboration. You want to go to lunch with your colleagues. You thrive in this wonderful remote work world, but you also seek human interaction in your professional endeavor -- because you're a human. And those Zoom happy hours don't always cut it.
You're seeking an environment where you can spitball ideas, test things, see what works, hone, and get better. You love being nimble and flexible, ready to shift to changes in the market.
1-3 years of data-driven digital advertising experience is preferred. You've managed Google Ads campaigns -- some combination of Search, Shopping, Display, YouTube, etc. -- and perhaps Meta Ads as well. You know how to develop strategies based on client needs. And you're effective at distilling and conveying important information to clients, whether through proactive emails or through leading client meetings. Bonus points if you have agency experience!
Who We AreTiny House is a team of digital marketing curators. We serve our clients by helping them understand what's important to them in the crowded, complicated world of digital marketing.
What pieces of data do they need to pay attention to? What platforms, channels, and audiences are out there that would be relevant to them?
A tiny house is small, yes, but it's purposefully so. There's intentionality -- people who live in tiny houses prioritize other things in their lives over space, social customs, or the expectations of others.
In order to live this way, they have to be creative, resourceful, and efficient. And there's fun in that process and experience! (How do you fit a cutting board into your kitchen? Where do dirty clothes go? How do you creatively store extra seating or bedding?)
What do you choose to minimize or get rid of in favor of your larger goals?
We distill the confusing and overwhelming down to the essential.
Through our Audience-Centric Approach, we use data to:
- Deeply understand our client’s audiences.
- Know where and how to find these audiences.
- Understand what messaging and ad creative resonates with these audiences across the customer journey.
Yes, we manage the crap out of some digital advertising campaigns and drive killer results. But to us, our product is our "Tiny House Digest", a regularly sent client-specific newsletter that tells the client what work is being done to push their business forward, why, how well it's working, and what's next.
It's effective, fun, and genuine. Send us a note if this way of marketing sparks your interest.
