Description
About the role
Wayground is looking for a hands-on freelance consultant to run ad campaigns for us over a focused 2-month engagement.
You'll take full day-to-day ownership of our Meta and TikTok ad accounts — launching, monitoring, and optimizing campaigns. By the end of the contract, we should have well-performing campaigns and a much clearer internal understanding of how we got those results.
This is a great fit for someone who enjoys being in the weeds of campaign management, is naturally organized, and likes explaining their thinking out loud rather than working in a black box.
What you'll own
-
Defining, together with us in week 1, the KPIs and benchmarks this engagement will be measured against (e.g., CPA, ROAS, CTR, conversion rate) so success is concrete, not vague.
-
End-to-end management of paid campaigns on Meta Ads Manager and TikTok Ads Manager, within an agreed budget — from full-funnel campaign setup (awareness through conversion) to daily execution.
-
Daily monitoring of campaign performance — spend, CPM/CPC/CPA, CTR, conversion rate, ROAS — and making timely calls on what to pause, scale, or adjust.
-
Full-funnel campaign execution: including audience targeting, segmentation, creative A/B testing and rotation, and pixel/conversion tracking setup.
-
Keeping a clear, up-to-date log of what's live, what's changed, what's been tested, and why — so decisions are traceable and nothing lives only in your head.
-
Turning performance data into clear “what's working / what's not and why” insights and narratives, not just reporting numbers — this team is non-expert, so translating data into plain-language takeaways matters.
-
Daily and Weekly (at minimum) reporting and readouts to the marketing team, plus ad hoc updates when something meaningfully changes.
-
Actively narrating your process to the team members — explaining the reasoning behind decisions, not just executing them
-
Staying current on platform policy, algorithm, and format changes (Meta and TikTok both shift often) and flagging what's relevant to us.
-
Flagging risks early: budget pacing issues, policy/compliance concerns, platform changes, or underperformance trends.
What we're looking for
-
~2–3 years of hands-on experience running paid campaigns on Meta and TikTok Ads (agency, freelance, or in-house), with real budget accountability.
-
A track record of taking a campaign from setup through optimization and being able to point to what you changed and why it worked (or didn't).
-
Comfort with both platforms' native ad managers, pixel/event tracking basics, and reading performance data without hand-holding.
-
Strong organizational habits — you naturally keep clean records of tests, changes, and results rather than relying on memory or scattered notes.
-
Good instincts for creative: you can tell when an ad is fatiguing or underperforming and have a point of view on what to try next.
-
Clear communicator who's comfortable working closely with, and explaining decisions to the team, not just solo execution.
-
Self-directed and reliable with a 2-month, deadline-bound engagement — comfortable owning outcomes without heavy oversight.
Tools & platforms you'll use
-
Meta Ads Manager (Facebook/Instagram) and TikTok Ads Manager.
-
GA4 or similar for tracking downstream conversion behavior, plus pixel/event/conversion tracking setup.
-
Spreadsheets/dashboards for reporting (Google Sheets/Excel, Looker Studio, or similar) — we're flexible on the exact tool, but expect it to be clean and shareable.
Nice to have
-
Experience running paid social for an ed-tech, SaaS, or consumer app product.
-
Exposure to creative production or working closely with design/video teams to brief new ad assets.
-
Meta Blueprint or TikTok Ads certification.
What success looks like at the end of 2 months
-
Campaigns on both platforms are set up cleanly, actively optimized, and hitting agreed performance benchmarks (to be set together in week 1).
-
A simple, living system for daily/weekly tracking — what's running, what's been tested, what worked — that the team can pick up and continue.
-
A short handover summary: what's working, what to keep doing, what to avoid, and recommended next steps.
