FKA has a full-time opening for a Media Strategist with five or more years of digital marketing experience to join our growing media department. As a Media Strategist you’ll demonstrate strong strategic thinking, the ability to convey strategies to clients and provide day-to-day oversight on media planning and buying activities. This role will drive strategies forward and be responsible for overseeing campaign performance and strategy for assigned clients. The Media Strategist will report directly to the Media Directors and will work closely with the Media Coordinators by providing direction for the execution and maintenance of campaigns. The Media Strategist will liaise directly with national clients and help oversee the management of media campaigns. 

FKA is a marketing and communications agency based in Edmonton with additional employees in Calgary and Toronto. Growth is key to our success and ambition is core to our brand. Last year, we were ranked No. 229 on the annual Growth List of Canada’s Fastest Growing Companies—our third consecutive appearance on the list. 

Candidates should possess:

  • Demonstrated subject matter expertise in digital marketing.
  • A strong familiarity with Google Ads (including search, display and YouTube), Bing ads, advertising on social platforms (including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter), Google Analytics and other digital platforms.
  • Experience reporting and measuring the success of digital media campaigns.
  • Strong understanding of conversion tracking and familiarity with Google Tag Manager.
  • Experience working with a variety of clients and annual budgets that range in size from five- to seven-figures.
  • A passion for finding innovative and creative digital media solutions for client problems.
  • Presentation experience and the ability to explain strategic recommendations through data, research and understanding of clients’ goals and measures of success.

This position features significant potential for career development and growth. Media is the fastest-growing department and FKA is one of Canada’s fastest growing companies - we’ve been listed on the 2018, 2019 and 2020 GROWTH 500 list of Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies. FKA is a Facebook Preferred Agency Partner and a Google Premier Partner, offering unique opportunities for training and support. Working at FKA means working with national clients like The Brick and Canadian Western Bank, all within a Fun, Knowledgeable and Ambitious team environment. 

FKA offers an exciting, fast-paced, fun and highly supportive agency environment. We start most days with a morning scrum to collaboratively manage capacity and risks and we solicit feedback from team members regularly with weekly surveys and monthly check-ins. Team members are provided with competitive compensation, health benefits and opportunities for professional development and networking.

The FKA team is currently working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we won’t be mandating a return to work until we’re confident it’s safe to do so from a health and safety standpoint. Following a more formal return to work, FKA intends to continue with a hybrid work arrangement with staff dividing their time between work-from-home and in-person work at the office.  

We are an equal opportunity employer committed to improving diversity in our workplace and industry.
