at Neighbourhood

🏢 About Neighbourhood

Neighbourhood is a fast-growing digital agency specializing in serving Christian organizations and charities, helping them build online audiences and achieve their objectives. What makes them unique is their niche focus on faith-based clients and their mission-driven approach to digital marketing, blending creativity with purpose. Working here offers the chance to combine professional digital ads expertise with meaningful impact in the Christian and charity sectors.

About This Role

As Digital Ads Lead, you'll oversee all aspects of digital advertising campaigns for clients, from strategy development to execution across Meta, Google, and other platforms. This role is impactful because you'll directly translate clients' goals into measurable results while working with a team of designers and videographers to create compelling ad content. Your work will help faith-based organizations grow their reach and achieve their missions through targeted digital advertising.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with reviewing campaign performance metrics across multiple clients, then moving to client strategy presentations or briefings for designers on new ad creatives. You'd spend time optimizing campaigns based on data, setting up tracking for new initiatives, and exploring innovative approaches to improve results for faith-based organizations. The role balances analytical work with creative collaboration and client communication in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment.

🎯 Who Neighbourhood Is Looking For

  • Has direct experience working with Christian organizations or demonstrates deep understanding of faith-based audiences and what motivates them
  • Is proficient in Meta and Google Ads platforms with proven ability to improve CPC, CTR, and ROAS metrics
  • Possesses exceptional client management skills and can translate complex goals into effective paid social/search campaigns
  • Is a proactive problem-solver who can manage multiple campaigns simultaneously while maintaining attention to detail

📝 Tips for Applying to Neighbourhood

1

Explicitly mention any experience with Christian organizations or faith-based marketing in your resume - this is a stated requirement

2

Include specific metrics you've achieved with digital ads (e.g., 'improved ROAS by 30% for nonprofit client') rather than generic responsibilities

3

Research Neighbourhood's current clients in the Christian/charity space and reference how your skills could serve similar organizations

4

Demonstrate your understanding of both creative and analytical aspects by highlighting campaign strategy development alongside technical setup skills

5

Since this is a remote part-time role, emphasize your ability to manage multiple campaigns independently and communicate effectively in a distributed team
