• Developing a digital marketing strategy and workplan, together with relevant budgets from management approval

• Determining the optimum digital marketing mix, through research into client buying channels

• Designing and executing digital marketing campaigns

• Monitoring campaign results and adjusting approaches as appropriate

Role Requirements:

This position demands a highly-motivated individual that is able to appreciate and articulate the value that technology can bring to inclusive financial institutions in achieving both business and social aims – who can drive online presence and buzz for Fern solutions, grow and cultivate the global awareness of Fern through both direct and indirect channels, and provide pre-qualified leads for the business development team.
