Capabilities of Advertising Managers

Advertising managers develop and execute strategic ad campaigns that enhance brand visibility, attract valuable customers, and drive conversions. They create cost-effective advertising initiatives that align with broader business and marketing goals by leveraging multi-platform paid media, audience segmentation, and real-time performance data.

Advertising Campaign Strategy

A well-crafted marketing strategy defines campaign goals, aligns with audience behavior, and adapts to market trends. Toptal advertising managers create data-driven plans that outline targeting parameters, media selection, and creative execution to allow brands to optimize engagement and maximize ad impact.

Multi-platform Ad Campaigns

Successful ad initiatives require a cohesive strategy across search, social, and display networks. Toptal media strategists oversee multi-channel efforts on Google Ads, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and programmatic networks while fine-tuning placements to improve visibility and return on investment.

Audience Targeting and Segmentation

Precise audience segmentation enhances campaign effectiveness by delivering ads to the most relevant users. Toptal advertising specialists refine audience groups using demographic, behavioral, and interest-based data to adjust parameters such as job title, location, and industry for higher engagement.

Creating and Overseeing Ad Creatives

Strong ad creatives are key to capturing attention and driving conversions across digital platforms. Toptal advertisers collaborate with designers and copywriters to develop compelling visuals, persuasive messaging, and engaging formats tailored to each channel.

Budget Allocation and Bid Management

Strategic budget allocation and bid optimization help maintain cost-effective placements. Toptal advertising experts analyze performance trends, distribute budgets efficiently across ad platforms, and adjust bids in real time to improve cost per acquisition and return on ad spend.

A/B Testing and Performance Optimization

Continuous testing is essential for identifying the most effective ad variations, from copy and headlines to audience segments and CTAs. Toptal ad managers conduct structured A/B tests, interpret performance metrics, and refine elements to improve click-through and conversion rates.

Retargeting and Remarketing Campaigns

Retargeting campaigns reconnect with users who have previously engaged with a brand but haven’t converted. Toptal ad marketers implement remarketing strategies using tracking pixels and audience segmentation to serve personalized ads that increase conversion potential.

Tracking Ad Performance Metrics

Monitoring ad performance involves assessing key metrics such as click-through rates (CTR), conversion rates, and cost per acquisition (CPA). Our specialists evaluate real-time data, identify trends, and adjust strategies to enhance campaign effectiveness.

Compliance with Advertising Policies

Ad platforms like Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn enforce strict content, targeting, and data usage policies. Toptal advertising specialists stay current with platform regulations, prevent ad disapprovals, and implement policy-compliant strategies that maintain campaign integrity while avoiding potential restrictions.

Ad Reports and Performance Insights

Data-driven reporting provides actionable insights into ad performance and optimization opportunities. Toptal consultants compile in-depth reports that assess campaign engagement, budget efficiency, and audience behavior to offer strategic recommendations for future success.

FAQs

  • How quickly can you hire with Toptal?

    Typically, you can hire advertising managers with Toptal in about 48 hours. For larger teams of talent or Managed Delivery, timelines may vary. Our talent matchers are highly skilled in the same fields they’re matching in—they’re not recruiters or HR reps. They’ll work with you to understand your goals, technical needs, and team dynamics, and match you with ideal candidates from our vetted global talent network.

    Once you select your advertising manager, you’ll have a no-risk trial period to ensure they’re the perfect fit. Our matching process has a 98% trial-to-hire rate, so you can rest assured that you’re getting the best fit every time.

  • To hire the right advertising manager, it’s important to evaluate a candidate’s experience, technical skills, and communication skills. You’ll also want to consider the fit with your particular industry, company, and project. Toptal’s rigorous screening process ensures that every member of our network has excellent experience and skills, and our team will match you with the perfect advertising managers for your project.

  • At Toptal, we thoroughly screen our advertising managers to ensure we only match you with the highest caliber of talent. Of the more than 200,000 people who apply to join the Toptal network each year, fewer than 3% make the cut.

    In addition to screening for industry-leading expertise, we also assess candidates’ language and interpersonal skills to ensure that you have a smooth working relationship.

    When you hire advertising managers with Toptal, you’ll always work with world-class, custom-matched advertising managers ready to help you achieve your goals.

  • You can hire advertising managers on an hourly, part-time, or full-time basis. Toptal can also manage the entire project from end-to-end with our Managed Delivery offering. Whether you hire a advertising manager for a full- or part-time position, you’ll have the control and flexibility to scale your team up or down as your needs evolve. Our advertising managers can fully integrate into your existing team for a seamless working experience.

  • We make sure that each engagement between you and your advertising manager begins with a trial period of up to two weeks. This means that you have time to confirm the engagement will be successful. If you’re completely satisfied with the results, we’ll bill you for the time and continue the engagement for as long as you’d like. If you’re not completely satisfied, you won’t be billed. From there, we can either part ways, or we can provide you with another advertising manager who may be a better fit and with whom we will begin a second, no-risk trial.
