Crowdcube briefed Traktion to find a Facebook ads expert that could support them with their campaigns. These campaigns are tight, fast turnaround and require extraordinary agility to optimise in campaign and drive performance faster than the FB algorithm is used to. This assignment would require someone with specific knowledge of funding campaigns as well as Facebook Ads knowledge.
