Bolster US Campaign Manager

Are you a data-driven 'tech-head' with a genuine passion for marketing, emerging advertising solutions, and the bold, boundary-pushing world of US entertainment and culture? We're looking for a US based Campaign Manager to join our powerhouse global media team, working across some of the most exciting entertainment, consumer and lifestyle brands in the US market.

With your strategic, solutions-focused mindset and cross-platform expertise, you'll own the end-to-end delivery of media campaigns, act as a trusted soundboard for clients, and collaborate closely with our Client Director and media team with a proactive, can-do attitude. This is an awesome opportunity to join a supportive team of high-performers that are laser-focused on results but just as equally on having fun along the way.

If you have a proven track record of effectively managing campaigns and clients across paid digital and traditional media channels, plus a juicy brain to boot, then we want to hear from you!

We are integrated communications specialists with an eye on culture.

Headquartered from Melbourne Australia, we’re a team of 50+ passionate individuals spread across four specialist teams.

Bolster Group has devised integrated campaigns for some of the world’s biggest brands including Bacardi-Martini Australia, KFC, Google, EA Games, Samsung, Warner Music, and more. We’re the agency you bring in when you want to play meaningfully in music and broader culture.
