MEDIA BUYING STRATEGIST

Code3 is an integrated marketing agency built for the modern consumer journey. We sit at the intersection of Connected Media, Creative, and Commerce, helping some of the world’s most recognized brands and fastest-growing challengers turn attention into business growth.

Paid social has evolved far beyond media buying. Success today requires understanding consumer behavior, creative performance, platform innovation, and how culture influences the way people discover and buy products. Our team partners with clients to build full funnel strategies that connect all of those pieces—combining data, creativity, testing, and measurement to drive meaningful business results.

We work collaboratively across media, creative, measurement, strategy, and platform partnerships to continuously push our clients and ourselves forward.

As a Paid Social Strategist, you’ll own the day-to-day strategic direction and performance of paid social programs across a portfolio of clients. You’ll serve as a trusted client partner, turning data into actionable recommendations, identifying opportunities for growth, and ensuring our strategies continuously evolve alongside consumer behavior, creative performance, and the platforms themselves.
