Junior Media Buyer for Meta Ads Campaign (Short-Term Project)

This is a focused opportunity for a junior-level freelancer to help us execute and refine Meta Ads campaigns over a short time window (less than a week). Our team is prepping for a product push and needs an extra set of hands to ensure our paid social activity is set up cleanly, tracked properly, and ready to scale. If you’re looking to get hands-on with a real budget and see your work in action, this project is designed for you.

Project context: We’re a small e-commerce brand targeting Gen Z and young professionals in the UK, about to launch a new collection. We already have some basic Meta Ads running but performance is flat and we want to shake things up before a bigger spend next month. Our main goals are to test new creative angles, improve ad structure, and make sure conversion tracking is firing correctly so we can measure ROAS accurately.

What you’ll do:

• Audit the current Meta Ads account – check campaign structure, ad set targeting, and creative variety. (We’ll provide access and a simple checklist.)
• Suggest 2–3 new ad angles or creative hooks based on our product and audience. No need to design assets, but you should be comfortable writing short copy ideas or headlines.
• Set up or adjust 1–2 campaigns with your new angles, including basic targeting tweaks (age, interests, placements).
• Check and test the conversion tracking (Meta Pixel) on our Shopify store. If events aren’t firing, flag it and suggest a fix – we have a developer on standby for technical changes.
• Monitor initial results for 3–4 days, report back with a short summary: what’s working, what’s not, and a simple next-step recommendation.

Skills needed: Some hands-on experience with Meta Ads Manager (campaign setup, ad set structure), basic understanding of conversion tracking, and an eye for creative testing. You don’t need years of agency background – just a willingness to learn and communicate clearly.

Why this project? We’re testing new messaging and creative before a bigger campaign push. If this goes well, there’s potential for further projects or ongoing support as we scale up our paid spend.

You’ll work directly with our marketing lead and get quick feedback. The timeline is tight – we want to see new campaigns live within 2 days of starting, and initial results by the end of the week.

If you’re detail-oriented, proactive, and want to get real results under your belt, we’d love to hear from you. Please mention any relevant Meta Ads experience, and share a quick example of a campaign you’ve set up or optimised (if possible).

Thanks for considering the project! Let’s make this launch a success.

In short: help us refresh our Meta Ads, test new angles, and make sure tracking is reliable – all within a week.
