Agency context

Built for agency work, not generic remote hiring.

Performance marketing accounts create pressure around forecast misses, blended performance, budget allocation, creative velocity, and client expectations. Nearshore overlap matters when account changes and client communication cannot wait overnight.

Working-call vetting
  • A live working-call exercise around mixed channel performance, budget pressure, and client uncertainty.
  • Tool familiarity across Meta Ads, Google Ads, Triple Whale, Looker Studio, GA4, and project boards.
  • Prompt judgment for summarizing cross-channel performance without hiding risk.
AI month one
  • Performance marketing recaps from channel movement, creative status, and client notes.
  • Risk summaries around pacing, creative velocity, and blended performance.
  • Workflow docs for reporting prep, account planning, and follow-up cadence.

Every placement includes 4 live 1-on-1 AI instructor sessions in the first four weeks post-placement.
