We know that how we do things is just as important as what we do. We pride ourselves on our client friendly and time-bound process. We believe in building long-term relationships. Many of our first clients are still our best clients.

Our clients include the Alberta government, Greenpeace, the Translink Mayor’s Council, Unifor, and the David Suzuki Foundation.

Position Summary

The Digital Media Coordinator is responsible for the planning, implementation, and daily management and optimization of online paid media campaigns - for both lead generation, and brand/issue awareness. This position will assist in strategy and planning responsibilities including research and insights derived from past campaign performance. A critical eye for detail and a love for data analysis is a must.

A typical day at Point Blank might include a meeting with a Toronto-based union working to organize new members, updating delivery reports for a campaign to build awareness on electoral reform, and working with a colleague to troubleshoot a conversion pixel issue for a national email acquisition campaign.

You live and breathe campaigns, and are always looking to try new things to push the envelope. You’re a self-starter who’s always pushing yourself and your colleagues, who brings enthusiasm to work every day.
