ROLE: Content Performance Analyst

LINE MANAGER: Managing Editor, Digital

 

PRINCIPAL RESPONSIBILITIES

 

The Content Performance Analyst will be responsible for monitoring our content performance against client objectives and KPIs.

 

This role will analyse datasets to report on website, SEO and email performance, providing actionable insights that deliver ongoing enhancements to help guide our content strategy. The role is also responsible for monitoring industry, consumer and business trends, and digesting these into insights that will fuel our teams’ creativity.

 

We expect the applicant to be confident with data analysis, able to condense information into easy-to-digest reports and communicate clearly, concisely and collaboratively. Working closely with insight, strategy, editorial and client teams, this role exists to bring learnings, action and enhancements to everything we create.

 

This role is part of the insights and strategy team but will work closely with creative and management teams and be a key client liaison, working with their own insights teams to collaborate on performance reporting.

 

Key responsibilities include:

Performance reporting

·        Create reports outlining content performance against client KPIs

·        Suggest actionable insights according to the data that creative teams can put into action to improve performance

·        Suggest hypotheses for test-and-learn to test our assumptions and improve performance

·        Work with the client on their own measurement programme to create reporting synergies and optimise workflow

·        Support on ad-hoc data and research requests that will inform content strategy

·        Pro-actively monitor anomalies, opportunities and high-performing content, sharing actions for what we should do as a result

·        Finding the ‘why’: this role needs to go beyond the data, and rather than just sharing what the data shows us, explain why it might be that way, what we can learn from it and what we should do about it

 

Industry, consumer and business trends

·        Working with the global insights and strategy team, monitor key information and trends relevant to our business needs

·        Using a mix of research sources, including 1st and 3rd party data, reports and industry news sites, monitor the key trends that influence our content and our clients

·        Pro-actively share news, insights and learnings from industry reports

·        Feed insights into content and quarterly planning to ensure our content is on-trend, meets client objectives and delivers on consumer needs

·        Immerse yourself in the client’s world – their needs, industry, ways of working, pressures and opportunities – and share ways we can better support them through content

Content best practice

·        Monitor what competitor brands are creating in this space and share what we can learn from them

·        Explore out-of-sector content best practice to make sure we don’t fall behind

·        Bring enthusiasm, creativity and curiosity to our planning and creative process

·        Work closely as part of the global strategy and insight team to share experiences, learn from other projects and adopt best practice
