Engaging a PPC Executive to strengthen DK’s marketplace performance

Our digital and marketing recruiters began working with global publisher, DK, when they needed to hire within a specialist area of their digital team. Following initial conversations, we quickly established alignment on requirements and began supporting their search for a PPC Executive. 

Engaging a PPC Executive to strengthen DK’s marketplace performance

The story of DK

DK is a globally recognised publisher, known for its highly visual, design-led non-fiction content across a range of categories. As part of a wider evolution of their ecommerce and digital sales channels, Amazon continues to play a critical role in driving revenue and visibility. 

At this stage, ensuring consistent performance across marketplace channels was key to maintaining growth and competitiveness in an increasingly sophisticated digital landscape. 

Challenge: Securing specialist Amazon PPC expertise at junior level

The publishing house needed to hire a junior PPC professional with hands-on Amazon experience – a specialist combination that is not widely available in the market. 

This was a replacement hire, meaning a suitable candidate was crucial to ensuring continued work across the marketing channel. Due to ongoing difficulty with direct recruitment, they sought a specialist recruitment agency’s help. 

Solution: Conducting dedicated and targeted searches

Tash Igoea delivered a highly targeted search focused on identifying candidates with practical Amazon PPC experience at the appropriate level. She prioritised: 

  • Precision over volume 
  • Careful candidate qualification 
  • Close collaboration with the hiring team

Although the search required multiple iterations to calibrate the right level of candidate, strong communication enabled fast decision-making when suitable profiles were identified. 

Result: An excellent hire to continue marketplace activity

We successfully placed a PPC Executive with Amazon experience, aligned to both the technical requirements of the role and the client’s budget. 

The hire enabled DK to maintain continuity across their marketplace activity, ensuring ongoing performance within a key revenue channel. Both client and candidate were satisfied with the outcome.
