  • Analyze industry data, target and engage audiences through diverse channels, including podcasts, forums, and direct promotion to Startpage's existing user base.
  • Develop and monitor KPIs to measure the success of marketing initiatives, making data-driven decisions to scale, discontinue, or otherwise adjust efforts.
  • Stay informed about news, viral trends, and industry insights, and integrate new tactics to enhance marketing efforts.
