Founded as an independent media agency in 1996, DWA is headquartered in San Francisco, with eight additional offices in the US, Europe and Asia-Pacific employing 150+ employees globally.

In December 2017 we were acquired by Merkle, part of the Dentsu Aegis Network. The move expands the B2B offering at marketing agency Merkle, adding scale and breadth to existing capabilities, and offering brands in the technology and B2B sectors greater sophistication, integrated technology, data, creativity, and outstanding performance marketing.  Our approach has delivered success for a diverse group of clients, including Cisco, Citrix, Box, NetApp, Salesforce and Oracle.

The acquisition allows us to have the best of both worlds; locally we retain our independent agency feel, with the backing of a global network - meaning the potential opportunity for career growth is yours for the taking. We foster a culture of ‘Work Hard, Play Hard’, and actively encourage our team members to have, and share opinions.

The Senior Performance Manager is a key team member across selected key DWA B2B clients, operating as the day-to-day key person in delivering client work. Using your analytical mindset, you will be responsible for the strategy, execution, performance and reporting of the paid social campaigns for your client across multiple platforms, acting as the paid social 'expert' for the client on campaign performance and optimisation providing insights into the best strategies and tactics to achieve business objectives.

The SSMM will have responsibility of managing the Account Managers and Account Executives, reporting into the Account Director.  We are seeking a very strong working knowledge of the social media space and available media research together with the ability to train and up-skill others.
