Manning Gottlieb OMD: Seven-Figure Budgets, Three Major Brand Launches.

The Overview

Before founding Sovera Media, I spent several years at Manning Gottlieb OMD as a Biddable Account Manager, leading paid social strategy and daily optimisation for major brands including Nissan, QuickBooks and Specsavers. It's where the approach behind Sovera was built: clear strategy, hands-on delivery and honest reporting, applied to seven-figure budgets under real agency pressure.

What I Did

• Owned paid social strategy and day-to-day optimisation across multiple flagship client accounts at once
• Managed seven-figure media budgets across Meta, TikTok, Pinterest and Reddit
• Led the introduction of new platforms into established brands' always-on media mix, including Nissan's first use of Reddit
• Worked cross-functionally with creative, strategy and client teams to keep campaigns performing under tight deadlines

Key Highlights

• Delivered campaigns for three major brands concurrently: Nissan, QuickBooks and Specsavers
• Contributed to campaigns nominated for the Digital Drum Awards
• Built the strategic and operational foundation that Sovera Media now runs on

Why It Matters

Agency-scale delivery is a different discipline to running a single account: multiple brands, multiple stakeholders, and no room for the reporting or optimisation to slip. That's the standard Sovera was built to hold onto, now applied directly for brands and as a white-label partner for agencies who need the same reliability.
