7. Collaborate with Creative, Account Management, Product, and regional teams to coordinate campaign execution and provide feedback on creative performance and optimization opportunities.
8. Support advertising campaigns across Lazada MY, Shopee MY, and TikTok Shop where applicable, with guidance from the E-commerce team when necessary.
