About native
native has been building for 10 years, but we're still very much a startup: fast-moving, ambitious, and building with intent. We're creating the infrastructure that connects students, Students’ Unions, universities, and advertisers through a joined-up marketplace.
Our goal is to increase student engagement while enabling Students’ Unions to secure sustainable funding. For advertisers, we offer meaningful, measurable routes to student audiences. The more aligned these incentives are, the more defensible and scalable our business becomes.
About the team
The Campaign Delivery team is the execution powerhouse behind native’s ambitious growth and is responsible for executing campaigns that engage students and meet advertiser objectives. We deliver a wide range of activities, including experiential activations, fairs, and digital ad products, collaborating closely with Students' Unions, vendors, and specialist internal sub-functions within Campaign Delivery, such as Logistics, Creative Production, and Staffing. Our team ensures operational excellence through meticulous planning, clear communication, and a supportive, highly-collaborative, internal culture.
