What you’ll do:

You’ll be a force within the company, known as a go-to-person for media planning expertise. Every day brings a new challenge to the job, but few things you can expect to be accountable for consistently:

• ✦Analyzing campaign results to highlight key learnings – and translating those learnings into concise, actionable recommendations so that we can push our work to be even more outstanding

We’re looking for a rising media planning talent who is also a delight to work with, which usually includes:

• ✦A four-year college education and two to four years of experience working as a media assistant or planner, preferably in a multichannel capacity at a creative agency
• ✦Strong familiarity with the digital environment – you know this world by heart and you keep pulse with the rapid changes happening within it – and a clear, solid understanding of the media planning and buying process
• ✦An artful ability to translate client objectives into exceptional media strategies – and communicate them clearly
• ✦Solid understanding of general advertising and direct marketing performance metrics, and a firm grasp on media research tools and how and when to most effectively use them
• ✦Willingness to travel as needed – you’re open to new places, new faces and new ideas
