  • Contribute to agency growth by identifying opportunities to offer additional services to existing clients and introduce new clients.
  • Maintain relationships with media vendors and develop platform, publisher, and brand partnerships.

What You’ve Got:

  • Experience buying and planning across multiple digital media channels with depth in a majority of the following:
    • Social: Facebook/Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Pinterest, LinkedIn, TikTok
    • Programmatic Display/Video (DV360, The Trade Desk, etc.)
    • Publisher/Partner Direct
    • Digital Audio (Spotify, Pandora, etc.)
  • Fluency with analytics, attribution, and measurement systems (e.g., Google Analytics, MOAT/IAS/DoubleVerify).
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify opportunities and recommend effective solutions.
  • Proficiency in Excel (pivot tables, V-LookUps, macros) and ability to work in-platform.
  • Ability to present complex information clearly and concisely, and distill actionable insights.
  • Proven ability to provide constructive feedback, advocate for the team, and deliver kind candor.
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Demonstrates a collaborative, empathetic, and proactive approach, building strong working relationships and fostering a positive team environment. Understands the importance of listening, valuing diverse perspectives, and supporting colleagues to achieve shared goals.
