NEWaukee is a brand engagement agency that helps businesses and organizations find innovative ways to engage their audiences. Our clients range from local favorites to nationally recognized brands, and we’re known for bringing high energy, fresh ideas, and real results to everything we touch.

We’re looking for a Media Strategist in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area to grow our creative services team. This role will serve as a key client-facing partner, leading account management responsibilities while developing and executing media strategies across channels.

Serve as the day-to-day contact for assigned clients, ensuring clear communication and proactive updates.

Lead weekly client meetings, preparing and presenting decks that clearly summarize progress, performance, and next steps.

Develop media strategies that align with client goals, spanning digital (paid social, search, display) and traditional channels (radio, D / OOH, TV).

Keep projects highly organized : maintain shared timelines, budget spreadsheets, campaign calendars, and client-ready reports.

Build and manage relationships with media vendors, ensuring seamless execution across buys.

Provide detailed creative briefs and collaborate with other team members to align messaging and creative; present assets to clients for approval.

Monitor campaign performance, optimize in real time, and deliver clear insights and recommendations.

Track hours and maintain accurate documentation across projects.

Support client activations and events on-site (some nights / weekends required; some travel required; schedules shared in advance).

Who You Are

Detail-obsessed and organized : you create systems, track progress, and make it easy for others to follow your work. You can juggle client nuances without missing a beat.

Confident communicator : you’re comfortable leading client conversations, building trust, and presenting with clarity.

Tech-savvy — you understand AI tools and are already leveraging them as part of your daily workflow. You are not afraid to learn new tools or platforms.

Positive and resourceful : you tackle challenges with energy, optimism, and a "how might we" mindset.

Curious and growth-minded : you bring fresh ideas, embrace feedback, and look for ways to continuously improve.

Decisive and reliable : you can make informed calls and stand behind them with thoughtful reasoning.

What You’ll Need

3+ years of experience in media planning, buying, or account management (agency background a plus).

Strong organizational and project management skills with a track record of keeping multiple campaigns moving simultaneously.

Proficiency in creating client-facing decks and reporting dashboards.

Strong understanding of paid digital platforms (Meta, Google Ads, YouTube, etc.)

Strong understanding of traditional media planning / buying.

Excellent client communication and relationship-building skills.

Analytical mindset with ability to translate data into actionable recommendations.

Ability and excitement to work at dynamic live events (occasional nights / weekends).

Must be based in the Milwaukee, WI area. (Hybrid role – office on Thursdays + client meetings / events).

Why Join Us?

Real Growth Opportunities — team members have led and launched entirely new service areas based on their skills and passions.

Culture of Positivity and Curiosity — we believe in "making new possible" and supporting each other along the way.

Fast-Paced, High-Energy Environment — you’ll learn more here in months than many learn in years elsewhere.

This isn’t the right role for everyone. It’s fast and dynamic. But if you’re excited to stretch yourself, build your skills quickly, and have fun doing it, we’d love to hear from you.
