As the Digital Associate Media Director, you will assist in guiding the paid media strategy, identifying key metrics, and implementing complex paid digital media solutions and other emerging media channels for B2B, enterprise-sized clients.

Your plans will support client business and marketing objectives with innovative, audience-first digital media strategies and campaign tactics across all forms of digital media (e.g., programmatic, paid search, paid social, display, video, and the endemic media publishers unique to the audience, messaging, and overall objectives of the campaign). You are the day-to-day liaison between the client and the media teams. In addition to daily client-facing syncs, you will build and maintain strong relationships with new and existing media vendor communities. Through these partnerships, your strategic planning process will include early access to new in-platform features, from targeting to formats to advanced reporting analysis.

• Assist the Media Finance group in reconciling budgets with actualized expenditures
• Review ‘proof of media performance’ reports generated by the Media Activation Team in early campaign phases to ensure alignment with campaign goals, performance targets and projections
• Skilled at reviewing data, identifying key takeaways, and clearly articulating the “so what.”
