This position is fully remote and can be located anywhere in the United States working from a home office.

What You Will Do

This position is a critical component of a client team within Goodway, and requires comfort with occasional client contact, although not client ownership working with both brand direct and agency clients. You will:

• Develop integrated media plans based on client's goals and target audience. Media evaluation should include all appropriate channels with weighted budget investments based on clients' media strategy, business objectives, and customer journey.
• Devising and structuring campaign and advertiser measurement strategy
• Reviewing/verifying media buys to ensure proper execution during the campaign launch process.
• Receiving input from Client Experience, Client Strategy, and Media Solutions within your assigned teams and using research and forecasting tools to in turn develop strategic media plans.
• Managing campaign budgets and the negotiation/purchase of non-biddable media, inclusive of maintaining rapport with digital media vendors, publishers, etc. to keep up with the latest features, and new buying opportunities.
• Preparing budget breakout flowcharts based upon the media brief and/or the marketing strategy.
• Collaborating with client service and strategy teams to develop comprehensive go-to-market client plans, including slide development
• Assisting in the strategic analysis of campaigns, and drawing conclusions to improve performance of future flights.
• Facilitating the media plan handoff with Media Solutions Managers (activation team) so that it is clear enough to be set up and optimized well.
• Presenting media plans alongside Client Experience on key accounts.
• Participate in new business opportunities as required.
• Play an active role in understanding emerging media opportunities and identifying how to solve client business problems with innovative ideas

Who You Are

• Knowledgeable: You have a BA/BS and a minimum of 2 years of media planning experience with large brands.
• Strategic Expert: You have digital media planning expertise across digital channels including search, social, display, and video (inclusive of programmatic,) connected TV, digital audio, and digital out-of-home (but not limited to). You are able to connect how the media plan will be measured to form a continuous loop of strategic planning and accurate measurement.
• Tactical: You have basic knowledge of campaign execution with DSPs, bid management tools, social buying platforms, ad servers, DMPs, and 3rd party data. You are highly confident in developing detailed spreadsheets as well as presentations.
• Innovative: You are eager to test new platforms and quickly learn what works, what doesn’t, and why. You can articulate what you expect to happen as the output of a plan and actively seek to make improvements to existing campaign plans and consistently connect with team members to understand what is performing or not. You’re a problem solver.
• Organized: You’re able to effectively manage multiple things, competing priorities, and several requests at one time, through intentional time management and good prioritization.

Things You Should Know

• Our workdays can sometimes be long and unpredictable. You should be comfortable and capable of sitting and/or standing at a desk for at least 8 hours.
• Twice per year, we gather together to work and play for a week. Both retreats are “can’t miss” events (this year offered virtually and on-site!). There may also be other opportunities to travel depending on your specific role and business needs.
• This job description does not proscribe or restrict the tasks that may be assigned. This job description is subject to change at any time.
