·     Understand the fundamentals of media planning, including terminology, media math, planning processes, and measurement.

·     Identify relevant media behaviors, platforms, partners, and emerging opportunities that can strengthen creative ideas.

·     Partner closely with Brand Strategy, Creative, Account Management, media agencies, and external partners.

·     Help translate creative ideas into actionable communications plans.

·     Manage assigned workstreams proactively, keeping projects moving and stakeholders informed.

·     Present strategic thinking clearly and confidently to internal teams and clients.

·     Stay immersed in media, culture, technology, advertising, and how ideas spread.

What qualities are we looking for?

·     Curious, analytical, and creatively minded.

·     Able to connect disparate pieces of information into a bigger picture.

·     Clear and concise thinker and communicator.

·     Proactive and dependable in managing work and deadlines.

·     Comfortable working across disciplines and asking good questions.

·     Strong point of view, balanced with openness to collaboration.

·     Excited by both ideas and the mechanics required to make them happen.

What skills and experience should you already possess?

·     Approximately 2-4 years of relevant experience in communications planning, media strategy, advertising, marketing, or a related discipline.

·     Working knowledge of media terminology, channels, planning processes, and basic media math.

·     Strong research and analytical skills.

·     Strong PowerPoint/Google Slides and Excel/Google Sheets skills.

·     Experience developing and presenting strategic recommendations.

·     Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines with limited supervision.
