Job Description
This independent media agency has built its reputation backing ambitious organisations that want to punch above their weight. They work with purpose-led brands and charities, helping them compete with much larger players through smart thinking, strong media fundamentals and a no-nonsense approach. Curious, gutsy and fast-moving, the team believes it's not the size of the budget that matters; it's the scale of the ambition behind it.
The role
This is a rare opportunity to step straight into a hands-on media role and gain exposure across the full campaign lifecycle. You'll support the planning and buying of campaigns while learning how media works end to end, from insight and strategy through to execution, optimisation and reporting.
While you'll be exposed to a broad mix of channels including TV, press, out of home, radio and digital, the role has a strong focus on digital and TV media. You'll help set up and optimise campaigns, manage tagging, support reporting and gradually take on more responsibility as your confidence and capability grow.
You'll work closely with a supportive, experienced team and be involved in award-winning campaigns for well-known charities and purpose-driven organisations.
You'll sit within a close-knit team made up of senior executives, planner-buyers, account managers and account directors, led by a business director. Learning is taken seriously here; you'll receive structured on-the-job training, external training with industry partners and encouragement to attend industry events.
The culture is collaborative, curious and supportive, with real investment in personal development and progression. What you're good at
