Are you a strategic media planner looking to take ownership of integrated, multi-channel campaigns?
Our client, a fast-growing, award-winning media agency in the heart of London, is looking for a Media Planning Manager to join their talented team.
💼 The Role
As Media Planning Manager, you’ll be responsible for developing strategic, insight-led media plans across Paid Social, PPC and Programmatic. This is a planning-focused role with no hands-on activation, working closely with specialist channel teams who will handle campaign execution.
You’ll take client briefs, understand their objectives and audiences, and build integrated media strategies that determine the right channels, budgets and approach to deliver against their goals.
