Job Opening
Media Strategist
Do you have what it takes to work as part of a team in the fast-moving and ever-changing industry of advertising? Lawrence & Schiller is seeking a Media Strategist to work with the best talent and clients in the region. The winning candidate will be part of our Message Delivery discipline, focusing on delivering meaningful brand experiences. Candidates must exhibit strategic and creative thinking to develop and execute message delivery plans that position creative strategies to reach and engage with individual client audience segments.
In addition to working with the best clients in the region, this candidate will also work in a one-of-a-kind team atmosphere with some of the area’s most talented advertising professionals. Collaboration with account service, creative and other disciplines is encouraged for a uniquely team-based atmosphere where your voice matters. Responsibilities include (but aren’t limited to):
- Our clients rely on Media Strategies to reach their customers, meaning you’re responsible for maintaining ownership of message delivery strategies and managing paid placement strategies for assigned accounts/markets, ensuring the accuracy of final product, communicating new industry opportunities and reporting as needed.
- Acting as a market specialist with the ability to analyze media alternatives and make recommendations based on current marketplace conditions and assigned target audiences.
- The media world is constantly changing, so keeping up-to-date on the conditions of client industries is essential, including gathering and analyzing relevant ratings and performance data on an ongoing basis.
- Organizing and prioritizing workload efficiently and effectively while meeting set deadlines on a regular basis.
- There is an “I” in “media,” but there is no “I” in “team.” A Media Strategist must effectively manage and work with other team members to manage back-end functions such as discrepancy resolution, order verification and the tracking of preemptions and makegoods.
- At Lawrence & Schiller, we believe insight, inspiration and creativity can come from anywhere. Candidates must be able to work as an integral team member in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. This includes participating in planning/creative meetings, ideating message delivery strategies, developing presentations and client deliverables, managing all client reporting and campaign assessment.
- Change is the only constant in advertising. This candidate must be flexible and willing to adapt to an ever-changing work environment.
- Must have excellent communication skills, always focusing on maintaining healthy relationships with clients, media vendors and team members. Must have the ability to manage the flow of information between all disciplines within the agency as well as the media sales community.
