Job Description
We are looking for an Integrated Media Buyer with strong linear & digital video buying experience coupled with essential planning experience who demonstrates strategic and creative planning skills through data and cultural driven insights for our clients.
At Giant Spoon, we encourage our clients to prioritize impact over impressions, and to reimagine what “media” means in a commoditized media landscape. We believe in expanding how people experience brands and that boring is bad for business, and as part of that, true partnerships and not just transactions - are both effective for brands and more interesting for consumers than the one-way legacy approach.
We are looking for individuals who are passionate about the details. Qualified candidates take pleasure in getting to “do it all” at Giant Spoon, meaning you will gain experience with planning and buying across all channels - not just be relegated to one portion of the process, limiting potential for growth and holistic experience. Planners that enjoy working on projects that blur the lines between media, strategy, intelligence and creativity should apply.
This role works out of our NY office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
The anticipated annual salary range for this position is $72,000 - $80,000. Salary is determined based on a wide range of factors, including relevant experience, knowledge, skills, job duties, and geographic location.
