We're looking for a commercially minded Media Planner Buyer Executive or Account Manager with strong experience in planning and buying trade media, ideally across channels such as OOH/outdoor, radio, trade press, digital display and specialist B2B media.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a property, estate agency and PropTech focused marketing business where you'll plan, buy, coordinate and deliver trade media campaigns for clients across the residential property sector. The role would suit someone currently working as a Media Planner Buyer, Media Executive, Account Executive, Account Manager or Trade Media Planner who is confident managing media schedules, supplier relationships and client campaign delivery.
You'll be someone who understands how trade media campaigns are planned, negotiated, booked, activated and reported on, and who is comfortable working with clients, internal teams, media owners and specialist suppliers. Experience in property marketing media would be highly advantageous, but just as important is a strong grounding in media planning, media buying, campaign administration and performance reporting.
The Role
