Samba is an AI-powered media intelligence company on a mission to give marketers the complete picture of their audiences. Our AI indexes media consumption across millions of smart TVs and 2.5 billion web pages, combining that data with third-party signals through the Samba Knowledge Graph, a map of the real interests, behaviors, and purchase intent of 1.5 billion user profiles globally. Brands, agencies, publishers, and platforms use Samba to make smarter decisions across every stage of the marketing funnel.


With a view into over 25 million TVs and global data, we have the largest multi-publisher measurement available. Our customers use our measurement ACR sensor and AI Platform to gain a real-time, unified view of their consumer viewing experience across all TVs and video applications while using our Audience products to optimize media delivery. 

The Programmatic Analyst Internship is an exciting opportunity to learn how the world’s largest brands and agencies utilize Samba’s data to execute their media strategies across linear TV and digital advertising. 

 

During your 3-month internship, you will work alongside Programmatic Consultants and Measurement Analysts, to apply real-time TV viewing data and gain hands-on experience in major programmatic platforms (DSPs, SSPs, DMPs, Ad Servers) such as The Trade Desk, Amazon DSP, Liveramp, and Google Ad Manager to name a few. 

 

You will play an important role in ensuring we maintain the highest standard of operational excellence and customer service across our US Programmatic and Measurement offerings. Successful candidates can expect to acquire a broad understanding of the ever-evolving advertising landscape and strong grasp of how sophisticated advertisers and agencies take advantage of contextual viewership data and measurement to achieve their marketing objectives. 

 

If you’re interested in being at the cutting edge of adtech and building a knowledge base that is directly transferable to a career in advertising, media, analytics, or product, we look forward to hearing from you.
