What Will I Do?

Lead How We Buy Media

You'll own the buying approach for approved local awareness investments across traditional and digital channels.

You'll establish portfolio-wide standards for negotiation, placement, partner selection, documentation, pacing, and optimization and lead commercial conversations around rates, placements, added value, terms, and make-goods.

You'll have meaningful autonomy over day-to-day negotiation, placement, vendor management, pacing, delivery, and optimization within approved strategies and budgets.

Turn Strategy Into Effective Media Buys

Turn approved market strategies into executable, trackable media buys.

That means translating strategy into clear audience, geography, reach, frequency, timing, placement, cost, and measurement requirements while managing campaign calendars, trafficking, insertion orders, deployment schedules, and proof of performance.

Optimize Performance

The work doesn't stop once the media is purchased.

You'll monitor spend, delivery, audience quality, traffic, search activity, lead trends, revenue, and capacity signals throughout campaigns and use that information to optimize across channels, vendors, audiences, placements, and dayparts.

Get More From Our Media Partners

We want someone who knows how to build strong media partnerships—and also knows how to hold those partners accountable.

You'll push for the right rates, placements, inventory, added value, make-goods, documentation, and performance while using Wrench's portfolio scale to create greater value across our markets.

Do I Have What it akes?

• Experience combining traditional and digital media to create effective market-specific buys.
