We are looking for a Media Supervisor who demonstrates strong foundational media expertise, and is able to produce & execute strategic and creative media plans that lean into data and culturally-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. 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. Individuals 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.
