Media Specialist Jobs in New York City, NY

A Media Specialist in the advertising industry is essentially responsible for planning, implementing, and managing all media-related aspects of advertising campaigns. They conduct thorough market research to identify the most effective media platforms for their client's specific target audience, develop media buying strategies and negotiate ad space and time slots with media outlets. They also monitor and analyze ad performance data to assess the effectiveness of campaigns and make necessary adjustments to optimize results. In addition, they collaborate with other advertising professionals, such as creative directors and copywriters, to ensure that the media strategy aligns with the overall campaign concept.

Crucial skills for a Media Specialist include excellent analytical abilities, strategic thinking, strong negotiation skills, and a deep understanding of media trends and consumer behavior.

Prior to becoming a Media Specialist, individuals might have held roles such as Media Assistant, Media Planner, or Advertising Sales Representative.
