What's this position about?

If you have a passion for gaming, advertising, and data and are ready for a challenging and rewarding career, it's time to level up with us!

We put data-driven insights, analytics, and player behavior at the core of everything we do. More than just a media agency, we operate like a laboratory - constantly testing, refining, and evolving our approach to be the best possible extension of our clients' teams.

By deeply understanding player motivations and market dynamics, we craft strategies that don't just drive awareness but turn games into cultural phenomena. From high-level strategic planning to executing precision-targeted digital campaigns across display, social, page takeovers, digital video, and beyond, we make every decision with data, impact, and innovation in mind.

Note that this is a position for people with experience in media buying. This is not an appropriate position for creative and brand strategists.

What's this position about?

As our next Media Strategist, you will develop, execute, and optimize comprehensive media buying strategies for our clients. In this highly competitive role, you will leverage your data and communication skillset to drive results in media operations, campaign execution and analysis, and strategic planning, ensuring alignment with client objectives and agency best practices. You will collaborate extensively with internal teams and may have opportunities for client-facing interactions.

What You'll Do

Develop, execute, and manage innovative, data-driven paid media strategies across various digital and traditional channels (e.g., social, display, video, programmatic, influencer)
Own the end-to-end campaign lifecycle, including planning, setup, trafficking, QA, monitoring, optimization, and reporting
Work with teams on in-depth market research, competitive analysis, and audience segmentation to identify strategic opportunities and inform campaign development
Analyze campaign performance data to generate actionable insights and provide strategic recommendations for optimization and future campaigns
Manage campaign budgets effectively, ensuring optimal pacing, spend allocation, and achievement of KPIs
Collaborate closely with internal teams (e.g., creative, analytics, account management) to ensure integrated and impactful campaign execution
Develop the ability to prepare and present strategic recommendations, campaign performance reports, and insights to internal stakeholders and potentially clients
Stay at the forefront of emerging trends, tools, platforms, and best practices in digital media, advertising technology, and the gaming industry
Contribute to new business pitches and proposals as needed

Please note this is an opportunity to join our media strategy and buying teams, not for creative strategy/execution.

At least 3 years of ad agency experience working with major clients on multi-channel digital media campaigns
Experience with fast learning and implementation

Relationship building: Expertise in building and maintaining strong relationships with clients, vendors, and peers, understanding their unique needs, and managing their expectations
Delegation and time management: Ability to effectively delegate tasks to team members while managing personal time and understanding the importance of tasks and their impact on the team's development
Problem-solving and critical thinking: Resourcefulness and skill in identifying and resolving challenges that may arise during the media planning, buying, and activation process, always backed by data and quickly shared with the team and managers
