What You'll Do
As a Media Strategist, you’ll research, experiment, and optimize in both the traditional and digital spaces. You will collaborate with in-house developers, designers, animators, illustrators, video producers, copywriters, and the account team to build strategies that generate results. From negotiating rates with media outlets and vendors to presenting trends, successes, and opportunities to clients, you will be challenged to pursue what is next over what is now. You’ll also feel peer pressure to have Star Wars toys in your workspace—you can pick the trilogy.
