Media Buyer Jobs in New York, NY

A Media Buyer plays a crucial role in the advertising industry by strategically purchasing ad spaces for various platforms such as television, radio, digital media, print, and outdoor advertising. Their primary responsibility is to ensure that the advertising reaches the target audiences in the most cost-effective manner. Media Buyers work closely with Media Planners to identify the best platforms and time slots to place advertisements, negotiate contracts with media outlets, monitor the performance of the advertisements, and make necessary adjustments to maximize the return on investment. They also need to stay updated with emerging media trends and consumer behaviors to make informed buying decisions.

The important skills for a Media Buyer include strong negotiation skills, analytical skills, attention to detail, and excellent communication skills. They should also be proficient in media buying software and tools, understanding of media metrics, and have a good grasp of market research. Although not always required, certifications such as Google Ads Certification, Facebook Blueprint Certification, or a Certification in Media Buying can provide an edge in the job market. Prior to becoming a Media Buyer, a person may have roles such as a Media Assistant, Media Coordinator, or Media Planner which gives them the necessary experience and understanding of the industry.
