Media Planner Jobs

A Media Planner in the advertising industry is responsible for identifying which media platforms would best advertise a client's brand or product. They play a crucial role in increasing a brand's visibility among its target audience by strategically placing ads in the most impactful platforms, which could range from digital, print, television, radio, and outdoor advertising. Their duties include researching targeted markets, monitoring buying strategies, tracking advertising spending, and analyzing consumer data to optimize advertising campaigns. They also collaborate closely with clients, marketing teams, and other stakeholders to ensure that advertising efforts align with the client's business objectives and budget.

Important skills for a Media Planner include excellent analytical abilities, strong communication skills, and good understanding of media channels and trends. They should also have a firm grasp of market research techniques and data analysis. While not mandatory, a certification such as the Google Ads certification or a Facebook Blueprint certification may boost a media planner's career. Prior to becoming a Media Planner, a person may have roles such as a Media Assistant, Marketing Coordinator, or Media Buyer. All these roles provide valuable experience in researching market trends, creating marketing strategies, and understanding consumer behavior, which are crucial in media planning.
