Media Planner Jobs in North Carolina

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.
