Your Profile
As Media Planning Manager you will have experience working within a media agency in a planning role.

You will have detailed understanding of main research tools such as TGI, Jicrar & Jicreg etc. You will be familiar with the DDS booking and scheduling system and knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint is essential. You should also be highly educated and will have a strong commercial perspective. In addition to the above you will have excellent communication skills and should have excellent attention to detail. You should be able to cope in a pressurised environment and be flexible in contributing to the business. Ideally for this role you will have management experience, however Planning Execs ready for that next step up may be considered.
The Role
As Media Planning Manager you will utilise surveys such as those listed above coupled with bespoke in-house research and data to identify compelling facts which will form how you propose to influence the consumer through media. You will be expected to work closely with the Research Department and strategic analysts to aid you in understanding of consumers and of client business dynamics. Carrying out competitor research will also be key to this role, as well as ensuring you understand the media behaviour of the competition to identify opportunities for your clients whilst challenging the conventions that exist within the market place. Working within the team you will share responsibility for the creation of innovative and creative media strategies
for your client campaigns. You will be able to present media behaviour to your clients to give them competitive advantage, making media ideas become reality. Building detailed multi-media plans, you will bring strategy to life within the media landscape, identifying, isolating and selecting specific media channels with a clear and objective point of view. In addition to this you will be responsible for constructing clear & concise media briefings to be provided to investment teams both with clarity and within certain timescales which will allow for effective implementation of planning and buying. Once key learning's into consumer behaviour and driven innovative media solutions have been identified for your clients you will be responsible for carrying out presentations, articulating your findings in a professional manner. As this is a management role, you will take on additional responsibilities such as motivating and managing your team, showing maturity in dealing with junior staff and ensuring the effectiveness of a team working system on client's business. This is a highly responsible role; you should therefore be able to manage a heavy work load dealing with both your clients and your team.
