Vice President/Director – Media

We are the connected marketing agency, a full-service agency with modern creative & media, data, and technology services all under one roof. We are connected in the way we think and the way we work. At the heart of our company are great people that we call Unicorns. Our Unicorns are open, bold, and curious and love to solve complex problems for clients in unique ways. Right now, we’re looking for a brilliant VP/Director of Media to drive that transformation – someone who’s an expert in the field, with a broad set of stellar media, marketing and management skills. Sound like you? Read on.

What you’ll do:

You’ll take ownership and direct responsibility for management within the Media group on key accounts and overall for the team, leading strategy development and the writing of media plans – plus you’ll oversee project negotiation, implementation and performance analysis.

Day to day, your responsibilities will include:

• Translating brand marketing objectives into succinct cross-channel media strategies that impress and excite our clients, and transforming marketing challenges into platform-agnostic communications
• Providing relevant, timely cross-channel media expertise – bonding with brand team to help them truly understand why they need cross-channel marketing, and then helping them adapt their thinking and approach accordingly
• Astutely identifying broader opportunities for Digitas (creative and other services) and articulating opportunities to senior leadership in a timely, relevant manner
• Developing and understanding consumer insights and translating those insights into meaningful media behaviors and marketing strategies
• Being a “chameleon,” ably shifting and adapting to meet business demands and individual client needs
• Effectively and enthusiastically representing Digitas – you’ll be the face of our company, the person whom staff and clients alike look up to
• A willingness to travel as needed – you’re open to new places, new faces and new ideas

We’re looking for a VP/Director of Media with outstanding experience that includes:

• Four years of college education (and preferably a master’s degree) plus ten to twelve years of agency experience
• Deep familiarity with the media landscape (cross-channel) and a demonstrated ability to develop and understand consumer insights and translate those insights into meaningful marketing strategies

• An ability to think beyond just media — no matter what the solution requires, you’ll be a sharp, informed marketing advocate and expert for our clients and our team
• Knowledge of qualitative measurement approaches – online and offline – and how/when to apply them so that we deliver measurable successes

Got what it takes? We’d love to hear from you.
