Epicosity: Media Buyer/Planner

At Epicosity, we're a full-service growth partner helping clients in higher education, financial services, and cause marketing build campaigns that drive real, measurable results. We're growing our media team — and we're looking for a strategic, relationship-driven Media Buyer/Planner to help us do it right.

This role sits at the intersection of art and science: part strategist, part negotiator, part analyst. You'll craft comprehensive media plans that move audiences across both traditional and digital channels — and you'll own the process from first brief to final post-campaign report.

What You'll Do:

Strategy & Planning

• Develop and implement cross-channel media strategies that connect client campaigns with the right audiences at the right time

• Use research data and audience insights to craft media plans that maximize impact within budget

• Partner with the Strategy & Insights Team and Account Executives to align on goals, audience segmentation, budget, and timing

Campaign Execution

• Build and manage comprehensive media plans spanning traditional channels (outdoor, radio, print, broadcast/cable TV) and digital channels (social, programmatic, search)

• Handle media asset trafficking across platforms and coordinate with DSPs for programmatic buying

• Collaborate with the Digital Media Specialist on tracking setup, tagging, dashboarding, and reporting to ensure seamless execution

Budget Management

• Create and evaluate media plan options aligned to client objectives while maximizing ROI

• Negotiate advertising rates and secure optimal placements through strong vendor relationships

Performance & Reporting

• Analyze campaign performance, surface actionable insights, and recommend optimizations

• Present post-campaign reports and develop case studies that highlight wins and support new business opportunities

Thought Leadership

• Stay ahead of industry trends and emerging media capabilities and bring those insights back to the team

• Contribute to improving paid media processes for planning, management, and measurement

• Pursue ongoing professional development, including platform certifications

What We're Looking For:

Platform Experience:

• Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, LinkedIn Campaign Manager

• The Trade Desk (TTD) and other DSPs

• Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Customer Data Platforms (CDPs)

• Data visualization tools: Looker Data Studio, Power BI

• Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets

Core Competencies:

• Strong strategic thinking with the ability to build media plans from a brief and see them through to completion

• Skilled negotiator with a talent for building and maintaining productive vendor relationships

• Data-driven mindset with the ability to turn campaign performance into clear, client-ready insights

• Excellent communicator — equally comfortable presenting to clients and collaborating across internal teams

• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and capable of managing multiple campaigns simultaneously

If you're a media pro who loves the strategy as much as the execution — and you want to do meaningful work for clients making a difference — we'd love to connect.
