Media Strategist (TV & Streaming)

Location: Remote (except California)
Status: Full-Time

At Marketing Architects, we believe TV advertising is still the most powerful marketing channel. But the typical process for TV is expensive, difficult to scale and to measure. So we flipped the traditional approach on its head and rebuilt the agency model with the client in mind. Today, we're growing a team of talent from across the United States to reimagine how brands advertise on TV.

You’ll support the development of integrated TV media strategies across a portfolio of clients. Internally, we refer to this role a Media Solutions Manager. Reporting to the Media Solutions Director, you’ll play a key role in building media plan components, analyzing campaign performance and improving how we translate strategy into execution.

This role is ideal for someone with agency media planning experience who wants deeper exposure to integrated linear and streaming TV strategy, campaign optimization and cross-functional collaboration.

What you'll do:

• Build smart media plans: Support development of integrated TV strategies that align to client KPIs, balancing linear and streaming approaches.

• Translate strategy into execution: Document goals, budgets and KPIs clearly so Investment and Analytics teams can activate with precision.

• Analyze performance: Pull campaign data, identify trends and surface insights that improve results each planning cycle.

• Contribute POVs and insights: Research market trends and category dynamics to support Media POVs and strategic storytelling.

• Improve how we work: Strengthen planning workflows and documentation to make cross-functional collaboration smoother and faster.

Who you are:

• An agency-trained planner: 2+ years in media planning or strategy, ideally supporting integrated campaigns.

• TV fluent: Experience with linear and/or streaming media is required.

• Data-literate: You interpret performance data, identify trends, and connect insights back to defined KPIs to inform decisions.

• Strategically curious: You want to understand not just what worked, but why and how to make it better next time.

• Strong in Excel and PowerPoint: Comfortable using Excel formulas to organize data and building polished, client-ready slides in PowerPoint.

• Presentation-ready: You’ve built decks in PowerPoint that explain strategy or campaign results clearly.

Our values:

• Hungry Humble Smart: We seek a trifecta of talent. We take initiative and act with urgency. Look inwards before outwards. Value EQ over IQ.

• Mindset Matters: Success starts between our ears. We face challenges with a calm confidence and pivot quickly. As eternal optimists, we know we are capable of great things and have survived worse. Our best days are always ahead.

• Team Is Hero: We, not me. Being a hero is a team sport and it's the unique talents of many that make us one of a kind. No one person can win the day, but great teams can change the world.

• Rebel Against Ordinary: We reject the ordinary to deliver the extraordinary. We are contrarians by choice. We take the path less chosen and if the way forward isn't clear, we will create it.

• Relentless Learning: We never stop learning. The next book. The next podcast. The next big idea. Driven to broaden what we know. Because the more we discover what we don't, the more exciting the journey becomes.

We offer rewarding careers that encourage growth while providing industry-leading benefits including:

• 100% employer-paid medical, dental and disability, with vision option

• Generous 401(k) matching

• Flexible paid time off, 9 paid holidays plus 2 floating holidays
