Media Director (Freelance)

ABOUT THE AGENCY:    David&Goliath is an agency that adheres to one simple philosophy: Brave. To be brave, to inspire people and brands to take on their goliaths. To create a lasting impact that the world can feel and truly embrace. This is our purpose and for over two decades, we have never wavered from it. We are not made for everyone. We are made for the few who believe that purpose isn't just a business proposition, but a way of life. And for those who believe we can achieve the unthinkable, together. David&Goliath is a collaborative, empathetic, and team-oriented culture that believes in taking on challenges that others might walk away from. Because, the truth is, nobody ever became great without first being brave.    ABOUT THIS ROLE:   We are seeking a media director with a fast, hungry mind and a deep understanding of media and creativity. You get a thrill out of helping brands identify and conquer their Goliaths with insight, strategies, and results.   You know how to pull from a wide range of inputs—decks, data, social feeds, syndicated research, platforms, AI—and quickly turn that raw material into sharp insights and recommendations for clients. You are comfortable pulling together decks and data sources and transforming it into a story with media and business-driving recommendations. You can decipher data to arrive at informed conclusions and wield words that motivate people to take action.    You're a great writer. You’re an excellent collaborator, knowing when to listen and assist and when to grab the reins and steer. You have a knack for finding strong opportunities no matter how big or small the media budget. You know how to use AI tools to work smarter and faster, and you know how to ensure your output never reads like it was written by AI.   Finally, we are a creative shop. This is an opportunity to work with the CSO to establish a media practice for a piece of business and the agency.  RESPONSIBILITIES:  Lead paid media strategy, planning, and buying, including Paid Search (Google) and Paid Social (Facebook).
