Bully Pulpit Interactive is an outcomes agency made up of strategists, data scientists, and artists. We come from politics, brands, and government and we communicate without barriers and measure what matters. BPI specializes in public affairs, corporate reputation, and social impact. A growing firm, we sit on both coasts and connect Silicon Valley technology, Madison Avenue creative, Washington policy and real people.
The Impact You Will Make
This role offers the unique opportunity to drive a rapidly growing offering at BPI and directly engage with major client projects.
In this role, you’ll:
- Shape the future of our convergent TV offering. Consumption habits continue to shift towards streaming media, but linear TV remains critical for many and ultimately budgets should be determined with an audience-first, media agnostic lens. You’ll help drive the strategic and tactical approach across the agency for a single video offering that spans digital and traditional media.
- Drive media strategy and planning work for clients across channels. Working in close coordination with our Client Service, Insights, and Creative teams, you’ll develop media plans to hit client KPIs, work with internal buyers and external vendors to place media, and rigorously optimize for outcomes.
What the Day-to-Day Looks Like
- Serve as a subject matter expert for internal + external clients, developing both thought leadership and training material
- Work with senior agency leadership to shape our positioning in the convergent TV marketplace, along with technology and data investments
- Create media strategies + plans for traditional and digital media by analyzing audience consumption habits. Lead media campaigns for clients from concept to execution
- Develop pricing and investment strategies for BPI and individual clients, including rate card and upfront negotiations
Requirements
- 8-12 years experience in paid media. Deep experience with local buying strongly preferred
- Strong relationships with stations, broadcasters, and tech platforms. You know who to call for the latest pricing intel, and are a go-to person for vendors to get feedback on new offerings
- Knowledge of traditional and digital ad tech stacks. You can jump between Nielsen ratings and programmatic inventory forecasts and have a strong opinion on the quality of different ACR datasets
- Ability to communicate with technical buyers but translate strategy and tactics into a clear ROI for senior marketing clients
- Intellectually curious with a strong sense of data intuition and critical thinking. You think in first principles and are able to spot discrepancies in a data set from a mile away.
- A product-focused mindset. After you’ve done a task for the first time, you can articulate a plan to scale and systematize it across a team
