Media Planner

YOUR NEW OPPORTUNITY

Anthem is looking for a talented Media Planner to support our busy campaign period on a 3-month contract. You’ll play a key role in shaping smart, effective media strategies for some of the country’s most exciting live events — collaborating with our internal teams and trusted media partners to deliver campaigns that reach, engage, and inspire audiences.

If you’re a strategic thinker with hands-on media planning experience and a passion for arts, culture, and live entertainment, we’d love to hear from you.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

• Develop media plans and channel strategies (digital and offline) in line with client objectives, audience profiles, and campaign goals. 

• Work closely with media buying agency partners — liaising on placements, negotiating deals, managing insertion orders, budgeting and invoicing. 

• Analyse target audiences: research media habits, identify suitable media channels (online display/paid social/search; as well as traditional offline media, where appropriate), and craft media mix recommendations. 

• Collaborate with internal teams — Creative, Account Management, Strategy — to ensure media plans integrate with broader campaign activity.  

• Monitor and optimise campaign performance (where applicable), working with vendors/buying agencies to track delivery, campaign pacing, budget usage, and support reporting, analysis, and post-campaign insights.  

• Prepare media proposals, cost schedules, and client-facing documentation, present media strategies, rationales and performance recommendations via internal or client meetings.   

ABOUT YOU

Experience & Background 

• Minimum 3 years’ experience in media planning (digital and/or traditional), within an agency context.   

• Demonstrated ability to plan across multiple media channels (digital display/social/search, potentially offline or traditional media) and manage relationships with media vendors or media buying partners.   

• Demonstrated ability to review and interpret digital dashboards, guide optimisation requests and deliver reporting.  

Skills & Attributes 

• Strong analytical mindset, comfortable working with data and research to shape media strategy and make media-mix recommendations.   

• Excellent communication and presentation skills — able to translate media insights and plans into clear, compelling recommendations for internal teams and clients.   

• Highly organised and detail-oriented: capable of managing multiple campaigns and channels, budgets, insertion orders/invoicing, and reporting under tight deadlines.   

• Collaborative and proactive — comfortable working across internal and external stakeholders (creatives, account teams, media-buying agencies, clients) to deliver cohesive and effective campaigns.   

• Passion for live events, culture or entertainment, and enthusiastic about contributing to high-impact campaigns that drive real results.
