Need someone who can pick up a media brief and carry it all the way through? This person can. They understand the strategy, build the integrated plan, buy across channels, stay close to performance and step into client conversations when the media detail matters. With a decade of UK agency experience, a business gets genuine breadth without needing different people to connect every stage of delivery. 

Most recently, they worked inside a small independent agency where the media team owned the work end to end. Their planning and buying covered BVOD, OOH, radio, print, podcasts, paid social, programmatic and YouTube, with hands-on Meta campaign setup and optimisation alongside supplier and self-serve programmatic activity. They are used to moving quickly, managing budgets and keeping execution tied back to the wider strategy. 

There is solid client leadership behind the buying experience too. Earlier agency roles put them directly in front of fast-moving clients, handling briefs, campaign delivery, media-owner relationships and tight turnarounds. That makes them particularly useful in teams where the planner cannot disappear once the plan is signed off. They can stay close to the work and explain what is happening clearly. 

Calm, articulate and comfortable taking ownership, they are drawn to environments where people are trusted to do good work without unnecessary layers. They have recently arrived in New Zealand, are initially Auckland-based but open to opportunities anywhere in the country and can start within a week. They are particularly open to freelance, temporary and contract work.
