  • Maintain good rapport with sales representatives and vendors; push vendors to work collaboratively to deliver original solutions to satisfy client needs
  • Explore media alternatives and be naturally innovative in recommending media solutions; determine the solution, deliver the recommendation, and stand behind it
  • Manage and train all team members
  • Conduct work and performance reviews, inductions, and staff training
  • Be revenue conscious and set accurate revenue targets and projections
  • Create, maintain, and analyse sound strategic media plans based on comprehensive research
