The ability to write compelling, intelligent and balanced media proposals, recommendations and documents is essential. You will be confident and comfortable in pitch situations and be happy to present media ideas, in face to face environments, to mixed audiences of varying numbers. An ability to reason across multiple media channels and recommend media in a positive and robust way, whilst always maintaining a professional front and delivering proposals with context, passion and balance is essential.
