About The Position

At Drake Cooper, we believe great media work is equal parts strategy, curiosity, and execution. We’re looking for a Digital Media Buying Specialist who’s excited to roll up their sleeves and help bring smart, well-built digital campaigns to life across a mix of agency clients.
In this role, you’ll focus on buying and managing multiple digital channels, turning approved media plans into campaigns that run smoothly, pace properly, and deliver results. Media plans will outline the key details: budget, timing, audience, and channel mix, and you’ll be the person ensuring everything is executed with precision and performance in mind.
You’ll work across a broad range of channels such as programmatic, streaming (CTV), display, native, and digital audio, with the opportunity to support additional formats like digital out-of-home (DOOH) and whatever’s next. We’re looking for someone who enjoys the day-to-day of campaign buying and optimization, but also keeps an eye on what’s changing in the industry, and brings that knowledge back to the team.
This is a hands-on role where you’ll be responsible for launching buys, monitoring pacing and performance, making optimizations, sharing out results, and partnering with outside platforms or vendor teams when needed. You’ll report to the Sr. Manager, Digital Media and collaborate closely with Media Planners, Digital Specialists, Ad Ops, Analytics, and Creative to deliver work we’re proud of.
If you’re someone who’s detail-oriented, performance-minded, and energized by teamwork and continuous learning, we’d love to connect.
