This probably belongs in Trade and Sell, but here goes:


Media Buyer

A mobile online marketing division at Sony Pictures Entertainment is looking for a talented Media Buyer. He/she will be part of an online marketing team and will primarily be buying WAP inventory, and, secondarily, managing web CPM and CPC accounts.

This business minded and quantitative individual will take WAP/Web CPM leads from the Sales team (or prospect their own leads), sign the deal after investigative calls, launch the campaign with internal creative assets, and manage and optimize the campaign from the beginning to the end. The Media buyer will work with the design team and Director of Sales and Marketing to create WAP/Web landing pages and banners.

In addition, the Media Buyer will work closely with our tech team, product managers, and compliance team to create profitable media buying campaigns. The Media Buyer will be responsible for closely monitoring the Web/WAP accounts to find the best solution for profitability for the account. Daily communication with clients will be necessary for effective account management. Optimization of the campaign will require a full understanding and application of: CPM/CPC metrics, mobile carrier compliance regulations, target demographics and segmentation, creative management (banners and landing pages), source URL’s, frequency caps and strategic expenditures of funds. Some travel will be required as this person will need to meet with clients and attend trade shows to find new leads. As the media buyer will communicate daily with clients, strong negotiation and business development skills will be needed for this position in order to reach sales targets.

Requirements:
· 4 year Bachelors degree
· 2+ years media buying at an online direct response company
· Strong communication, negotiation, quantitative, business development and organizational skills
· Extensive experience in CPM/CPC/CPA online marketing, campaign development and performance analysis
· Extensive experience in WAP media buying
· Proficiency with tracking and reporting systems
· Extensive experience analyzing, quantifying and recording performance metrics
· Proven track record managing budgets to meet ROI goals
· Excellent computer skills: excel, word, and power point

In Addition:
· Previous experience at a Mobile direct response company a plus
· Experience with using an Ad server a plus
· Extensive rolodex of clients a plus

Salary is commensurate with experience. Please send your resume to tyson.su@spe.sony.com with the subject: Media Buyer.
 


I have no intention in applying whatsoever but it amazes me that their #1 requirement is a 4 year degree, which, I'm sure, will guarantee 400% ROI right away. lol. Most successful mediabuyers I've met in the direct response space (nope, not just talking about acai here) didn't even finish their first year in college.

Either way, props for posting this in here. I hope you guys find someone suitable.

They need someone who has at least 4 years of experience not doing anything related to the position they're trying to fill.
 
I happen to fulfill all of those requirements because after dropping out of school I came back and finished up so I could still party it up with my college buddies. But the more important question here is, why would anyone take up a salaried position at a monolithic corporation if they have "extensive experience" in the CPA field, meaning they probably know how to make whatever Sony is offering per year in a month. The arrogance of these fortune 500 companies is quite staggering; ironically I was running direct for a major offer some time in the past and was offered a salaried position, to which I replied that I'd do it for ten times the money, if I only had to come to the office once a month, and if I could bring my bong with me when I did. Taisun, you're SOL if you're looking for legit talent with your "offer".
 
And this is why big companies suck at everything folks.
 
the OP bumped it.

Either way nobody is gonna sign up for a corp job with that much experience. and if they do, you know they ain't worth a shit because they can easily make a lot more money than you guys care to offer if they knew what they were doing.

Having Media Buying Skills != Being an Entrepeneur


Some people (thankfully not me) value a consistent paycheck more than a potentially higher income from working for themselves. If you have a bad month you can lose a lot of money in media buying, and I'm sure there are some very good media buyers who have had that happen to them and want to avoid having that happen ever again by taking a 9-5.
