POSITION SUMMARY

Modo Modo is looking for a B2B Media Director to help support our Global B2B clients with media strategies and help us expand our in-house media discipline and team. As a critical member of our team, you work closely with the Strategy team, senior Account team members, our Creative Director, our clients’ in-house media/metrics teams and third-party media firms to plan and activate media. 

You are focused on driving, developing and activating strategic digital campaigns across paid social, paid search and programmatic, optimizing the campaigns for success, and using insights about performance to inform future strategies.
