Who are we:

Mediahub is a full-service media agency with a unique structure and client offer. We grew out of creative agency MullenLowe in the hot crucible of the digital and data revolution that has transformed media over the last ten years.

We believe media’s strongest growth lever is innovation. AI and algorithms are useful for efficiency but lead brands to say similar things in similar places to similar audiences. Effectiveness comes from innovation, and innovation comes from creativity. At Mediahub, our positioning, More Pilot, Less Auto, offers clients an antidote to the ‘mindless media’ that results from automation, bringing active stewardship to deliver media effectiveness.

We offer the best of both worlds: an entrepreneurial culture backed by the global scale of Mediabrands. You’ll join an agency that’s full of energy, experimentation and ambition. We’re a home for pilots, not passengers.

We live by our values:

• Anticipate Tomorrow. We don’t wait for the future, we build it. We listen hard, act early, spot shifts in the media landscape before they land, and shape what comes next
• Perform with Pride. Excellence isn’t an outcome, it’s a mindset. We care deeply about our responsibility to deep craft, to each other, and the world around us
• Turn No into Next. Rejection doesn’t stop us, it sharpens us. We turn rejection into redirection
• Question What Others Won’t. We challenge the comfortable, embrace experiments, and ask questions without fear of failure
• Fight Inertia. Momentum comes from openness. We resist complacency by listening fully, sharing boldly, and acting with intent
• Be Brave. The riskiest thing is playing it safe. Bravery gets us to ideas others will never reach.

The Media Planner and Buyer will be the day-to-day steward for New Balance across EMEA. The person in this role will be required to maintain a strong knowledge of the clients' business to deliver against their needs and objectives.

You will help craft and execute innovative multi-channel media campaigns that deliver against New Balance’s core objectives. Leveraging your expertise in media planning and buying, you’ll push boundaries to deliver high-impact brand awareness campaigns for major sponsored events like the London and Valencia Marathons while adopting a more tactical approach for product launches. This role offers the opportunity to shape standout campaigns that capture attention, engage audiences, and elevate the brand on a global stage.

Knowledge:

• Display a mastery of media fundamentals across all channels both online and offline such as TV, OOH, CTV, Digital Display and Social

• Demonstrate proficiency with industry systems/tools (TGI, GWI, YouGov Audience Console, Nielsen etc)
• Support ideation, meet regularly with Media Owners and keep up to date with industry news, so that you are abreast of developments and can talk confidently to clients about new, innovative solutions and in doing so, continue to push the boundaries of their marketing so that we are consistently delivering the most effective solutions for them.
• Strategic thinking: Understand the client’s business, the industry in which they operate, their business and campaign objectives and the difference between those two. Understand how to build stories to deliver insights in an effective and convincing way to drive media recommendations.
• Planning: Understand the media mix, phasing, targeting, key partners, and the detail behind media.
• Relationships: Build trustworthy relationships internally, with agency partners and with clients
• Buying: Comfortable with using booking systems (Prisma and MX) and billing processes so that invoices are sent out and paid on time. Should also have an eye on commercial opportunities, from barter to short term offers, in order to leverage maximum value for both the client and the business.
• Ideation: Thinking a little differently when it comes to problem-solving, to design innovative, creative solutions and delivering them to clients in an engaging and coherent way.
• Team building: Supervise, mentor and grow Executive Planners and Apprentices.

Who Are We:

Mediahub is a full-service media agency with a unique structure and client offer. We grew out of creative agency MullenLowe in the hot crucible of the digital and data revolution that has transformed media over the last ten years.

We believe media’s strongest growth lever is innovation. AI and algorithms are useful for efficiency but lead brands to say similar things in similar places to similar audiences. Effectiveness comes from innovation, and innovation comes from creativity. At Mediahub, our positioning, More Pilot, Less Auto, offers clients an antidote to the ‘mindless media’ that results from automation, bringing active stewardship to deliver media effectiveness.

We offer the best of both worlds: an entrepreneurial culture backed by the global scale of Mediabrands. You’ll join an agency that’s full of energy, experimentation and ambition. We’re a home for pilots, not passengers.

We live by our values:

• Anticipate Tomorrow. We don’t wait for the future, we build it. We listen hard, act early, spot shifts in the media landscape before they land, and shape what comes next
• Perform with Pride. Excellence isn’t an outcome, it’s a mindset. We care deeply about our responsibility to deep craft, to each other, and the world around us
• Turn No into Next. Rejection doesn’t stop us, it sharpens us. We turn rejection into redirection
• Question What Others Won’t. We challenge the comfortable, embrace experiments, and ask questions without fear of failure
• Fight Inertia. Momentum comes from openness. We resist complacency by listening fully, sharing boldly, and acting with intent
• Be Brave. The riskiest thing is playing it safe. Bravery gets us to ideas others will never reach.

You will develop an understanding of audience insights, channel roles, media strategy, and campaign delivery processes in these markets. The role offers hands-on experience in building media plans and contributing to campaigns that drive engagement and elevate the New Balance brand.
