Overview

We don’t all look the same, and we don’t expect you to, either.

We look for prior experience in media analytics, especially digital media. We hope you’re a numbers whiz and know how to bring data to life through a compelling story. You should already be used to representing your team to external clients, since Directors are often the face of our brand.
