Digital Media Buying Analyst

Summary

Mythic is an independent, full-service agency delivering connected capabilities across brand strategy, creative, media, social, and CRM. The Digital Media Buying Analyst will support campaign setup, maintenance, optimization, budget pacing, performance analysis, and reporting across paid media platforms, while developing strategic cross-channel media planning skills.

Responsibilities

• Assist with campaign building, maintenance, and optimizations across Google Ads and Meta. We aim for high accuracy and strong attention to detail, but when mistakes happen, we learn and grow from them as a team
• Manage multiple daily tasks with structure and composure. We provide robust project management and QA support to help you succeed, with the goal of you taking more and more ownership of your workstreams over time
• Help maintain the accuracy of insertion orders, campaign frameworks, and budgets to ensure our campaigns are pacing to target
• We’ll mentor you on the complex stuff. We are just looking for someone who is starting to think about the why behind the levers they are pulling—not just the how—and is eager to develop those strategic muscles
• We want you looking at the bigger picture. You’ll develop a strong understanding of how search and social interact, eventually using data to help recommend how our cross-channel investments can work together to achieve client KPIs
• Lean into AI tools (like Claude and Gemini) to streamline campaign research, speed up your performance analysis with high accuracy, and optimize your day-to-day workflows
• Pull reports to help uncover actionable insights that drive campaign growth and optimize our media buying efforts
• Assist in translating data into clear, helpful insights. You will help build presentation slides and support the team in answering ad hoc client questions regarding paid media campaign performance
• Monitor key performance metrics, learn how they differ across platforms, and understand how reporting data ties back to our clients' business goals
