• 3+ years working and communicating with clients or internal customers focused on sales, operations and/or performance conversations

• Experience with all major digital advertising platforms including Google, Bing, Yahoo, all social media channels, and programmatic best practices

• Experience aggregating, providing and explaining performance reporting for digital media campaigns
