• Born in 2000 as an ad agency for the video game, entertainment, and technology communities
• 85 teammates across the US, LATAM, and European markets
• Our employee turnover has historically been ~8% annually
• Ad agency partner for Bethesda Softworks, Square Enix, CD Projekt Red, Riot Forge, Capcom, Sega, and other top gaming and entertainment partners. See our work at www.liquidadvertising.com (we’re in the middle of a rebrand to Liquid Advertising)

What's this position about?

This is our entry-level position, the first step on the ladder in becoming a media strategy professional. We'll take the skills and aptitudes from your university education and train you into the art and science of modern digital media buying.

It's the start of a solid, upwardly-mobile career in media planning and strategy.

Typically, people who are successful in this position have completed their undergraduate degree at a top university, acquired solid Excel analytical skills, and have shown leadership in projects that required fast learning and outstanding results.

Some of the things you'll do on the job include--

• Researching new digital media networks and third party data sources
• Managing budgets and tracking media placements
• Tracking hundreds of creative assets and ensuring they're being deployed in the right place at the right time
• Analyzing data in Excel and other platforms to bring patterns and insights to light
• Monitoring ongoing marketing campaigns and making recommendations for optimizing our spending

Requirements

Our requirements are--

• Bachelors degree or better with considerable quantitative coursework
• 1 year of professional experience in an office setting
• Strong math and Excel skills
• Understanding of Microsoft Office or Google Docs
• Excellent spoken and written English-language skills at the C1-C2 level
• Strong desire to learn the advertising business
• Of course, if you're into video games, that's helpful as well!

Your qualities and attributes

• Attention to detail: Prioritize accuracy and precision in media planning, budgeting, and campaign execution to maximize campaign effectiveness. You are not a spot checker; you are thorough and know where to look to find the most common errors.
• Problem-solving: Demonstrate resourcefulness in identifying and resolving challenges during media planning, buying, and activation. Employ a strategic and creative mindset to find efficient solutions without wasting time or energy.
• Collaboration and teamwork: Thrive in a collaborative environment that values open communication and shared decision-making with colleagues. Demonstrate a willingness to accept and apply feedback constructively to your work.

Benefits

Our benefits include private health insurance; medical, grocery, and technology stipends; vacation pay and eligibility for annual bonus; and a stipend to buy a video game every month.

Our stance

Liquid is committed to creating an anti-racist environment. We're building an ad agency where committed and creative people from all backgrounds can do their best work.

No agencies, please. This is a pretty good representation of this position’s responsibilities but is not a comprehensive job description. Duties, clients, and team assignments may change as assigned. We regret we cannot consider applicants outside of Mexico or those requiring visa sponsorship at this time.
