Media Planner & Buyer

Hi!! We’re Dilate, one of Perth’s biggest marketing agencies with an impressive, diverse client list and a world-class, global team.

It’s our mission to do great marketing for great businesses – ethically, strategically, and in a way that benefits everyone. We want our clients to win, their customers to win, and our employees to win.

We’re on the lookout for a talented Media Planner & Buyer to join our team and take ownership of media planning, buying and performance across a wide range of clients and industries. This is a strategic, hands-on role for someone who knows media inside and out, loves a good negotiation, and gets excited by turning budgets into measurable business results.

Maybe you’re looking for your next challenge, or maybe you’re searching for a place that’s big on purpose, trust, and good vibes. Either way, if you’ve got the skills and passion for media, read on.

So, the job.

You’ll be responsible for three core pillars: Client Relationships, Media Strategy & Performance, and Media Buying & Partner Management.

- Be the primary point of contact for your clients’ campaign activity, from media planning through to implementation.
- Develop a clear understanding of each client’s business goals, audiences, competitors and growth objectives to deliver tailored media recommendations.

- Develop media strategies across digital, traditional and emerging channels that align with client objectives and budgets.
- Build media plans that nail the right channel mix, audience targeting, placements and investment allocation to maximise ROI.
- Keep media plans up to date for the life of each campaign,



so they’re always an accurate record of what’s in market.
- Monitor live campaigns to confirm they’re running as booked and pacing against objectives, and work with media partners to optimise results.
- Analyse campaign data, market trends and audience insights, and prepare reports that show clients what the numbers really mean.
- Research, plan, source, negotiate and purchase media placements – securing the best rates, placements and added value for clients.
- Manage relationships with media owners, publishers, networks and specialist suppliers, and build a network of trusted partners.
- Coordinate bookings, creative specs, production requirements and timelines so campaigns launch smoothly and deliver as planned.
- Check proformas and supplier invoices against bookings, resolve discrepancies, and collect proof of postings to verify delivery.
- Stay on top of media trends, technologies and platforms, and support the wider team with monitoring, reporting, research and presentations.
