Why Media Republic?

At Media Republic, we’re more than just an independent media agency, we’re a team of crafted thinkers, data lovers, and thriving on business led outcomes to make brands gain the best results. Located just a stone’s throw from the beach in Black Rock, our agency blends big-picture thinking with the flexibility and culture of an independent shop. We work across a wide mix of clients, from challenger brands to global icons — and we’re growing fast.

The Role

We’re on the lookout for a smart, energetic and curious Digital Media Manager who's key responsibility is to deploy programmatic & social media with the precision and commercial intent that separates a genuine specialist from an operator. Every audience segment you build, every inventory source you access, and every bid strategy you set either captures or wastes a client's commercial chance.

Your role is to architect programmatic & social frameworks that are mapped directly to business outcomes — not just delivery metrics. That is the standard Media Republic holds itself to, and it is the standard your work must reflect.
