Job Description

Marshall Advertising, one of Florida’s largest independent media buying agencies, is seeking a Digital Media Buyer to join our team in Tampa.

• Monitor placement quality, brand safety, viewability, and invalid traffic where applicable, and address concerns with platforms and vendors.
• Maintain campaign documentation, budgets, approvals, and change records; support invoice review, billing reconciliation, and discrepancy resolution.
• Work with platform representatives and vendors to resolve issues and evaluate relevant opportunities.
• Use AI tools and LLMs to support research, analysis, reporting, and workflow improvements while checking outputs for accuracy and protecting client information.
• Stay current on platform changes, measurement limitations, data privacy requirements, and emerging digital media tools.

What We’re Looking For

• At least 2 years of relevant digital media experience; 2–3 years preferred.
• Hands-on campaign management experience and working knowledge of paid search, paid social, programmatic buying, and ad serving.
• Experience translating client objectives into campaign structures, audience strategies, budgets, and measurable performance goals.
• Working knowledge of campaign tracking, pixels, tags, conversion events, and tracking parameters, with the ability to identify issues and coordinate fixes.
• An understanding of digital media metrics, attribution limitations, and how to interpret platform and website analytics together.
• Strong analytical skills and the judgment to turn campaign data into useful recommendations.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain campaign strategy and performance clearly to clients and colleagues.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to manage multiple campaigns, budgets, and deadlines.
• Ability to work independently, collaborate across teams, and take ownership of campaign follow-through.
