Coordinate with vendors and partners on creative trafficking, UTM and landing page setup, and billing documentation (W-9s, vendor forms, etc.).
Ensure campaign details and deliverables are accurate, complete, and organized across systems.
Reporting & Analytics
Pull and compile weekly and monthly performance data from vendor dashboards and platform reports.
Track media spend and pacing across campaigns, updating internal and client trackers on a regular cadence.
Maintain the integrity of funnel reporting — ensuring data alignment across platforms, UTMs, and creative versions.
Identify anomalies or performance shifts early and collaborate with planners to understand the “why.”
Assist in building recurring and ad-hoc performance decks that translate data into clear narratives.

Work closely with Media Planners and Leads to maintain accurate and timely data that supports proactive optimization.
Contribute to internal documentation, templates, and best practices that improve process efficiency.
Participate in cross-team meetings, brainstorming sessions, and campaign reviews to build a holistic understanding of modern media planning.
Tools & Systems
Gain hands-on experience with key media tools including Google Campaign Manager, Prisma, Nielsen, MediaRadar, DSP dashboards, and analytics platforms.
Manage organized and version-controlled reporting files in Google Sheets, Excel, and Asana.
Support implementation of Acadia’s evolving ad ops processes to ensure precision and accountability across campaigns.

Strong attention to detail and comfort working with large data sets.
Proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets (pivot tables, lookups, formulas).
Basic understanding of digital media concepts (impressions, CPM, CTR, conversions, pacing).

Curious about media strategy and eager to learn the “why” behind performance data.
Organized, accountable, and proactive — comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
