About The Role

Media Bridge Advertising is an agency in Minneapolis, MN, that combines media buying and creative services to help clients of all sizes grow and win. We are seeking an Integrated Media Manager to join our team. The Integrated Media Manager is an analytical thinker and has a passion to learn and support a team across digital and traditional efforts. The Integrated Media Manager develops and implements local traditional and programmatic media campaigns, ensuring they are executed accurately and efficiently.
