Media Buyer Resume

The real promotional activities of an advertisement begin when it reaches the publishing media. An advertisement may not be too costly in terms of used resources; however the overall cost can be affected hugely by the choice of media and amount of media space. Both these factors are finalized by negotiating with the media and this task is accomplished by a media buyer.

A media buyer should posses good communication skills and strong negotiating abilities. He/she should understand thoroughly the ad project/s for which media buying has to be done. Once the underlying theme and prominent aspects of an advertisement are clear to the media buyer, he/she can convince the media representatives and can acquire maximum media space for the client’s advertisement in minimum possible cost.
