The internship sits within the central buying team that serves the agency's most important client, offering a hands‑on introduction to the media market, strategic negotiation platforms and day‑to‑day media buying dynamics. Each day the intern will help shape the negotiation plan, support the buying group by tracking commitment status and organising all negotiation‑related data into a clear framework. The role also involves preparing detailed internal and client reports, gathering the information needed for negotiations, and using that material to build benchmarking tools and reference points that inform buying decisions.
