Media Associate

Behind every successful campaign is someone asking better questions. Who are we trying to reach? What do they care about? Where can we connect with them most effectively? What can the data tell us?

If you're naturally curious, enjoy solving problems, and like to turn analytics into action, this may be the role for you.

Trampoline is looking for a Media Associate to join our growing Media team. This role offers the opportunity to gain hands-on experience across research, planning, buying, campaign execution, optimization, and reporting while working on an exciting mix of local, regional, and national clients.

Based in Halifax, collaboration is one of the key values we hold close as we believe it creates the most powerful work while nurturing our overall wellness and growth. We have a beautiful, large, open space downtown and overlooking the Halifax harbour.

Our mantra is to be a force for positive change in the region. While we’re anchored to Nova Scotia, our mission extends beyond people and place. This positivity inspires us at every level. We’re proud of how we show up: in the office, in our community and beyond.
