What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters collaboration and innovation, allowing me to leverage my media planning expertise while contributing to impactful campaigns.

As a Senior Executive Media Planner at Zenith in London, I have honed my skills in high-level strategic planning and client relationship management. My role involves leading over 40 one-to-one calls with clients, conducting performance reviews, and optimizing campaign outcomes. I take pride in managing six-figure budgets and ensuring financial accountability while aligning with client objectives.

Previously, as a Media Planner in Kyiv, I enhanced communication between clients and our agency, effectively planning over 70 media campaigns. My experience includes managing budgets across various brands and ensuring timely updates on campaign performance. I am currently pursuing a degree in Business Management and Marketing, which complements my practical experience in media planning.
