Senior Media Strategist

About the role

At Livewire, we build innovative, effective and scalable gaming media campaigns for the world’s leading brands. As a Senior Media Strategist within the Labs team, you will play a key role in shaping audience-first gaming media strategies that connect brands with gaming audiences across platforms, creators, communities and immersive gaming environments. 
 
Leveraging tools such as Gamer.AI, GWI and Livewire’s proprietary Gamer.ID audience intelligence platform, you will identify the most effective audience and media opportunities for each brief across video, creator ecosystems, gamified media and owned gaming environments. You will help brands activate gaming audiences across platforms, devices and media environments through Gamer.ID.
