Ad Age is looking for two dynamic, self-starters to cover a broad cross section of marketers, media companies and agencies. These posts require 3+ years of reporting experience, with a demonstrated ability to develop sources, break news and write features.
We want reporters who are scoops-obsessed, collaborative and outgoing, and who possess the ability to read a financial report and a desire to dig deeper than the press release. You must have an eye for details, clear and accurate writing skills and an ability to make complex issues compelling, readable and shareable.
If this sounds like you, read on.
Media Reporter
Ad Age is seeking a high-energy reporter to cover the publishing business on all platforms — especially digital, mobile and social — and in all its varied forms — from journalism to native ads. The successful reporter will develop sources, break news, call out trends, uncover new strategies and profile key players in digital publishing. Frequent subjects are likely to include BuzzFeed, Vox Media, Refinery29, The New York Times, Upworthy, First Look Media and The Huffington Post, but also the mobile-first media empires still being conceived and distributed publishers that don’t care whether consumers ever visit their homepages. Ad tech, branded content, digital video and other key tactics will all necessarily fall under your lens as you chart the way forward for the media business in the digital era. Experience covering media, marketing or technology is a must.
Agency Reporter
Ad Age is seeking a reporter to break news and spot trends on our high-profile agency beat, where armies of creative, digital and communications specialists are battling to connect brands with consumers. This reporter will cover the light-speed evolution of marketing, media and communications. He or she will focus on the ad agencies reshaping the way marketers and consumers interact, developing sources and telling high-impact stories about innovative digital shops, fast-growing social media agencies, award-winning creative shops and other companies trying to muscle into agency territory. It is a competitive beat with big personalities and big budgets that produces some of our best-read stories. Experience covering technology, marketing or media is a must.
