At Running Total Media we are committed to diversity & inclusion and providing equal opportunities for everyone. We are dedicated to ensuring our processes are free from any form of discrimination or bias, right from the application process to life as part of our team.

The Agency:

Running Total Media is a very successful and fast-growing Manchester city centre based media planning & buying agency, and part of the Total Media Group.

We work with some of the highest profile advertisers in the UK, and a key aspect of our offering to clients is our ability to evaluate and forecast the performance of their advertising campaigns, across the full spectrum of media – TV, digital, radio, out-of-home, and so forth.

The Team:

There are 26 friendly faces in our Manchester office, and we’re a tight-knit and mutually supportive team. We work closely across a range of different clients in multiple business sectors, so no day is ever the same, and learning opportunities are constant and plentiful.

With most of us local to the City Centre, we have a brilliant ‘Back to Office’ culture and you’ll find us all working together in person most days

The Role: 

Our investment team is growing. Formerly working purely in Broadcast media, in 2025 we’re diversifying into new areas of opportunity.

As part of this growth, we are looking to add a dynamic individual with 1-2 years of media experience to our team in Manchester. Whether you come from a media owner or agency background, we are seeking someone with hands-on experience in broadcast, radio, or outdoor media.

While we will provide training in areas you may not yet be familiar with, a general understanding of the media landscape is preferred.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Planning & buying advertising campaigns across Broadcast, Radio, Outdoor and some YouTube.
  • Negotiating with sales representatives from said media channels (Media Owners) to secure great outcomes for clients.
  • Active management of campaigns to ensure best possible results and performance.
  • Detailed analysis of campaign performance & high level of numeracy.
  • Interacting with clients to help develop their plans & advertising campaigns.
  • Representing Running Total in Media Owner meetings and events.
  • Liaising with creative & PR agencies.
  • Studying for relevant industry-recognised qualifications.
  • Contributing to and participating in the culture of the wider Media Investment team, of which you would be a critical part of.
