Job description

As a full-service marketing and advertising agency, L&S works with some of the region’s most respected brands across tourism, foodservice, education and more. We help brands outthink, outdo and outperform, driving agency and client growth. L&S is a collaborative, team-centric agency that puts our clients first, going all in on the work, evolving daily and finding a way to solve problems and make success happen.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

We’re looking for a Media Coordinator to join our Media team. This role is built for someone who enjoys creative thinking but has a passion for diving into the data. You’ll be essential to ensuring paid media campaigns are not only executed accurately but that they are driving results.

To be clear, this is not a social media posting job or a production assistant gig. You won’t be filming TikToks or working on‑set. This role lives in the world of paid media placement — the planning, buying, and coordination that gets ads in front of the right audience at the right time, whether that’s a Spotify ad, a local TV spot, or a billboard on someone’s morning commute.

Location: Sioux Falls, SD or Minneapolis, MN

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Build baseline knowledge of media channels and trends to help shape campaign strategies.
• Communicate media opportunities with clients and internal teams.
• Assist with media and market research to guide campaign planning.
• Collaborate, brainstorm, and propose new media placement ideas that make campaigns more effective.
• Manage accounts and communication with media partners on behalf of our clients — including requesting and negotiating proposals.
• Contract media buys across all types of media: digital, social, radio, print, video, out‑of‑home, etc.
• Coordinate creative asset development with internal teams and manage trafficking to external partners.
• Maintain digital trackers and reporting, reviewing and verifying media performance metrics across campaigns.
• Analyze results to identify optimization opportunities.
• Manage and process vendor invoices to keep campaigns financially in check.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:

• A detail‑oriented, organized multitasker who can keep several projects moving without missing the little things.
• A strong communicator — someone comfortable sending a clear email or picking up the phone to get answers.
• A curious learner who wants to build a career in media buying and placement.
• A four‑year college degree is required and prior professional experience in marketing is preferred.
• Bonus points if you’ve dabbled in Excel/Google Sheets, project management tools, or digital ad platforms.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT HERE:

• You’ll get hands‑on experience with just about every type of paid media out there.
• You’ll work with a collaborative, supportive team that knows how to hustle but also how to have fun.
• You’ll have real opportunities to grow into Media Specialist or Strategist roles.
• You’ll be part of an agency that balances smart strategy, creative thinking, and measurable results — with clients who trust us to do big things.

READY TO APPLY?

If you’re driven, detail‑obsessed, and excited to learn the ropes of paid media, we’d love to meet you.
