Hi! I’m currently a media buyer but trying to transition into going client side specifically to brand management type of roles. Any advice on how to pivot that way or which skills to emphasize on the resume that look good to a brand management team?

What I am very confused about is that they gave me Booked Impressions (=4M), but in the task it says I should assume there is unlimited inventory. Am I supposed to use this 4M only to calculate spend, ROAS, etc., but can actually have unlimited allocated impressions? Thank you!
