I’m on the job search (terrible time but here we are). Ideally I’d go client side, but I’m from a small-mid size agency and struggling to even get interviews. I recognize part of that is normal now, too. Anyway, given my current agency and my experience focusing on local and regional to date, I’ve been tossing around the thought of doing one more agency stint to get some greater exposure. I’ve seen media director roles at Starcom and Critical Mass in the last few days. Anyone have any insight?

Hi everyone, I am getting ready for a job interview, and need to create a media plan. I was hoping someone can help me with the next task: basically, I need to create inventory recommendation based on past performance. 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!
