Media Analyst Jobs
24 open analytics roles · Typical salary $60K–$180K
Media analysts turn campaign data into decisions. They build dashboards, run attribution analyses, design tests, model media mix, and translate platform reports into recommendations the planning and buying teams can act on. The role spans junior 'reporting analyst' positions (heavy in Excel/Tableau, lighter strategy) up through senior measurement leads who own MMM, incrementality testing, and cross-platform attribution architecture.
In 2026, media analytics has been reshaped by the cookie deprecation everyone's been promising for half a decade. The growth roles are around clean rooms (Google Ads Data Hub, Amazon Marketing Cloud, LiveRamp, InfoSum), incrementality testing, and MMM revival — anything that works without third-party identifiers. Generic 'pull a report' analyst roles are being absorbed into AI tools; senior analysts who can architect measurement frameworks are in higher demand than at any point in the past decade.
Active hirers include performance agencies (Tinuiti, Wpromote, Brainlabs), measurement specialists (Analytic Partners, Marketing Evolution, MMA), in-house brand teams at Amazon, Disney, NBCU, Paramount, and the analytics arms of major holdcos.

FAQs
What does a media analyst do day to day?
Pull and clean campaign data from DSPs and platforms, build dashboards (Tableau, Looker, Power BI), run attribution and incrementality analyses, design A/B tests, build MMM models, and translate findings into recommendations for planners and buyers.
What skills do media analysts need in 2026?
SQL is table stakes. Most senior roles also expect Python or R, fluency in at least one BI tool, and understanding of MMM, attribution methodologies, and incrementality design. Familiarity with clean rooms (ADH, AMC, LiveRamp) is increasingly required.
Media analyst vs marketing analyst — same thing?
Overlapping but distinct. Media analysts focus on paid media measurement (campaign performance, attribution, MMM). Marketing analysts often have broader scope including organic, CRM, lifecycle. Compensation is similar; media analyst roles tend to be more platform-specialized.
