Entry Level Media Planning Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level media planning manager job?
Employers hiring at the entry level look for candidates who understand media channels, audience targeting, and campaign measurement basics. Internship experience at an agency or brand, coursework in advertising or communications, and familiarity with tools like Google Ads or Meta Ads Manager all strengthen an application. A portfolio showing even one or two planned campaigns, whether from an internship, class project, or freelance work, gives you a concrete edge over candidates who list skills without evidence.
Which companies hire entry level media planning managers?
Companies hiring entry level media planning managers right now include Lockheed Martin, Topaz Labs, and Fox Corporation, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from advertising agencies, media buying firms, and consumer brands building out their in-house marketing teams.
Are there remote entry level media planning manager jobs?
Yes, though on-site and hybrid roles are still common at this stage. About 31% of entry level media planning manager openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, so candidates who prefer flexibility do have options without limiting their search to a single city or metro area.
Are these new grad media planning manager jobs?
Yes, many of these postings are new grad and junior roles that explicitly welcome recent graduates with little or no professional experience. A new grad-friendly posting typically asks for zero to two years of experience and counts internships, academic projects, or a strong portfolio toward that threshold. Titles like junior media planner or media coordinator often lead to media planning manager responsibilities within one to two years.
Which industries hire the most entry level media planning managers?
Entry Level media planning manager roles concentrate in Education, Technology & Software, and Healthcare & Medical Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because they run high-volume, multi-channel campaigns that require dedicated planning support even from candidates who are early in their careers.
