Media Associate

Behind every successful campaign is someone asking better questions. Who are we trying to reach? What do they care about? Where can we connect with them most effectively? What can the data tell us?
If you're naturally curious, enjoy solving problems, and like to turn analytics into action, this may be the role for you.

Our mantra is to be a force for positive change in the region. While we’re anchored to Nova Scotia, our mission extends beyond people and place. This positivity inspires us at every level. We’re proud of how we show up: in the office, in our community and beyond.
