Senior Media Buyer

Cornerstone Media Group | Minneapolis, MN

For nearly three decades, Cornerstone Media Group has been a trusted partner on both sides of the media equation. We work closely with television stations, cable systems, satellite providers, and networks across the country to help them grow their performance-based advertising revenues — while simultaneously delivering measurable, data-driven results for the advertisers who place their campaigns through us. Our ability to serve both sides effectively is what sets Cornerstone apart, and it is the foundation on which our reputation has been built over 30 years.

Our team operates out of our downtown Minneapolis office, where collaboration, accountability, and a commitment to performance are at the center of everything we do.
