at Foundation Blue Media
🏢 About Foundation Blue Media
Foundation Blue Media is a progressive media firm dedicated to electing Democrats nationwide through strategic digital, radio, and television campaigns. What makes them unique is their mission-driven approach to political communications, offering candidates a blend of innovative media strategies and proven electoral experience. Someone might want to work here to contribute directly to political outcomes while applying logistics expertise in a fast-paced, purpose-driven environment.
About This Role
As Logistics Director (Media), you'll ensure flawless execution of media buys across all platforms through daily quality assurance, accurate reporting, and cross-team coordination. This role is impactful because you'll be the operational backbone ensuring campaign dollars are spent effectively and creative assets are delivered correctly, directly influencing the success of Democratic campaigns nationwide.
💡 A Day in the Life
Your day typically starts by reviewing overnight media placements and spend reports, flagging any discrepancies for immediate correction. You'll then prepare for and facilitate morning stand-ups with media buying and creative teams, documenting action items and deadlines. The afternoon involves quality checking new creative assets, updating tracking systems, and ensuring all daily reports accurately reflect campaign spending across multiple Democratic races.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who Foundation Blue Media Is Looking For
- Has 3+ years experience specifically in media operations, campaign logistics, or agency project management with political/media campaigns
- Demonstrates obsessive attention to detail through examples of catching errors in media placements or financial reports before they become problems
- Is a natural facilitator who can document action items from multiple team calls and ensure follow-through across distributed, remote teams
- Can provide specific examples of juggling 5+ concurrent projects with competing deadlines in a political or media environment
📝 Tips for Applying to Foundation Blue Media
Quantify your media logistics experience: Instead of 'managed media buys,' specify 'performed daily QA on $2M in television placements across 15 markets'
Highlight any Democratic campaign or progressive organization experience prominently, as this shows mission alignment with Foundation Blue Media
Include a portfolio link or examples of creative assets you've reviewed/edited (display ads, video ads, RFP responses) even if just describing them
Demonstrate remote collaboration skills by mentioning specific tools you've used (Slack, Asana, Trello) for tracking action items across teams
Tailor your resume to mirror their language: use 'QA/QC on media buys' and 'tracking creative assets' rather than generic project management terms
