Media Buyer — Vermont & Northern New York Regional Placement (OOH, Transit, Radio, Retail Audio)

We're a public health communications agency seeking a media buyer with **existing vendor relationships in Vermont and/or the six northern New York counties** (Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Hamilton, St. Lawrence, Warren) to support a healthcare client's campaign work across that specific region. We already handle digital, social, geofenced, and streaming audio buying in-house. What we need is a specialist who can bring **standing relationships and placement experience in regional, physical media** — out-of-home, transit, terrestrial radio, and retail audio — specifically in this footprint.

Do you have current vendor relationships in Vermont or northern New York specifically? Please name the vendors/outlets. 2. What's the most recent campaign you placed in this region, and what channels did it use? 3. Are you available for a long-term contractor engagement (1+ years, project-based work, roughly 3 campaigns/year)? 4. Are you open to being named as a subcontractor on a government RFP response, including providing standard subcontractor documentation if the bid is awarded?
