Description
About GROUP219
Group 219 is a network of specialist independent Canadian agencies seamlessly collaborating with the best tools and talent to create results for clients. Strategy, creative, content, media and PR — from Montreal, Toronto, and beyond.
Independently strong. Collectively unstoppable. When it adds value for clients, the agencies of Group 219 come together — bringing diverse expertise, fresh perspectives, and complementary skills — to deliver something bigger. And sweeter.
About Church+state
Church+State is a Toronto-based agency, part of Group 219, that helps brands navigate the unified worlds of advertising and content — creating stuff people want to see, not stuff they have to see. Their approach is built on aligning what a brand thinks, what it does, and what it says, across strategy, experience, and creation.
About Substance
Substance is an independent, integrated agency built around a unique winning formula: content, creation, media, and PR — all under one roof. For over 13 years, their team of fearless thinkers has helped brands like Doordash, Tremblant, and Rona spark real reactions through agile content, bold creative, and high-performing media. Part of Groupe 219, Substance operates across Montreal and Toronto.
While Substance brings the full spectrum of agency expertise, this role is specifically focused on the media pillar — owning paid media strategy, planning, and execution for English-market clients, from within the C+S Toronto office.
Position summary
As part of Group 219 — the collaborative network behind Church+State and Substance — the Digital Media Specialist is a hybrid media and project management role based in the C+S Toronto office. You will support the Substance Montreal media team in executing end-to-end digital and 360° campaigns for English-market clients, while serving as the primary Toronto point of contact. You’re equally comfortable building a media strategy as you are owning a client relationship, managing a budget, or walking into a pitch room.
You’re responsive, organized, and a productive, positive member of the team. You don’t take yourself too seriously and you love to work hard and have fun.
Responsibilities
Client Leadership
Actively contribute to a positive client experience by serving as the primary Toronto point of contact for media projects.
Build and maintain strong client relationships grounded in trust, transparency, and proactive communication.
Identify and resolve issues that may arise during the course of a mandate, bringing creative solutions to the table.
Project Management
Rigorously manage budgets and timelines across numerous concurrent campaigns while meeting all deadlines.
Produce and maintain project documentation including briefs, estimates, workbacks, status reports, and reconciliations.
Ensure quality control at every stage of approval and production, from brief to campaign close-out.
Pitch
Contribute to new business pitches by developing media strategies, preparing decks, and presenting recommendations to prospects.
Collaborate cross-functionally with strategy, creative, and account teams to deliver compelling, integrated proposals.
Media Strategy & Planning
Develop data-informed media strategies and channel plans tailored to each client’s objectives and audience.
Translate strategy into clear, actionable media plans with defined KPIs, budget allocation, and measurement frameworks.
Campaign Management
Support the Substance Montreal media specialist team in the end-to-end execution of digital and 360° paid media campaigns (Search, Social, Programmatic, OOH, traditional) for English-market clients.
Manage campaign setup, trafficking, optimization, and reporting across platforms including Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, DV360, and others.
Stay on top of platform updates, industry trends, and new technologies to continuously improve campaign performance.
Media Partner Relations
Establish and nurture long-term relationships with English-market media partners across Canada, ensuring strong collaboration and added value for clients.
Your profile
3–6 years of relevant experience in media planning, buying, or digital and 360° campaign management.
Bachelor’s degree minimum in Marketing, Business Administration, Communications, or a related field.
Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously with rigour and attention to detail.
Natural communicator and relationship builder — clients trust you, and colleagues want to work with you.
Hands-on expertise across media platforms such as Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, DV360, and others — if you know some and are eager to learn the rest, we’re good with that.
Strong command of campaign KPIs, attribution models, and performance reporting.
Bilingualism (EN/FR) is an asset, though not a requirement, given our broader Groupe 219 environment.
What we offer
A competitive base salary.
Bonuses ranging from 5% to 20% of your annual salary.
You’ll be part of the Substance Montreal media team while working day-to-day from the vibrant C+S Toronto office.
20 paid vacation days, comprehensive benefits, and an RRSP program.
Access to the culture and resources of both a Great Place to Work®–certified agency and an established media group.
Sound like you? We’d love to hear from you.
