Drake Cooper in Boise has an opening for a Media Buyer. From their job listing:
DESCRIPTION
You understand content, ratings and relationships – in fact, negotiating is your middle name. You know mass media, social media and online advertising like the back of your hand. Research and analytics are always part of your game plan when it comes to strategic placement for our broad range of clients. You like creative environments, sriracha and catching up on the latest tv series, new media and cat videos. If this sounds like you and you’d like to be part of our ambitious team, please send us your résumé, we’d love to hear from you.

Drake Cooper in Boise recently added a trio of new talent to their team:
As a graduate of Willamette University with a degree in Art History and Anthropology, Vina had no choice but to leave the country for lack of career prospects. She spent three years living in Buenos Aires, Argentina working remotely as a headhunter for tech PR professionals. Back stateside in 2013, she started a branding agency, ATOM, offering full digital design and marketing solutions to clients. In 2014 she joined Vacasa, a rapid-growth startup and built the international division, expanding the company into three new continents.
She serves on the board of the Boise Angel Alliance, and loves the local entrepreneurial and tech community. She is a graduate of Boise’s first code school, Boise CodeWorks, where she studied front end web development and UX design.
Vina negotiates better in Spanish than in English, and dances tango, but not as well as she downhill skis. She exclusively reads non-fiction, is always on the look-out for a new piece of art to add to her collection, and if you ever give her anything – she will probably sell it on Amazon.
As a project manager, Molly sets goals and uses her skills and expertise to inspire a sense of shared purpose amongst her team. She works in close collaboration with Jacksons and Idaho Central Credit Union, coordinating promotions and campaigns for both companies. Molly appreciates the variety in her work, ensuring that every task is addressed and accomplished on-time. One day she could be on a TV shoot and the next she could be lost in research for a brand.
Molly received her BA in Marketing from Boise State University in December of 2015. Before joining the Drake Cooper team, she was the Digital Marketing Director for Proof Eyewear, a small sustainable eyewear company based out of Boise. There, she pioneered many of the marketing processes and fell head over heels for everything advertising. She still holds Proof near and dear to her heart, “Don’t Forget Your Roots!”
When she’s away from her work, Molly is usually with likeminded humans tromping trails, chasing first chair, or begging for brunch. All she wants for Christmas is a puppy.
As a media buyer, Liesle analysis, negotiates and manages the ins and outs of all things media. Her borderline OCD for organization and passion for people make her a force to be reckoned with. Liesle values her partnerships with local media and strongly believes that the mutually beneficial agency/media perspective results in the most powerful campaigns.
Liesle is an equally proud Vandal as she is a Tri Delta sorority alumna and received a B.A. in Public Relations in 2013. Liesle brings years of media expertise with her time at the Idaho Statesman as well as at another local ad agency learning the tricks of the trade.
When she’s not buying TV, radio and print for our clients, Liesle loves to make huge messes baking in her kitchen, learning how to garden or taking advantage of the Boise foothills with her fiancé and lab puppy, Boone.
In what feels like a song stuck on repeat…
Drake Cooper is looking for the right people to fill a couple of positions on their team:
DESCRIPTION
Are we a good match?
YOU: Strategically minded Art Director/Designer rock star type person. Highly developed collaborative muscles and concept chops with mad execution skills. Comfortable living and playing in the digital world. Fluent in geek, gradient, GFX and glass half full vernacular. Not afraid to throw ROI into a sentence, between FTW and a fist bump. Have the talent to back up a huge ego, but you don’t. Passionate, driven, curious, resourceful, inventive, problem solver.
US: We have mad love for advertising and we thrive on creating great work that works. We value debate, breaking trail and making things better than we found them. We collaborate fiercely, we play nice and drink beer together. We’re good at what we do, but we’re constantly working to get better, we embrace change, we take risks, we show up, we stay late when we need to and leave early when we can but we don’t leave anyone hanging, we’ve got each others back. We don’t believe in limitations of titles, we dedicate time to learn and grow. We are artists, nerds, hackers, gamers, coders, storytellers, strategists, analysts, and makers. We don’t work for Drake Cooper, we are Drake Cooper.
