Media Analytics Assistant 2025

The Kite Factory is an independent media agency that gives brands the best in Heart, Art, and Science to craft creative media ideas that deliver. With a rich heritage in measurement, TKF combines data-driven insights and craft planning to deliver media effectiveness that drives measurable growth for clients like Skin+Me, WaterAid, Redrow, Crisis, Lovehoney, White Claw, Triodos Bank, and Little Freddie.

We exist because we saw a gap in the market. A gap between ideas and measurement. Anyone can have a good idea, but they don’t necessarily know how to measure it. Conversely, just because you can measure things, it’s no guarantee you can have good ideas. Well, we do both.

We’re a dynamic team of creative visionaries, professional achievers, and data enthusiasts, all driven by a passion for delivering tangible results. Now with over 100 media specialists, The Kite Factory has experienced remarkable growth over the past five years. We've celebrated multiple new business and award-winning campaigns, earning the prestigious title of Campaign’s Independent Agency of the Year in 2023. Our workplace culture shines as we proudly rank among Campaign’s Best Places to Work and hold IPA Platinum status, reflecting our unwavering commitment to the development and well-being of our people.

What we are looking for

At The Kite Factory we have developed a reporting and insight engine which we call FlightDeck. FlightDeck holds all our campaign data in our database and delivers online interactive dashboards for all our clients to replace labour-intensive excel based reporting and fresh daily insights.

The Media Analytics Assistant reports to the Senior Analytics Manager and works closely with all teams across the agency to support data operations within the Kite Factory. The Media Analytics Assistant will form part of the Data Team to deliver FlightDeck to all our clients as we evolve FlightDeck beyond a reporting platform into an insight engine that sits at the heart of everything we do for clients.

Your role

The Media Analytics Assistant will work closely with our client teams to add functionality and insight that delivers value to our existing clients, plus have the chance to get involved in new business pitches. We are looking for a team player who contributes to the wider agency’s development, and we are looking for someone who has the passion, drive and tenacity to make a difference.

After on the job training from the Senior Analytics Manager, Senior Media Analytics Executive and Data Operations Lead, the Media Analytics Assistant will take ownership of configuring newly launched campaigns within our systems.

As part of maintaining and troubleshooting our reporting solution this person will:

• Build client dashboards for delivering insights to our media teams.
• Troubleshoot all dashboards where variances and problems have been reported.
• Quality control incoming data sources.
• Liaise with internal teams to make sure users are trained up.
• Develop skills to help the team outside of dashboarding.

We place a strong focus on training and development at The Kite Factory, as such we ensure all our team have a personalised development plan with clear objectives, which is reviewed and refreshed every 6 months. This means that the person in this role will have the opportunity to build upon their data and coding skills to help the Data Team expand the range, depth and sophistication of FlightDeck, helping on data engineering, automation, econometrics and machine learning projects. We have an internal training programme across a range of technical and soft skills, and we provide opportunities to attend external training with our core partners.
