Our consulting team is looking to hire a bright, curious and confident new team member to support the work of our Consultants and Consulting Director across the music, gaming and video verticals.

In our consulting work, we help clients craft new value propositions, improve their competitive positioning, and focus more effectively on customer needs and value – cutting through the clutter and improving ‘signal to noise’ on their marketing activity. Rather than leave clients to translate results into real world findings, MIDiA helps clients build research solutions that answer business-critical needs and are grounded in a deep understanding of their business and the dynamics of the industries in which they compete.

We are looking to add someone to the team with the ability to grow into a research-based consulting specialist capable of ground-breaking and high-impact work across the entertainment sectors we work in.
