Day-to-day operating brief

What Audio Buyer (Radio) work looks like in practice

An Audio Buyer purchases radio, streaming and podcast advertising against an approved media plan, negotiating rates, positions and added value. The role handles audience data, station relationships, schedules, copy deadlines and post-campaign reconciliation rather than creating the advert itself. Terms should define markets, platforms, budgets, booking authority, incentives, conflicts, audience tools, spot placement, talent or music clearance dependencies, make-goods and invoice checks. Spot schedules should identify programme context, time band, rotation and exclusions, not just aggregate audience delivery. Podcast and streaming placements may involve host reads, dynamic insertion or category separation that require distinct checks. The buyer should reconcile booked length and copy version before transmission. Audience guarantees, bonus spots and make-goods need equivalent-value rules so delivery volume cannot compensate for missing the intended listeners.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

  • Negotiate audio inventory.
  • Book approved schedules.
  • Verify audiences and placements.
  • Coordinate copy deadlines.
  • Monitor delivery and changes.
  • Reconcile invoices and make-goods.

A realistic working scenario

A station offers cheap late inventory outside the target listening pattern. The buyer evaluates delivery against the plan rather than treating a low cost per spot as value.

  • approved audio bookings
  • traceable rate and schedule decisions
  • reconciled delivery and make-good records

Records and evidence

  • Plan budget and audience.
  • Quote negotiation and booking.
  • Spot schedule and copy receipt.

  • Handover notes.

Reporting relationship

Authority and escalation

  • The buyer cannot exceed budgets, accept undisclosed incentives, clear creative rights or substitute audiences without approval.
  • Obtain approval before committing expenditure, changing contractual commitments or making regulated or staffing decisions outside the assigned role.

Tools and systems

  • Analytics tools.
  • Social platforms.
  • Design tools.

Workplace context
