Alongside this, the MBPA will support channel owners in the population of their content plans ensuring they feedback to the commercial teams on as a Marketing Department, where we are supporting key initiatives ahead of each quarter as well as taking the time to reflect on the last and make iterative changes on lessons we have learnt.

The MBPA must have excellent organisation, communication and multi-tasking skills, a creative way of thinking, brand understanding and be comfortable and robust whilst supporting the Planning Manager.
