What it means
A role focused on buying and optimizing paid advertising inventory across platforms like Facebook, Google, and TikTok. Media buyers allocate budgets, test campaigns, and track performance metrics to maximize return on ad spend. As platforms become more automated, the role increasingly involves strategy and creative testing rather than just bidding.
How it's used here
Members reference media buyers both as a role they hire for and a skill being partially automated by AI agents. Several discuss using tools like OpenClaw to replace or augment traditional media buyer tasks like campaign analysis and budget reallocation.

“my previous media buyer was actually just following my orders so I didn't see much of a difference between him and my current flow with openclaw”
“Bot1 is helping me analyze which campaigns from multiple media buyers / platforms meet client kpi metrics each week and then reallocate inventory”
