Internship – Media Buying

How you’ll make an impact:

• Monitor trivago’s TV campaigns daily and flag the actions needed to maximise their impact.
• Analyse campaign performance and support the implementation of ongoing optimisations that improve our topline results.
• Support the planning and execution of multi-media campaigns across different markets, working closely with the wider marketing teams.
• Prepare and maintain reporting that gives the team a clear, current view of how campaigns are performing.
• Balance daily campaign monitoring with ad-hoc analysis requests, adjusting your priorities as campaign needs shift.
• Contribute fresh ideas to campaign planning discussions — your perspective counts.

What you’ll need to thrive:

• Analytical skills for interpreting campaign data, with solid Excel skills a plus — paired with an open, curious mindset toward AI tools and how they can sharpen analysis, forecasting, and optimisation.
• Confidence in building collaborative relationships internally and externally, and a genuine interest in learning how media negotiations secure the best possible conditions for trivago.
• A genuine learning mindset — you ask questions, seek out feedback, and pick things up quickly in a fast-changing environment.
• A performance mindset — you set ambitious goals for yourself and have the determination to follow through, even as priorities shift.
• Proficiency in English (our company language) and availability for a full-time, six-month internship.
• A valid work permit authorising employment in Germany (required for all internship applicants).
