What kind of media agency planner are you?

Let’s find out.

SO YOU WORK in a media agency.

And since you do, you’ll know that there are some pretty prevalent office characters. Do you know which one you are?

We bet we can tell you…

1. What gets you out of bed in the morning?
The Sleep Cycle app. Everyone should use it
My alarm clock - and caffeine, lots of caffeine

The thought of being able to go back to bed later on...
2. How do you get to work?
I walk - in my brand new Nike Free Runs
The 8.15am DART

Dublin Bikes. Killer leverage for Coke Zero on the branding too!
I've got a discount code for Hailo, so might just taxi it in
3. What are you doing for lunch?
Gotta eat at my desk - three briefs to finish off before this afternoon
We got sent in some free sambos, might just eat those in the park

Going to check out by this new café around the corner, hear they have amazing coffee
I brought in some quinoa from home, had some left over from dinner
4. What's on your desk right now?
Couple of event invites I got this morning, some briefs, that kind of thing
A word of the day calendar

Nothing - I have a pretty decent filing system going on. Clutter sucks
A rubix cube, my magic 8 ball, and my iPhone 5S
5. It's mid-afternoon. How's your day going?
Still got a bit of a sore head, to be honest...
It's all on schedule!

It's going great. Why wouldn't it be?
It's all good, dude
6. What does the word "approval" mean to you?
It's "the belief that someone or something is good or acceptable"
The acceptance of my peers - and the acceptance of my event invitations!

A client's sign-off - end of
Someone complimenting my shoes
7. What are you doing this evening?
Got some client entertaining and then this brand event on. No rest for the wicked, eh?
Few scoops!

Work late, hit the gym, dinner at 8pm, movie at 9pm, bed at 11.30pm sharp
Checking out that new film everyone is raving about in the Lighthouse
8. Pick a movie.
The Hangover
Anything by Wes Anderson

A Beautiful Mind

The joker
How DO you do it? You work just as hard as you play. You're not one to turn down a lunch invite or a freebie, yet you're first one on the phone to the clients the next day. Everyone wants you on their team - and not just because you're game for a pint after work, either. Want to stay this popular? Then you should add some quizzes to your team's media plans this autumn. Trust us.

The one playing hard ball
Intimidating? You? Well, maybe just a tad... You're utterly fluent in buzzwords, have your eye on next year's awards already and - on top of all that - you usually get your way. Yep, there's no doubt about it: you're sharp. Thinking about the tickets to 2015's gongs already? Then you'll want a quiz on your next media plan...

The spreadsheet planner
You have an app, a filing system and a calendar for everything. You're a stats nerd to boot, as well as a dab hand at Excel. In fact, status meetings and reports are actually kind of a joy to you. And since you're so on top of things, you'll probably want to add a brand new TheJournal.ie quiz to your plans.

The hipster
Coffee, fixies, creativity and ground-breaking copy, man. You live for the latest thing and never miss a trick. You'd never call yourself a hipster - a sure sign you are one. Since you've got your finger on the pulse, you know you need a brand new quiz from TheJournal.ie on your plans, right? Right.
