If you ask, there are always things on management's plate or within the maintenance of a brand that have not been gotten to. Find out what they are and take them on. Again, following the rules above, you don’t actually have to do all the work, just see that it gets done.

For example, work with other planning or buying groups in your agency to collect all of the buys done in a single medium by vehicle on a post analysis versus pre-buy or planning basis. You will learn a lot by looking at the variations on pre-buy versus post-buy, and by studying the trends, you will learn which vehicles have the potential to over deliver.

This is something you and others can use in your future planning.

Make your superiors know that you will deliver and go the extra mile on these projects; they have great visibility.
