Morphology

media + consultant

The compound 'media consultant' is transparently built from 'media' (communication platforms) and 'consultant' (professional advisor), so a learner who knows both words can infer it means a consultant who advises on media. This simple noun+noun compositional pattern is common in English and other languages, making the meaning immediately accessible to a B1 learner.

Etymology

Media consultant comes from two parts: media, the channels like TV, radio and the internet, and consultant, a person who gives advice. Imagine someone holding a TV, a phone and a newspaper and telling a company which channel to use — that's why a media consultant helps companies choose and use media to reach people.
