French term or phrase:
acheteur d'art
English translation:
art buyer
French term
acheteur d'art
The term that comes to mind is 'picture buyer', but this person is responsible for finding and licensing stills, video and general multimedia -- what's the right (pref. UK) term these days?

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

| mm, doesn't a media buyer mostly buy slots in published/broadcast media, i.e. the "output" side, disseminating finished ads? this role, as described, is to do with the "input" side, researching and purchasing the components which go into the ads. |
