environment.
Responsibilities:
Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

responsive, knowledgeable and proactive account management.
• Developing a strong understanding of clients' businesses, audiences, products,
competitors and marketing objectives.

marketing objectives into effective media recommendations.
• Leading the development of multi-channel media plans, working with specialist teams
and senior colleagues where appropriate.
• Evaluating media opportunities and recommending the channels, partners, audiences
and approaches most appropriate to the brief.
• Clearly communicating media recommendations and the rationale behind them to
clients and internal stakeholders.
• Coordinating campaign activation across internal teams, clients, media partners and

• Maintaining a clear view of campaign delivery, budget and performance and proactively
addressing issues before they affect client outcomes.
• Identifying and driving optimization opportunities based on campaign data, audience
insights and wider client objectives.

• Contributing insight and recommendations to client reviews, QBRs and wider strategic
conversations.

improve the quality and usefulness of campaign measurement.
