You will love ‘ideas', and the process of creative development. You will have the ability and desire to make the complex, simple. You will want to work across a strong portfolio of brands, adding value to on-going client relationships as much as delivering on shorter term strategic projects.

Or perhaps you are a senior account handler or researcher who would like to focus more on insight and planning. You will be comfortable writing and presenting your thinking, familiar with advertising and marketing research and its role in the creative process, and be equally at ease with clients and the creative department.

This could be your first agency role, or maybe you are currently in an agency but prefer the strategy side of your role, or perhaps you already work in a research role, and would like to apply it to communications.

This newly created role is in our planning department, and is an important part of our growth plans and investment in our strategic offer.
