Job description

Most agencies keep creative in one room and media in another, and the client is left to stitch the two together. We are building the agency the other way round — and we are looking for an experienced Client Partner to make that work in the daily running of the business, not only in the pitch.

NoA Connect Danmark is a new, full-funnel media agency in Copenhagen. We do strategic advisory, media strategy and planning, buying, execution and measurement, and we treat creative, media and effect as one craft rather than three departments handing work between them. We are part of The North Alliance, so the creative, digital, design and PR teams sit in the same group and are already used to working together.

About the role

As Client Partner you build and lead the relationships with a portfolio of our clients, typically at marketing‑director and CMO level. You own the strategy, the delivery, the senior advisory work that sits on top of it, and the commercial result. In practice that means you are the person the client calls first, the person who decides whether what we are about to present is good enough, and the person who makes sure the work moves their business and not only their campaign metrics.

The team is small and the agency is new. You will help decide how we run client relationships, not only run them: how we plan, how we report, and the standard we hold ourselves to. You report to our CEO, Marie Eberholst Rosenquist, and you will have real say in how the agency is built.

What you will be doing

• The bridge to creative. You connect the media architecture and the creative idea so they strengthen each other, working directly with strategists, creatives and designers across the group.
• Client leadership. You hold the senior relationships and keep them warm. You understand the client’s business — how they earn their money, what pressure they are under — not only their marketing plan, and you are trusted enough to disagree with them when it matters.
• Media advisory. You find, scope and sell the senior work we deliver as projects: annual planning, media strategy, media audits, creative evaluation and tender advisory. Converting that work inside your portfolio is yours.
• Media management. You own the annual media strategy, channel planning and budget allocation, buying, campaign management and reporting across your portfolio, together with the specialists in the team.
• Effect and measurement. You lead the conversation about what actually worked — incrementality, marketing mix modelling, brand tracking — and translate it into decisions the client can act on.
• Commercial ownership. You are accountable for growth and profitability in your portfolio: scoping, forecasting, pricing and delivering on what we promised.
• Communication. You keep clients and colleagues clearly informed on where things stand, and you pull the right people in the group into the work at the right time.

What we are looking for

We are not expecting every box to be ticked. If you recognise yourself in most of this, we would like to hear from you.

• Around 7–10 years from a media agency or a comparable environment, at Client Director, Business Director or senior Account Director level.
• You have owned client relations, media strategy, planning and buying, and you have carried commercial responsibility for a portfolio.
• You are comfortable in the room with senior marketers, and you can present a plan and defend it.
• You are at home in a conversation about effect — incrementality, marketing mix modelling, brand tracking — and you can explain it to people who are not media specialists.
• You know the Danish media landscape, the media owners and the planning tools, and you bring the relationships that come with having worked here.
• You work well without finished processes, and you would rather write them than wait for them.
• Danish and English, written and spoken.

Nice to have

• Experience selling and delivering advisory projects: media audits, tender processes, annual planning.
• Experience working closely with creative teams, or from an agency where creative and media sat together.
• Practical experience with AI tools in planning, analysis or reporting — we are curious rather than dogmatic about it.

What we offer

• A creative house with good colleagues, a friendly atmosphere and an office in the centre of Copenhagen.
• A place in the founding team of NoA Connect Danmark, with the influence that comes with being early.
• A senior team to work with and learn from, and room to develop as the agency grows.
• Direct access to the wider NoA family — creative, digital, design and PR capability in the same group.
• Real influence on a young agency: the commercial model, the processes and the standard are all still being set.
