What we’re looking for.

Beyond this, you’ll be a force to be reckoned with when it comes to getting the job done, across on and offline channels, from initial concept to execution. You're great at managing multiple projects under pressure, getting the team organised and ensuring everything is running smoothly.

Our approach.

Strategically-led, integrated all-over-it-ness. Brought to life with game changing creative. We put our client services team at the heart of the agency, drawing on specialisms across all channels.

• Detail: you're all over it, all of the time.
• Great under pressure
• Agency background essential
• Integrated marketing experience, ideally with experience delivering campaigns for multiple international markets
• Problem solver who can think on their feet and seek out new opportunities for the business and the clients
• A future leader. We're looking for ambitious people who want to grow and progress (personally & professionally)
• A curious mindset
• A collaborative, team oriented approach

• Trusted pair of hands that will get the job done

We are McCann Central, the UK's largest integrated agency. Over 500 individuals working together to help brands play a meaningful role in people's lives.

We are also part of McCann Worldgroup, a global agency network that delivers culture-shaping work for some of the world's biggest brands.

So creativity really is at the forefront of everything we do.

For us, diversity is a business imperative - one that must be embedded into every aspect of how we operate in order to drive success. Simply put, we believe an encouraging and inclusive environment makes sound business sense.

As a globally integrated community that influences and shapes culture, it's vital that the talent mix in our agencies encompass all dimensions of diversity, and that we demand the same of the people we work with.

Conscious inclusion encompasses social, cultural and cognitive differences and cultivates an ethos of belonging, connection and shared purpose. It is the integration of this philosophy that allows us to create meaningful experiences for our employees, drive better business practices with our vendors and clients, and ultimately lead with purpose.

Omnicom is committed to hiring and developing exceptional talent. We agree that talent is uniquely distributed, and we're focused on developing inclusive teams that can bring the best solutions to everything we do. We strongly believe that celebrating what makes us different makes us better together. Join us-we look forward to getting to know you.
