Born within a creative agency, we launched our paid media practice in mid-2021, with the purpose to offer clients properly end-to-end integrated creative and media services. We’ve had strong growth and scaled from a start-up media team to a full-service agency, now with over 20 media specialists working on a stellar roster of brands both in the UK and international markets and collaborating with an array of agency talent in McCann Worldgroup and IPG.

This is an exciting time to join McCann Demand, and we are hiring for several roles in addressable content, ad tech, and biddable specialisms. We embrace hybrid working, offering flexibility with core hours to help balance life and work.

Who we are

We are McCann Demand, an agency of its own, but also an extension of McCann Central, the UK’s largest integrated agency with over 500 individuals helping brands play a meaningful role in people’s lives.

Our awards include Euro Effies for most effective global agency, Cannes Network of the Year, Campaign’s European Integrated Agency of the Year, and numerous others at Cannes Lions, Clios, One Show, D&AD, LIAs, Golden Drum & Creative Circle Awards, reflecting our commitment to creativity.

We have a lean creative department with a global client list, providing frequent briefs and opportunities, and we continue to succeed in pitches.

Key responsibilities:

• Assist in managing clients' trafficking, measurement, tagging, and ensure effective execution of digital campaigns.
• Translate media plans into ad server setups with creative details, landing URLs, and analytics tracking.
• Build taxonomy URLs and assign creatives to media placements.
• Collaborate with Brand Safety partners for tagging needs.
• Manage data integrity across digital activities.
• Support senior team members on projects.
• Conduct QA/testing of tags and troubleshoot issues.
• Distribute creative/ad tags to stakeholders/media partners.
• Build and maintain relationships with client service teams.
• Demonstrate curiosity, attention to detail, and a proactive learning attitude.
• Ensure team deliverables meet client objectives and quality standards.
• Employ creative problem-solving to business challenges.

About You

• Experience with trafficking, reporting, tagging, and Ad Operations.
• Proficiency in Excel and handling large data sheets.
• Knowledge of ad verification and brand safety tools.
• Ability to manage stakeholders across markets and teams.
• Technical aptitude for client service queries.
• Strong attention to detail, communication, analytical, and organizational skills.
• Team player with a collaborative ethic and a drive to succeed.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, changing environment.
• Media agency experience is a plus.

We offer a competitive salary, benefits like 28 days holiday plus additional paid leave, pension contributions, life assurance, and access to industry training. Join a fun, supportive, and developmental environment.
