Department: Influence

Location: London

The Role:

We are looking for a brilliant creative strategist who can generate award-winning campaign ideas and influencer marketing strategy that is rooted in culture and earns the right to be seen and talked about.

We need someone who is influence first, engrained in social culture and always on top of the latest channel formats and trends. You should be comfortable with both paid and earned ideas, and excited by the idea of working across a plethora of portfolios.

As part of the Influence offering at Ogilvy UK, you will bring insight, inspiration and creative energy to a broad range of high-profile corporate and consumer brands across both paid and earned. You’ll be working primarily within the Influence team – so knowing how to earn attention is key – but earned-first experience and insight is increasingly relevant for all of Ogilvy’s mega businesses. From customer experience, behavioural science or advertising and branding – you’ll have plenty of shiny new toys to play with.

The mission of the Influence Creative Strategy team is ultimately to make the Influence output of the agency the best it can be, which can only happen with brilliant creative guidance, smart strategy and co-creation with our influencer talent. Projects range from brand positioning projects, launching new products with influencers and services, developing communications frameworks amongst many other things. In our world, no day, nor brief, is the same, meaning an embracing of agility and efficiency are vital. You will know the importance of working collaboratively with other creatives to reach the best ideas, along with our specialist influence accounts team who deeply understand our clients’ needs. And of course, always bringing a natural curiosity for the many different ways customers interact with brands.

The Skillset:

• Conceptual and Strategic Thinking: Challenge assumptions & lead across disciplines.
• Tapped into culture: Constantly finding inspiration in the social space.
• Ideation: Able to build award-winning, effective, influence-first creative.
• Storytelling: Defining the idea, proving, communicating & selling it.

How we help you Thrive:

• 25 days annual leave + 1 Volunteer Day
• Enhanced Maternity, Adoption and Shared Parental Leave
• We have a Flexible Working Model with core working hours: 10am – 4pm
• Wellbeing and Health: Up to £25.00 per month towards physical or online exercise class membership, Unmind membership, LifeWorks tool and annual eye tests and development budgets and Wellbeing incentives and activities throughout the year
• Season Ticket Loan and Cycle to Work Scheme
• Life Assurance
