Overview

Turn insight into ideas that power brands across borders.

Role

We're hiring a Strategy Manager to join our international strategy team-translating audience data, research and media insights into strategic direction across a wide portfolio of brands and markets.

Based in London, you'll work closely with Strategy Directors to help define regional communications strategies and connect them into local activation plans. You'll deep dive into audience profiling, identify behavioural trends, and apply human insight in a way that inspires effective, channel-neutral media strategies.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone stepping up from a Senior Exec or Junior Media Manager role, who is ready to move closer to strategy and be involved in meaningful planning work at scale.

What you'll be doing

• Supporting the strategy team in building regional strategy that feeds directly into local planning
• Using tools like GWI, TGI, and Publicis' proprietary platforms to define and profile key audiences
• Translating insight into storylines and supporting presentations
• Collaborating across commerce, content and social to support end-to-end campaign thinking
• Helping manage the flow of work, from brief to delivery
• Conducting desk research, reviewing local plans and learning what works in-market

What we're looking for

• Experience in media planning, insights or strategy (local or international)
• A passion for audience insight, storytelling, and media strategy
• Good Excel and PowerPoint skills
• Comfortable working with data and distilling it into meaningful action
• A natural curiosity about people, platforms and performance
• A team player who's collaborative, driven, and not afraid to speak up
• Someone looking to grow into a future Strategy Director role

Why this role stands out

• This is where strategy is built-you'll help set the direction that local teams follow
• A rare opportunity to be involved in multi-market strategy from the outset
• Incredible exposure to connected media thinking: commerce, content, digital, data
• Work with one of the industry's most respected global clients-collaborative, smart and curious
• A clear pathway for personal growth, learning and progression
