Job description

Job Description:

People don't think in media channels. They move between screens, places, conversations, and moments. Good connection planning is about understanding those behaviours and figuring out where a brand can genuinely make a difference.

As a Senior Connection Planner at dentsu, you'll turn audience behaviour, data, culture, and business objectives into clear thinking on where, when, and how brands should connect with people. You'll work with Strategy, Investment, Creative, Data, and clients to turn that thinking into plans that make sense for both people and the business.

Bring your media experience. Bring your point of view. Make the thinking count.
