We are looking for a MANAGER, COMMUNICATIONS DESIGN (aka MEDIA PLANNING MANAGER) who can join our INITIATIVE (media agency) team:
ABOUT THE TEAMINITIATIVE is different to other media agencies.
We are not trapped by a legacy structure primarily centered on paid advertising. Instead, we are liberated by a new world structure designed to deliver highly differentiated and highly effective communications strategies for our clients.
Communications Design is the discipline and practice of crafting how a brand idea will be delivered through communications across an owned, earned and paid ecosystem in order to achieve a desired behavioral outcome.

Fearless in our approach.Be fearless. Push back on clients when appropriate. Have the courage to take bold ideas to the table. If you believe in something don’t take “no” for an answer. Remember, fortune really does favor the brave.
Brilliant in our work.Everything you do for the agency and our clients must be of the highest standard. Good enough is not good enough. Be obsessed about producing brilliant work. Every day. Every time. No exceptions.
Dynamic in our design.Be dynamic and agile. Design these things into your plans for clients. Remember we must keep pace with technology and consumers. Don’t be afraid of change, run towards it.
Seamless in our execution.We sell solutions not services. Always “stitch” together the various services of Initiative in a way that is seamless for clients. We operate as one united Omnicom Media and never in siloes. We will not tolerate “turf wars” across business units and expect you to play nicely in the sandpit as you collaborate with others.
