- An innovative soul that isn’t scared of continually trying or learning new things in the name of progress
- Knowledge in Fintech, B2B and Destination Marketing
What’s in it for you:
- A tremendous opportunity to drive the growth of your career in a very entrepreneurial, nimble and open-minded organization
- A real voice in the company. Your ideas, plans and feedback will have an impact, guaranteed
- A supportive and collaborative leadership structure that truly cares about their people
- A smart, innovative and fun-loving group of people to call your work family
- A stable workplace with a 5-year average employee tenure – people like it here!
You’ve done this before:
- Have had field experience as a channel specialist or media planner/buyer
- Developed high-performing, multi-channel digital programs within an agency setting
- Nailed how to successfully pitch a media plan and communicate predictive performance in a compelling way
- Proven yourself to be a valuable and trusted asset to clients
- Been integral to the growth and success of an agency
