You will be supporting Brand Strategy and Sales teams in developing and pitching holistic, integrated campaigns to a diverse portfolio of cross-category clients.

Our mission is to attract, influence and hand hold brands with data-fueled creativity.

As a founding member of this newly established team, you will play a critical role in driving the creative strategy for the region.
