About The Position

We are OMD, Cannes Lions 2024 Media Network of the Year, RECMA's Best-Performing Media Network Globally, and COMvergence's #1 Global Agency Network. As the world’s largest media network, with more than 12,000 people working in over 100 countries, we excel at making better decisions, faster. By combining innovation, creativity, empathy, and evidence, we help clients move faster, reach further, and take smarter risks in a world full of opportunities We pride ourselves on being a people-obsessed, outcomes-focused business that applies evidence and data-based solutions, married with the practice of empathy, to drive performance and growth. When working with our clients, we put ourselves in the shoes of the consumer in order to see the world through their eyes. We focus on finding greater empathy with the consumer so as to uncover insights and opportunities that deliver more valued and valuable connections. Who we’re looking for: Does the thought of social engines, targeted interests, and ad copy & image testing make you jump out of your chair with excitement? Do you eat, drink, and breathe bid optimizations? We want to talk to you! We are on the hunt for a superstar looking to begin their career in Social Marketing - a solution-seeker who always looks on the bright side and is willing to jump over obstacles to bring the work from good to great! We value our culture above anything else, and that culture is built on the spirit of our people. We’re looking for tireless optimists, happy warriors and fearless collaborators who bring that extra dose of contagious energy. The Opportunity: If you’re reading this, we want to talk to you about joining our team as a Social Associate. Your responsibilities will include: You will be poised for a position of growth within your Digital Activation team - the person closest to the day-to-day details of the campaign and working closely with a more experienced Strategist to learn methods of data analysis and bid management to identify opportunities and unlock new heights of campaign performance. In addition to execution and management, you’ll have opportunities to contribute ideas to the planning process and help guide the direction of every campaign you work on. You’ll have the privilege to collaborate with some of the best minds in the business while working on some of the world’s leading brands. As a member of the Omnicom Media Group, employees have a wealth of resources at their fingertips including customized training from the likes of Facebook, Twitter and TikTok as well as regular updates on industry research and best practices to keep you at the top of the field. Even if you decide that Social isn’t where you want to be and you’re more of a Marketing Science type, we offer the ability to switch disciplines and explore new paths with ease. Our expectations of you: Associates are the bedrock of the Digital Activation teams and serve a vital role - months of prep work from client and agency stakeholders finally culminates in you pressing the “Go” button and spending the budget, so we expect you to be on top of your responsibilities from start to finish. We’ll expect you to clearly communicate both successes and failures, and work to replicate the wins and quickly identify and remedy the missteps. In addition to the nuts and bolts of Social and maintaining a positive return on investment for our clients, a successful Associate needs to be curious and consider education as a key tenet of their role. We’ll expect you to take advantage of provided training and workshops, both to advance your own knowledge of Social and to learn the fundamentals of your teammate’s channels. We’ll expect you to keep abreast of industry changes and updates. We’ll expect you to take notes at a lunch-and-learn. We’ll expect you to apply what you’ve learned to your client work.
