About Ogilvy:  

Our vision is to inspire brands and people to impact the world. To create big ideas that make a significant contribution to the planet, society, and the bottom line. We believe in today’s world this is the best way for our clients to achieve sustainable growth. We achieve this by breaking down the barriers that restrict talent and ideas.    

Which is why our teams work fluidly across 5 capabilities: Advertising, Consulting, Experience, PR & Influencer, and Health.

Ogilvy scales this by seamlessly connecting and accessing the deep cultural expertise of 132 offices in 83 countries.

The Role:

Social and content has never been more important for clients. Showing up authentically, with intention, across social platforms helps brands connect with their audiences. It helps them to sell and serve better.  

This role provides the opportunity to work on a new and exciting client in our portfolio. You will have the opportunity to manage key campaigns for our clients across the year that will involve working with our strategy, creative and production team to deliver best in class content.  

This role is perfect for someone that has a passion for managing story telling content, and the desire to build on their skills and experience in delivering social campaigns that get Gen Z audiences excited and wanting to find out more.  

The work will primarily be focused on Instagram and TikTok, although a good understanding of the main social channels would be an advantage. The content will be focused on a UK Gen Z and Millennial audiences.  

The candidate will work with a Business Director, Account Director, Account Executive and a WPP network of support teams to not only deliver content but ensure it is performing effectively on an on-going basis, leaning into our research and data team.

• Experience working on shoots is preferable, along with managing presentation to client and approvals along the way.  

• You’ll be someone that loves to get stuck into a task, and collaborate with the client and agency teams, and make stuff happen!  

• You’ll have your finger on the social media pulse, have a working knowledge of platforms, especially Instagram and TikTok, and be able to spot trends as and when they are happening.
