Hello...We're looking for an Account Director!

Who are we?

We're Mediahub, the industry's best-kept secret. This year we got our first Campaign School Report, coming in at number one for building the most ethnically diverse team in the industry. COMvergence ranks us as the UK's fastest-growing media agency for the second year running.

You'll be joining an agency that is for everyone. We live by our values:

Anticipate tomorrow - we are challengers, we are proactive in thinking about what needs to happen today in order to make tomorrow better.

Hustle from the heart - we move fast, take ownership, and look out for each other.

Perform with pride - we take pride and care in what we do and we strive for excellence.

Believe you can - believe in yourself to make a difference; believe in each other to do great things.

Stay curious - we have fun on the journey of discovery.

What will you do?

In this exciting role, you'll be responsible for the overall direction, development, and performance of our clients' business in the DIY sector. You will be accountable for the client relationship as well as the performance and development of the team.

This role covers full-service media planning and buying across Display, Paid social, TV, press, OOH & radio. You'll be working with a wider team of media strategists, individual channel specialists, and our data teams. We plan & buy activity across all channels working closely with specialist teams in IPG to support at key points.

About You

Passionate about media & communications; you see how effective media campaigns make a real difference to a client's business.

You'll have a few years demonstrable experience in a media agency in an account handling role, being a cross-channel planning/buying aficionado, with a head for numbers and a heart for creativity.

You are curious about the industry and excited about learning and continued development, bringing the same to your media plans.

You'll have the ability to think strategically and look for creative solutions to briefs and commercial opportunities to grow clients.

With a solid background in team leadership and management, you'll enjoy nurturing talent and helping them to achieve their goals.

Benefits
