What will you be doing?
The client is a luxury automotive manufacturer and a key brand within one of our largest global accounts across Publicis. The brand recently went through a bold relaunch, re-establishing itself as a luxury sports-car brand, with its heritage deeply rooted in Italian automotive history. As part of this relaunch, the brand has seen the release of many new models, all of which featuring electrified versions.
The client's media strategy is digital first, with over 90% of media budget invested digital channels. The UK Senior Account Manager will be the main point of contact for the UK client, managing all media strategy and planning tasks, whilst also working closely with each channel activation specialist ensuring campaigns go live accurately and on time.
The UK Senior Account Manager will also work closely with the Starcom Global and EMEA teams, based in Italy, to ensure local market media directives, process changes, and reporting requests from Global and EMEA are actioned. The role is a great opportunity for an experienced and independent Account Manager to service and drive forward an exciting luxury-automotive account.
