Client Executive – Non-Endemic Partnerships
Are you a commercially minded media professional looking for an opportunity to work with leading brands and agencies?
We have an exciting opportunity for a Client Executive to join the Asda Media team at Asda House.
As a Client Executive, you will support the growth of our non-endemic advertising proposition. You will work with brands outside Asda’s traditional supplier base—such as entertainment, travel, financial services, automotive, gaming and telecommunications—to help them connect with relevant Asda customers.
Using Asda’s rich first-party customer insight and audiences, you will help develop media recommendations across our offsite and digital channels, including programmatic display, connected TV and paid social, as well as relevant opportunities across Asda’s owned channels.
Working alongside the Client Manager and our Media, Insight and Operations teams, you will support the full client journey—from identifying prospects and responding to briefs through to campaign activation, reporting and renewal.
You will help manage client and agency relationships, maintain an accurate commercial pipeline and contribute towards agreed revenue targets. This is an exciting opportunity to develop your experience across retail media, agency partnerships and digital advertising within a rapidly growing area of Asda Media.
