If you require any adjustments or additional support during the recruitment process, for any reason whatsoever, please let us know at [email protected] 

 

At EssenceMediacom we want to eradicate inequity. We don't tolerate it and when we see it, we act. We attract, support and develop our talent without bias and strive to foster the empathy, creativity and diversity of thought needed to drivemeaningful change for our people, our clients, our industry and our society. WPP and GroupM have already madestrong commitments to combat racial injustice. While we are part of this group, we know we have an individual responsibility as an employer and an industry leader to fight against racism. That’s why we have pledged the following seven commitments.  

 

Even if you don’t meet all the requirements, that’s okay, and we encourage you to apply anyway to find out more about whether this is the right match for you.  

 

Did you know that marginalised groups including women, people of colour and people with a disability are more likely to discount themself for a role if they don't feel they meet every requirement or understand the reasonable adjustment that can be made? This is why we encourage connection and conversation to ensure that everyone has the opportunity and information needed to find the right role, for them. If this role isn’t quite right, you may be the perfect fit for another – so go ahead, apply and find out!  

 

 

Overview of role  

 

EssenceMediacom London is looking for a brilliant comms planner or strategist to join our market-leading strategy team.  

 

You will work on a range of clients depending on your interests, experience and skillset, but will most likely include two or three of some of the agency’s highest profile accounts.  

 

 

Reporting of the role  

 

You will report to the Joint Heads of Systems Strategy Team.  

 

 

3 best things about the job  

 

  1. The System Strategy team sits right at the heart of EssenceMediacom – we’re probably the only team that are connected to everyone – from Systems Intelligence (insights, business science), to Creative Systems, to implementational planning. We’re also relied on by senior management for advice. So despite the size of the agency, it’s very easy to make your mark as a EssenceMediacomstrategist.

 

  1. Because our role is to challenge and inspire the planning teams and the agency, not just lead upfront strategy, we get involved in lots of different types of projects; Thought leadership – writing and presenting provocative points of view for internal, client and industry, Consultancy – developing consultancy for beyond the brief projects, Strategic Excellence – developing the planning process, creating and running master classes, facilitating workshops internally and externally and Award winning ideas - running Innovation Slams – showcases of the best innovation from 20+ media partners, running Connected Pitching – a 24 hour turnaround brief for all of the junior planners in the agency, leading collaboration with creative partners, media owners and start-ups.

 

  1. Working in the most diverse team of strategists in London, twelve senior strategists with backgrounds in media, creative, digital, data and research, there is always someone with a different perspective to bounce ideas off.
