Over the next three years, OMG will be building a 170-person operation in Newcastle. Our vision is for that to be a diverse agency community made up of a range of skills and specialisms, working side-by-side with our colleagues in London and Manchester to deliver outstanding marketing and communications solutions to our clients.
Omnicom Media Group UK (OMG UK) is the media division of Omnicom Group Inc., headquartered in London. OMG UK exists to power its four UK agencies - OMD UK, MG OMD, PHD UK, and Hearts & Science. The four agencies have open access to OMG's centres of excellence which provide market-leading capabilities across Digital Marketing, Creative Solutions, Investment, and Futures.
OMG UK agencies are holders of numerous Agency and Network of the Year accolades, including most recently; Campaign's Global Media Agency of the Year and Media Week's Best Agency Partner - MG OMD, Media Week's Media Agency of the Year - OMD, and Best European Network @ Campaign Global Agency of the Year awards - PHD. The group has also won multiple awards at the Global Festival of Media Awards, Cannes Lions, The Drum Awards, and IPA Effectiveness Awards.
This is a hugely exciting opportunity to be part of a brand new team we are establishing at OMG Newcastle, working exclusively with the Manning Gottlieb OMD agency, winners of Campaign Magazine's Agency of the Year in 2023 and 2024.
This team will be responsible for working with a range of leading clients across the agency portfolio alongside the team in our London office.
Position: Account Director
The Account Director will be responsible for ensuring the implementation of planned strategies, alignment with MG and client business goals, and adherence to commercial agreements. They will lead and set the strategic direction for search across their accounts, and as part of media planning, map growth opportunities through the search maturity framework to incorporate the latest practices, products, and approved vendors.
As the senior lead across their accounts, they should feel comfortable advocating for the strategic direction to clients and stakeholders across the organization, ensuring that PPC aligns with other paid media activities. Ad hoc support for new business pitches may be required to support the agency's growth.
The Account Director will need to demonstrate strong skills in leadership and team management. This involves leading the account and supporting the team, providing thought leadership and strategy, managing relationships both internally and externally, and ensuring that processes are followed rigorously. Team management will involve onboarding new team members, as well as fostering the overall growth and development of specialists within the team.
