Job Description
Thanks to some fabulous new client wins, the social media team at McCann Birmingham is on the hunt for a brand-new Account Director. The successful candidate will join a creative and collaborative social media team and will work on a range of global and national brands.
Why would you want to work here?
McCann Birmingham is part of McCann Central, the UK’s largest integrated agency. Over 500 individuals work together to help brands play a meaningful role in people’s lives. We are also part of McCann Worldgroup, a global agency network that delivers culture-shaping work for some of the world’s biggest brands.
And to add to the (literal) wheelbarrow full of awards we’ve got, including Euro Effies most effective global agency, Cannes Network of the Year, Campaign’s European Integrated Agency of the Year, not to mention McCann Central’s haul of awards in recent years at Cannes Lions, Clios, One Show, D&AD, LIAs, Golden Drum & Creative Circle Awards. So creativity really is at the forefront of everything we do.
We’re a team of passionate creatives, strategists, and marketers from a wide mix of backgrounds. But there’s a lot that unites us – like caring deeply about everything we make. And though our skillsets are wide and our process knowledge is deep, we are all still learning every day.
The Role
The social media team is part of the wider McCann team, so you’ll work on integrated clients, as well as your own portfolio. You will have access to the latest social media tools, as well as direct access to the social channels themselves. With a fully resourced social team, which includes paid specialists, content creators, social strategists, community managers, and account handlers, you’ll be joining one of the biggest social teams in the region.
If you have experience working in agencies leading social media strategy and delivery, then we want to hear from you. You’ll need to demonstrate exceptional social media knowledge and expertise, as well as excellent client handling skills. You’ll be equally comfortable developing plans for existing clients as you are pitching for new business.
If you think you have what it takes then get in touch. Don’t hang around though…opportunities like this don’t come around often.
Requirements
* Experience working within an advertising agency
* Ability to develop clear social strategies and proposals
* A detailed understanding of social media strategy, operations, and content planning
* High level understanding of paid social strategy
* Excellent client handling skills
* Ability to develop plans for existing clients and pitch for new business
Benefits
In addition to a competitive salary, we are committed to creating a brilliant environment for all our people. This includes benefits such as 28 days holiday, plus the opportunity to take additional fully paid leave, enhanced pension contributions, life assurance, and much more.
A culture of learning and development is also central to our ethos, so you’ll have access to industry-leading training and development programmes. Plus, you’ll get to work closely with the world’s biggest media partners to access exclusive features and products.
Most importantly, you’ll be part of a fun and collaborative team, and you’ll work in an environment where you are supported and developed.
Our commitment to equal opportunities
For us, diversity is a business imperative – one that must be embedded into every aspect of how we operate in order to drive success. Simply put, we believe an encouraging and inclusive environment makes sound business sense.
As a globally integrated community that influences and shapes culture, it’s vital that the talent mix in our agencies encompasses all dimensions of diversity, and that we demand the same of the people we work with.
Conscious inclusion encompasses social, cultural, and cognitive differences and cultivates an ethos of belonging, connection, and shared purpose. It is the integration of this philosophy that allows us to create meaningful experiences for our employees, drive better business practices with our vendors and clients, and ultimately lead with purpose.
McCann is a disability confident committed employer and will guarantee an interview to any disabled candidate who meets the minimum criteria for this role, so please do let us know when you apply if you are eligible, along with any adjustments you may need to the recruitment process to enable you to perform at your best.
