Job description
At Publicis•Poke we are passionate about Sharp Commercial Creativity – the power of creativity to solve today’s commercial challenges across an evolving consumer journey. We are an agency born in the digital age, combining Communication, Brand Experience and Commerce specialisms.
Some of our clients include BT/EE, L’Oréal, Essity, Nestlé, Heineken, Renault/Dacia,Buxton, Garnier, Tourism Irleland and many more.
Our values are designed to guide the way we behave. We have three:
Empathy: listen with intent, look out for each other, bust your biases.
Invention: Find inspiration in strange places. Never stop experimenting. Make new things and make them useful.
Action: make it collaborative, make it happen, make it mean something.
Strategy is central to how we operate, working in close partnership with Creative and Account Management. Strategists are our quarterbacks, our red thread and our glue.
Our CSO, Alison Hoad is one of Londons most experienced CSO’s – having led strategy at BBH, Y&R and Weiden & Kennedy. We are on a mission to raise our profile and make sure we’re creating a Strategy team at Publicis•Poke that rivals any in London. We want to be known not just for game changing strategies that think outside but also generous and clever people.
We are looking for a strategist who wants to make a difference in their own career, to the agency, to their clients and to consumers with powerful thinking.
- Creative instinct and collaboration. We need someone who Creative Teams will respect and trust, and who can help make the work better. Someone who will happily sit in a room with creatives for a couple of hours to really get under the skin of a problem. Our Creative Teams respond best to this type of working, rather than simply passing the baton.
- Cultural curiosity. A deep and abiding interest in the patterns and trends that are shaping local culture and appreciation for what that means for Publicis, clients, brands and consumers.
- Team Player. Someone who jumps in to do what needs to be done and works as part of a team. Your role is of course not just about the accounts you work on but about the role you play in our team too. We are a crew of multi-disciplinary strategist who genuinely enjoy working together and who believe we are building something special. We come from brand strategy, comms planning, shopper and brand experience – but we are one team, curious about the approaches we all bring, working together to make great work. Introvert, extrovert or something in between doesn’t matter but we all commit to doing what we can to help each other learn and thrive.
