- Keep clients and senior management informed with regular campaign updates.
- Set priorities for the team as well as yourself, and manage the output of internal and external resource.

A Bit More About EssenceMediacom
EssenceMediacom calls itself a new breed of media agency. Analytics and insight are the foundation. Data and technology are the engine.
The belief is simple. Media and creative, working together, drive breakthroughs for brands. The agency is built for people and algorithms, built to test and learn at scale, and built to evolve.
The culture rests on three ideas: be extraordinary, create an open environment and lead optimistically. Trust, growth and collective leadership sit underneath all three.
EssenceMediacom is an equal opportunity employer, committed to a culture of respect where everyone belongs and everyone has the same opportunities to progress.
Denholm's take
What stands out here is the ownership. One person sees the campaign through from brief to results, and that same person leads the team and holds the client relationship.
Add an agency with serious data and technology behind it, and you have a role that turns a strong planner into a rounded client lead.
