Senior Paid Social Executive
Paid Social Senior Account Executive – Microsoft Team
Company Description
We help brands make bold moves.
Nowadays, brands want rapid, extraordinary growth and expect media to deliver it. Clients used to give us briefs like:
- „Deliver 80% awareness.“
- „Create an impactful Christmas campaign.“
Now, we hear demands like:
- „Take me from 4th to 1st in my category.“
- „Help me grow 10% in a declining market of -10%.“
- „Make me the most loved brand in my industry.“
These are tremendous expectations for media, ones that can’t be achieved by tweaking outdated strategies. Decades of advertising research prove that without significant change, large brands stay large—and small brands stay small.
This is why Zenith helps brands make bold moves.
Bold moves are bold, winning shifts in media strategy—driving more impact for brands and greater value for consumers. They’re backed by solid forecasting, creating a more effective path to growth.
Bold moves build real partnerships—because we believe in this approach so strongly, we link our success to your growth.
Zenith’s Commitment
At Zenith UK, we believe fostering an inclusive culture where all talent can thrive strengthens our agency. It sparks great ideas, innovation, and creativity, enriching our perspective.
We’re deeply committed to Publicis Groupe’s diverse talent engagement and inclusion programs, encouraging our people to actively drive positive change within our agency.
Overview
We’re hiring a Paid Social Senior Account Executive to join our Microsoft team, helping to deliver insight-driven, high-impact campaigns across global social platforms.
This is a brilliant opportunity to shape how Microsoft connects with its audiences through creative, performance-led social media activity. You’ll play a key role in both planning and execution, blending creativity and data to drive measurable results.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
