Paid Social Senior Account Executive – Microsoft Team (Zenith UK)
Company Description
We help brands make BOLD MOVES
Nowadays, brands demand rapid, spectacular growth, and they expect media to deliver it. Traditional media briefs like “deliver 80% awareness” or “impactful Christmas campaigns” are evolving.
Modern demands include:
- “Take me from 4th to 1st in my category”
- “Help me grow 10% in a market declining 10%”
- “Make me the most loved brand in my industry”
These are transformative challenges media alone cannot unlock. Decades of advertising research show that without bold change, large brands remain large, and small brands stay small—*which is why Zenith helps brands make bold moves.
Bold moves are big, brave shifts in media strategy, delivering greater brand impact and consumer value. They’re backed by rigorous forecasts, a smarter path to growth, and a true partnership—our success mirrors clients’ success.
This approach elevates ROI for clients, empowers employees, and enriches consumers, earning Zenith recognition as the UK’s #1 media agency.
Our Commitment
At Zenith UK, we foster an inclusive culture where every talent can thrive. Diversity drives innovation, creativity, and a richer perspective. We uphold Publicis Groupe’s initiatives for talent engagement and inclusion, encouraging everyone to champion progress within our agency.
