Job Overview
Walker is one of the leading advertising agencies in the South – with an award-winning team and a fantastic portfolio of global clients including Mentos, Pukka, OS Maps, Monty Bojangles and many more.
We’re a UK Top 100 Creative Agency, ranked in the Top 20 outside of London and named in Campaign's Best Places to Work. Oh, and we’re located just a few minutes’ walk from the beach in Bournemouth. Our strategy team is growing, so we’re looking for someone who understands brand and comms planning, but with a particular focus on social.
The Role
We’re on the lookout for someone who can bring confident direction for how our clients (including OS Maps, Mentos, Juice Burst, Smint, Ageas) can win across the full social ecosystem including owned, paid and earned channels. You’ll understand how content pillars will flex with trends / commercial goals and be delivered true to platform - but also how this fits within their wider TTL mix.
We are looking for a Strategist with experience in devising integrated social plans that deliver against client objectives and deliver both short term social metrics and ladder up to long term effectiveness.
A successful candidate will need to sell innovative new approaches to social strategy, setting out clear rationale and implications for messaging, activation and phasing.
