Frontend Developer

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Essence&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Essence, part of GroupM, is a global data and measurement-driven media agency whose mission is to make advertising more valuable to the world. Clients include Google, Flipkart, NBCUniversal, L&#39;Oreal and the Financial Times. The agency is more than 1,800 people strong, manages $4B in annualized media spend and deploys campaigns in 106 markets via 20 offices in APAC, EMEA and North America.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Visit essenceglobal.com for more information and follow us on Twitter at @essenceglobal&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the role&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This role is a part of the Experience group at Essence. You will be responsible for driving strategic thinking and deliverables related to how creative and media play together. You understand comms strategy and feel comfortable talking all things media but your bread and butter is creative strategy specifically.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You’re operating as the main point of contact for creative strategy for our clients, under the leadership of the Head of Experience, all while doing research, formulating insights, brainstorming new ideas, and reviewing data with serious rigour. You will work closely with our creative studio, as well as our partnerships team, to propose and secure creative projects with a highly innovative client.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Some of the things we’d like you to do:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Insight Generation&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You will be the audience advocate in the agency. You’ll be exploring audiences, their habits, behaviours and attitudes on a daily basis (using various sources) gathering the information and data to then turn it all into compelling insights. You know and respect the difference between a data point and an insight. You’ll always build your strategy based on real insights rather than opinion-only. You’ll be confident in leading the strategy on priority campaigns as well as long-term brand &amp;amp; content strategic planning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Creative Brief writing - for digital creative, content and partnerships&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You will spend most of your time with the Creative and Content teams at Essence (they’re a lovely bunch!). Your job will be to inform their creative output and inspire them. You will articulate your creative strategy into concise briefs and run interactive briefing sessions that naturally get the creative juices flowing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Leadership - cultivating culture of creativity&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You’ll be the sounding board for our creatives and content specialists - making sure the ideas are responding to your brief and are built with our audiences in mind. You’ll push the team to think differently and you’ll cultivate the culture of curiosity and creativity. You’ll be crafting the story around the ideas to bring, present and defend to the client. You’ll become a trusted resource and partner to clients, especially their innovation leads, not afraid to have the tough conversations when necessary.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Innovation&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On top of all of that, you will push us. We like to puzzle over new data sets, new signals from social platforms, new ways to design creative assets, new testing structures, and new ad products for our clients. It’s all new, unknown and just waiting for us to figure it out. In this role, you’ll get to guide how the innovation agenda looks like.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A bit about yourself:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You&#39;re a born strategist with plenty of experience unpacking audiences, analysing human behaviour and attitudes, observing culture to craft powerful and original insights from data, research and trends. Persuasive about the role of data to fuel creative and the ability to present &lt;strong&gt;insights&lt;/strong&gt; everywhere from boardrooms to bars.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can articulate insights-led&lt;strong&gt; creative strategy&lt;/strong&gt; to inform &lt;strong&gt;digital creative&lt;/strong&gt; (our work leans into innovative formats, new tech solutions rather than revisioning assets so any experience in new tech is a bonus). You easily turn cultural truths and insights into compelling &lt;strong&gt;content strategy&lt;/strong&gt; and&lt;strong&gt; partnerships&lt;/strong&gt; opportunities.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You write beautifully clear and concise &lt;strong&gt;creative briefs&lt;/strong&gt; and you feel energised when you run &lt;strong&gt;briefing sessions&lt;/strong&gt; and idea generation &lt;strong&gt;workshops&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In a nutshell, you’ll have:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Around 10+ years experience&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Prior experience in a planning / strategy department in a creative agency&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;More creative than analytical, yet strong in both&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Prior experience working on a global account&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Strong understanding of Facebook, Google, Twitter, LinkedIn etc and how we can use those tools for insights and partnership executions&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Vision for where Creative Strategy and our industry is going&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Knowledge of UK, German and French publishers and partners a plus&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You should enjoy working at the edge of what is known in our industry and fuelled by trying to figure it out. Ideally you’re passionate about your career, and are still a good time if we’re stuck at an airport for a few hours.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We emphasise behaviours. If you like to point and direct, we are not a good fit. We value emotional intelligence, curiosity, collaboration above all else. For this role, we also need a tenacious and persuasive person that can motivate others.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What you can expect from Essence&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Essence’s mission is to make advertising more valuable to the world. We do this by employing the world’s very best talent to solve some of the toughest challenges of today’s digital marketing landscape.

Head of Creative Strategy

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the role&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our Media Activation team is responsible for providing thoughtful and effective recommendations across all channels in Search, Social, Display and Video. They own and nurture our platform and publisher partner relationships, leveraging them to brilliant effect for the benefit of our clients. They are experts in the deft and precise execution of activity in their channel, showing pride in and passion for their area of expertise. Our Activation teams leverage their mastery of each channel to consistently produce excellent and innovative recommendations, while maximising in-channel performance and data integrity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Head of Media Activation is responsible for leading this team and their output in EMEA.&amp;nbsp; With oversight of four large Media Activation teams, each focused on delivery for a different client group, a large part of the role lies in ensuring consistently high standards of delivery across the agency. In addition to this responsibility for execution across all channels (digital and traditional), the Head of Media Activation plays a key role in supporting new business efforts and representing Essence via industry thought leadership.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Have an in-depth knowledge of display, and working knowledge of other biddable platforms&lt;/li&gt;

They foster strong external relationships and keep a close eye on the market to ensure new opportunities and research are reviewed and implemented for the benefit of their clients.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the role&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You’ll be part of a newly formed “B-Suite” to support Google Cloud, as well as support the broader Google B2C business. Your responsibilities will be split across two key parts of our planning process:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In your role as account manager, you’ll work closely with our strategy and media teams to identify the need and opportunity for creative activity, organise the creative response, and assign a budget for the work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your principal responsibility is flawless delivery that addresses client need on time and on budget. You’ll be turning opportunities into recommendations and concepts into reality. That means coordinating the team to produce a realistic cost estimate and project plan, formulating the specifications of the project - from scope of work through to functional specifications and beyond, managing the process and then managing creatives, designers and developers (both in-house team members, through partners or remotely) to ensure the end product is built to spec and on time. Of course this means being cool, calm and collected in the face of tight deadlines!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You’ll often need to make the complex simple. You may discuss projects with people less well versed in technology, and you can help them to make good decisions.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Influential communicator&lt;/strong&gt;: you have an ability to influence clients as well as collaborate with and motivate internal teams to deliver client objectives &amp;amp; projects. Working across internal teams where necessary, to get support.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Technical understanding&lt;/strong&gt;: you’ll have a good understanding of related technologies including ad serving, HTML, CSS and a desire to understand more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Documentation skills&lt;/strong&gt;: you are comfortable producing and maintaining core project documents, including briefs, plans and test scripts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Exceptional attention to detail&lt;/strong&gt;: you’ll naturally have a deep sense of ownership of and commitment to curate your projects. You can spot when something isn’t right and get it sorted unprompted.&lt;/p&gt;

Revise as appropriate to meet changing needs and requirements. Ensure that the appropriate resources are identified and assigned to the correct tasks.&lt;/p&gt;
