WHAT WE DO

Digitas Health London is the People-Powered Health agency: We help brands engage with people to deliver ideal health, now.

We work together to help people-centric health brands deliver new business value through new customer experiences. Whether connected content programmes, mobile apps, digital services, or social communities, we use digital and emerging technologies to help healthcare brands build loyalty, break habits, connect care ecosystems, and disrupt traditional markets.

Job Description

At DH London, we believe the healthcare industry is ready for something new. New tech platforms, data-driven engagement models, and digital product divisions may be foundational to the current wave of change, but it’s ideas, experiences and stories that inspire people to change behaviour. And that’s where you come in. Our work can take on many different forms from product design through to brand launches and omnichannel frameworks.

• You will be able to get urgent/unplanned work done when required, due to the trust and respect you have earned from the wider agency team
• You will have an ability to keep calm, and avoid creating crises for others
• You will be driven and motivated, but realistic about what can be achieved, time frames, capacity, capability
• You will motivate the wider team creating a collaborative and energetic spirit within your accounts
• You will write briefs and provide supporting material for the UX and Creative departments which are thought-through and appropriate
• You will have the ability to assess creative work against a brief, and give rational objective feedback
• You will be able to ‘defend’ creative work against the original brief with objectivity and a sound understanding of the function of brands
