Influencer Campaign Manager

We help brands make BOLD MOVES. Nowadays, brands want rapid, spectacular growth and they expect media to deliver it. Clients used to give us media briefs that said “deliver 80% awareness” or “give me an impactful Christmas campaign.” Now we hear “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 huge asks of media, that can’t be met through tweaking the media plan of two years ago. Decades of advertising research prove that without a big change, large brands stay large and small brands stay small. This is why Zenith helps brands make BOLD MOVES. Bold moves are big, brave changes to media strategy, delivering more impact for brands and more value for consumers. Bold moves are backed up with a solid forecast – they are a better path to growth. Bold moves build a partnership – we believe in this approach so much we link our growth to your success. Bold Moves bring bigger ROI. This approach works for our clients, our people and consumers – it’s why we are recognised as the UK’s best media agency.

Our Commitment: At Zenith UK, we believe that fostering an inclusive culture where all talent can thrive makes our company stronger. It enables a greater idea exchange, which fosters innovation and creativity, and enriches our perspective. We are committed to Publicis Groupe’s wide variety of talent engagement and inclusion programming, and encourage our people to take an active role in continuing to drive positive change within our agency.

• Oversee commercial and operational excellence by managing Scopes of Work, tracking budgets, ensuring accurate financial reconciliation, and coordinating with Finance on invoicing, compliance, and timely payments.
• Build strong relationships across the influencer ecosystem – including creators, talent agents, platforms, and internal stakeholders – while educating wider teams on the role of influencer marketing within broader content strategies.

Qualifications:

• Deep influencer marketing and creator management expertise, with hands‑on experience running end‑to‑end campaigns – from talent sourcing and negotiation to content delivery, usage rights, and performance analysis.
• Strong understanding of the creator economy and social media landscape, including platform trends, audience behaviour, retail media connections, and evolving best practices.
• Excellent stakeholder and relationship management skills, able to build trust with influencers, agents, clients, and cross‑functional internal teams.
• Proven project and operational management capability, confident managing multiple campaigns, timelines, budgets, scopes of work, and compliance requirements across markets.
• Strong analytical and technical skills, including experience using influencer management and insights platforms (e.g., CreatorIQ, Traackr, Tagger) to inform strategy, optimise campaigns, and demonstrate success.
• Exceptional communication, negotiation, and leadership abilities, with the confidence to present ideas, guide others, challenge thinking constructively, and inspire creative and strategic storytelling.
