About the Team & the Role
Join a tier-one Global Media Agency as a pivotal player working on a highly coveted, newly acquired flagship account. We are currently in a rapid transition period, establishing the foundational team for this fast-paced brand, and require an experienced Freelance Planning Director to hit the ground running and manage immediate business needs.
In this highly visible, autonomous role, you will act as the primary client lead in the UK, operating with agility to respond to immediate media briefs. You will work independently on the ground while collaborating closely alongside a central coordination hub, shaping the client's media presence across major Above the Line (ATL) channels.
What You Will Do
- Act as the primary, client-facing planning lead in the UK for a recently onboarded, high-profile brand.
- Collaborate seamlessly with central network hubs and administrative coordinators to establish new workflows and steady the account transition.
- Plan and execute comprehensive Above the Line (ATL) media campaigns, heavily indexing across TV, Radio, VOD, and Out-of-Home (OOH).
- Integrate direct digital planning into broader media strategies (excluding biddable/performance media).
Agile Operations & Brief Management
- Work autonomously to manage rapid responses to emerging media briefs and dynamic client requests.
- Operate in a highly agile, reactive manner to meet tight turnaround times while maintaining rigorous strategic standards.
What You Bring to the Table
- UK Media Expertise: A deeply established background in UK-specific media planning, specifically across ATL channels (TV, Radio, VOD, OOH).
- Agility & Pace: Proven ability to work in a fast-paced, reactive environment, successfully managing rapid client transitions or new business onboarding with enthusiasm.
- Independence & Proactivity: High level of autonomy with the readiness to handle both strategic client-facing duties and foundational administrative tasks to get a new account off the ground.
