Paid Social Account Manager - Magnum in London

We help brands make BOLD MOVES. 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%", and "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. Bold moves are big, brave changes to media strategy, delivering more impact for brands and more value for consumers. Bold moves build a partnership – we believe in this approach so much we link our growth to your success.
