Director, Talent Planning & Performance (Remote)

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.” 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 help brands make BOLD MOVES. Bold moves are big, brave changes to media strategy, delivering more impact for brands and more value for consumers. This approach works for our clients, our people and consumers – it’s why we are recognised as the UK’s best media agency.
