Planners are the backbone of our operations and the glue between strategy, reporting and Ad Operations.

  • Our clients rely on us to provide well thought-out media schedules that bring the strategic direction to life and work closely with the strategic team.
  • Our planners know how to calculate reach, set costs, volume-metrics and KPI targets.
  • Planners track budgets, raise CE's, produce and update media schedules.
  • Planners need to be able to run reach curves and calculate CPM rates across the relevant platforms.
  • Our planners work closely with the Ad Operations and campaign management teams, ensuring that the plans they build are correctly set-up, executed and optimized by the campaign managers.
  • Our planners will brief campaigns into the Ad Operations workflow management tool, ensuring our campaigns are tracked and managed from briefing to reporting.
  • Planners need to have a solid relationship with media owners and manage direct campaigns with care and precision.
  • Campaign managers need to ensure that their Google, Facebook and Twitter certifications are kept up to date - in line with Publicis training requirements.
  • Our clients and teams need to be kept up to date with the progress of all campaigns, so our planners need to be 100% on top of their portfolios and ensure that status sheets and progress reports are kept up to date and verbally reported back on in regular status meetings.
  • Planners at Starcom need to work closely with our digital analytics and strategy teams to deliver reports on time, every time.
  • Our clients expect value at every corner, so our planners need to remain hungry to negotiate value for every client in every opportunity.
  • Our Media Investment team rely on our planners to keep an accurate record of media investments and forecasts through our media planning and budget management tools – MEPlan and Powerhub.
  • Our Power of One teams and creative agency partners need our planners to deliver chase lists on time, every time and engage with our traffic managers to ensure creative is delivered on time.
  • Our planners are required to meticulously follow our internal Buying, Ad Operations and Power of One account processes.
  • We actively seek strategic talent with the personality, 'smarts' and attitude to manage multiple work streams and multiple stakeholders.
  • Starcom wants you to grow and thrive in an environment that demands strategic excellence.
  • In return, we provide a culture where everyone's opinions count, where your ideas and inputs are valued and where you are given the autonomy to push yourself as far as your ambition leads you.
  • Every person on our team is asked to chip in on birthday reminders, organizing social events and keeping an eye out on content opportunities for our social media pages.
