- Planners lean on our strategic teams to provide direction, so they can implement and turn strategy into action.
- Our media investment team rely on our strategists to provide the clout that will unlock buying efficiencies with media suppliers.
- Our Power of One teams and creative agency partners need us to provide a deep understanding of the customer/ client / consumer and provide inspiration to produce meaningful communication.
- Because of this, we actively seek out strategic talent with the personality, ‘smarts’ and attitude to manage multiple work streams, multiple clients and multiple agency 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.
