**Company Description** Who we are**:
**We are the human experience company**

**We create experiences people love and actions brands need**.

When we combine our deep understanding of people with our unmatched expertise in media, magic happens : experiences get invited in, not filtered out.

Data guides us to opportunity, uncovering what people want and how to reach them. Technology makes personalisation and relevance possible. Creativity makes it magic.

**Our Philosophy on Strategy**:
Strategy sits at the center of what we do - without it, we can’t bring insight to data or direction that delivers business outcomes.
- Our clients relay on us to provide the data and direction that will deliver business outcomes - uncovering new market opportunities, growing their business and delivering real ROI.
- Our clients need to be kept in touch with what is happening in the world around them and we ensure that they are empowered with the trended insights that cover their industry, category and customer / client / consumer market.

- Our clients want to get their time in the sun and be made famous for the work they produce in partnership with their agency teams - to do this, we need to regularly be entering at least two awards per year.
- Starcom and Publicis Media need to showcase the great work you do. To do this we need at least two case studies produced, from the work that you do each year.
- 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.
