PlannerNonsense London
- London, United KingdomFull Time
My role focused on developing strategic thinking to ensure that human truths are discovered and relevant insights are used to craft effective creative content. I worked across a wide range of clients from both the commercial (e.g.: Sky, New Covent Garden Soup Co., BBC) and NFP (e.g.: CRUK, British Council, Greenpeace) sectors. Ultimately, it was my job is to ensure people connect with the work produced and most importantly, that strong business results were delivered for clients.
I was required to be reactive - tackling multiple planning challenges at any given time. This meant I developed a broad set of planning skills that include working on brand positioning pieces, devising campaign rollout plans, and crafting KPI frameworks. Additionally, I was heavily involved in the new business process where I was expected to lead pitches, present our agency credentials and work closely with board members to make commercial decisions.
