For my client, an award winning creative communications, design and digital agency, this role will be one of the key faces of digital within the team, able to recognise when digital is ‘fit for purpose’ and when it’s not.
The person coming on board will be responsible for developing the agency’s digital opportunities, supporting their positioning through blog posts, white papers, internal direction, client comms, etc, as well as research and planning (gathering an understanding of each clients’ business goals, analytics, etc) and IA (employing usability best practice, etc).
As well as being a replacement for someone who is leaving, this position also presents an opportunity to hire in someone who will be able to lead accounts outside of defined projects, and take the strategic lead on a number of the agency’s larger accounts. Over time, as the teams grows and others are employed to oversee IA and research, this position will become more managerial too; so there’s definite scope for career development.
In terms of actual experience, I am looking for a midweight, someone who is a strong digital advocate, usability proponent, strategy developer, great communicator and presenter of vision and plans.
The person coming on board will be a self starter for sure; keen, confident and quick to learn. They will have worked in digital for most of their career (within either pure play or integrated environments) and had responsibility for developing digital strategies and creating websites for large clients.
This is a great opportunity to take the next career step and join an evolving and dynamic agency that integrates digital into a total brand and communications strategy for their clients, ensuring as I said earlier, that it plays a role that is fit for purpose, working in tandem with offline channels.
If you’re interested in finding out a little more about this position, please drop an email to tim@timothycreative.com or call 07710 419 702 and I’ll fill you in. Thanks for your interest.
