Introduction

Dentsu is the network designed for what's next, helping clients predict and plan for disruptive future opportunities and create new paths to growth in the sustainable economy.

Taking a people-centered approach to business transformation, we use insights to connect brand, content, commerce, and experience, underpinned by modern creativity.

iProspect
- a global digital-first end-to-end media agency. Its unmatched mix of media strategy and storytelling with digital expertise and audience knowledge defines the new territory of performance-driven brand building. By delivering human-centric solutions, iProspect accelerates growth for the world's most iconic brands including Sonos, Cox, LG, Hilton, Levi's, Budweiser, Microsoft, and Procter & Gamble. The iProspect team works across a network of more than 8,000 media and performance specialists spread across 93 global markets.

Purpose of the Role

Is primarily to grow our clients' businesses through delivering compelling, concise strategies that effectively diagnose the communications challenge and identify the role for media in overcoming it, providing clear, actionable tactics that inform activation.

Specifically as strategic lead for BMW Group (BMW, Mini) and 1 of 2 strategists working across the CMBC portfolio of brands including Carlsberg, San Miguel, Poretti and 1664.

Insight-generation, experimentation and an eye for bold, creative, award-worthy media solutions are particularly valued in these client groups.

Additionally, a Strategy Partner at iProspect will regularly contribute to new business pitches, training and thought-leadership development and the growth of experimentation across all aspects of the agency.
