Planning Associate Director - London, United Kingdom - Initiative
Description
Job Description
DISCIPLINE OVERVIEW: COMMUNICATIONS DESIGN
Communications design is the discipline and practice of crafting how a brand idea will be delivered through communications across an owned, earned and paid ecosystem in order to achieve a desired behavioral outcome.
Initiative's Communications Design team is creating the future of planning.Borrowing skills from User Experience, Digital, Public Relations and Content, these media professionals are responsible for curating how people connect and participate with brands through culturally rich ideas. Instead of considering the experience of a brand in components (media / channel planning), Communications Designers think about brand experience in totality (ecosystem planning) ensuring every encounter is useful and impactful.
The Communications Design team dynamically brings brands to life through their actions. They:
Are experts in consumer and communications behavior, and how changes in behaviors are creating new opportunities for connection
Lead the creation of the dynamic ecosystem approach to deliver a strategy
Work with partners (media, creative, technology, platforms, Specialty Business Units) to curate how a brand should connect within culture
Lead the identification of the right audiences to address how to meet business goals, and guide the quantification of connection encounters holistically
Champion innovative, forward thinking activities that help brands create value with their audience.
ROLE OVERVIEW: THE CLIENTS
This role is working on two of the most exciting accounts here at Initiative – Bupa and Salesforce.
Bupa Healthcare services is one of the largest clients within Initiative, they are a future facing digital client looking for us to show expert knowledge and leadership in how digital and technology can be used to compliment & enhance comms design solutions.
Bupa comprises five different business units, PMI (Private Media Insurance and what they are most famous for) SME, Dental, Care Homes and Clinics. The different BUs have very different requirements, from annual planning to monthly tactical campaigns, and the Comms Design Director plays a key role, working with the Strategy Lead, Comms Design and activation teams to develop through the funnel campaigns. This role will be responsible for looking after Clinics, Dental and SME.
We are very proud of the work we are doing with Bupa and this continues to evolve. Recently we worked on their This Is Health brand repositioning and currently we are supporting their GB Paralympic planning.
They are a digital first client looking for leadership and latest thinking on how offline meats online and the digitisation of all things media.
Salesforce is one of our most important clients globally. We work closely with the US in order to ensure we apply a local spin to the global strategy which we developed at the beginning of this year. The focus is on building awareness of their AI and CRM products to a focused BDM target audience.
ROLE OVERVIEW: ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR, COMMS DESIGN
As the Associate Director, Communications Design you are at the forefront of bringing the next generation of planning to life.

Your experience allows you to think outside the box and if necessary re-design the box altogether. These abilities enable you to orchestrate and oversee the design & produce market leading communication campaigns through ecosystem planning.
You have a demonstrable understanding of the digital landscape and how we can leverage digital-centric product to deliver client needs. Your understanding goes beyond digital media planning and activation, stretching to understanding the benefits of a sophisticated data & tech infrastructure, and the importance of optimizing clients owned & earned assets to create a seamless brand experience (including but not limited to SEO, CRO, Content and Digital PR).
