Social Account Director

Company description

We are Saatchi & Saatchi – a full service, integrated communications network, with 114 offices in 67 countries, with our headquarters in London. Saatchi & Saatchi is part of the Publicis Groupe, the world’s third‑largest communications group.

Saatchi & Saatchi launched in 1970, with the philosophy that “Nothing is Impossible” – a statement that crowns the top of our London building and is fundamental to our spirit. We approach things with the audacity of chutzpah. Chutzpah defines our culture at Saatchi & Saatchi. It’s the quality of audacity. Because if you are going to attempt impossible things you have to have the audacity to believe you can achieve them.

It helped us build an agency we are really proud of and does things differently – which means an industry leading diversity approach, that includes Saatchi Ignite – our curriculum‑based schools programme, Saatchi Open – our entry level programme, Saatchi Home – our affordable accommodation initiative, Saatchi Women – our programme for progressing talent, and Saatchi Family – our programme for parents and carers.

We are still looking for great clients. Still trying to rock the world. Still believing. Still being impossible. Still having ideas that make our clients famous. Still searching for people who want to set the world alight. Still knowing there isn’t a problem a great idea can’t solve.

Diversity and inclusion are a core part of our DNA at Publicis UK. We’re committed to building an inclusive culture that encourages, celebrates, and supports our wonderfully diverse employee group irrelevant of their age, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability or ethnicity. Diversity and inclusion fuel our creativity and innovation, it enables us to be closer to our people and audiences.

We will continue to strive to create a culture and environment where everyone feels empowered and more importantly comfortable enough to bring their full, authentic selves to work.

We’re looking for an amazing Social Account Director who will be working on Always On and Campaign social. You’ll be working across two Always On organic social accounts, plus potentially some support on other accounts for social campaign work.

You’ll be the day‑to‑day lead on the Always On accounts, managing multiple work streams and delivering monthly content plans with aplomb. You’ll be working with our Social Creative, Strategy and Production teams and report to the Social Lead.

You’ll have daily contact with clients and weekly status meetings with a wider range of clients and stakeholders.

Saatchi has decades of legacy in traditional media, and we’re now taking that legacy of strategic excellence, innovative creativity and production wizardry and bringing it to bear in social. We want to be the reference for integrated social, that transforms businesses.

The social team is led by specialists who are passionate about social creativity and want to make really great work, with great people. We work across some retained always on accounts and support the full agency on campaign social in a flexible manner. We’re as at home making organic social for under a grand to large scale live streams and standalone social shoots.
