We’re a highly motivated, energetic team with a passion for all things social.

We like great ideas combined with smart planning and a relentless commitment to results. We’re constantly innovating for our clients, working with all the key platforms in the latest formats to reach audiences in interesting ways.

Forward Media is the specialist luxury division within Havas Media Network, offering a unique opportunity to work across globally recognised luxury brands within the LVMH portfolio and help deliver innovative biddable campaigns for some of the world's most prestigious names.

Our managers are given the autonomy to work seamlessly across their client teams, providing outstanding biddable knowledge and leading biddable approaches for clients. Their knowledge is applied not only to campaign plans but also contribute to the wider team; helping to develop the biddable skills of those more junior as well as working on progressive innovative ideas with the directors in their team.

This role is responsible for the management and development of one Executive within the larger team. Our Managers are enthusiastic in building a strong culture of collaboration and support, playing a key role in our extensive training programme; delivering basic parts with others in the team as well as being involved in more advanced training to help their own development in an ever-changing landscape.

They have a wide network of specialist support within the rest of the team – across Trading, Planning and Supply - and report into the Biddable Account Director daily as well as to shape and deploy new biddable initiatives and client solutions, providing essential feedback and ideas.
