Account Manager - Media Planning

Agency : Havas Media Group

Job Description :

Havas Media UK

London (Hybrid)

Havas Media Network (HMN) employees over 900 people in the UK & Ireland. We are passionate about helping our clients create more Meaning Brands through the creation and delivery of more valuable experiences. Our Havas mission:
To make a meaningful difference to the brands, the businesses and the lives of the people we work with.

HMN UK spans London, Leeds, Manchester & Edinburgh, servicing our clients brilliantly through our agencies including Ledger Bennett, Havas Market, Havas Media, Arena Media, DMPG and Havas Play Network.

At Havas Media Network we create Meaningful Media that drives growth for the world’s most ambitious brands. Guided by our values—Human at Heart, Head for Rigour, and Mind for Flair—we embed genuine human insight, data-driven discipline and creative daring into everything we do.

This role sits at the heart of that promise—bridging day-to-day planning with specialist capabilities to ensure data-driven thinking enhances every stage of media delivery.

The MX Client Planning Manager is focused on helping MX Account Directors to ensure clients have the optimal media support in place. Working directly alongside your MX Director, the role is centred around supporting the media planning process and managing the activation of advertising campaigns in various media channels like TV, radio, online, and social media.

BC TV Licensing account is a key element of the overall BBC portfolio within Havas. Having recently retained the account for the 3rd time, we are continuing to evolve and expand their media activation across a breadth of channels. We are looking for someone who collaborates well within an integrated team relationship alongside the client and their creative and marketing agency.

It’s a fast paced, multi-faceted account which requires excellent account management and organisational skills to manage a number of stakeholders. As a significant proportion of the funding of the BBC, the TV Licensing activity requires us to deliver comms to large, diverse audiences across the UK, whilst ensuring every pound spent is measured through a robust framework. We are looking for a team player who will be responsible for helping to continue to drive the team forward and deliver operational excellence.

BBC Marketing is split across Manchester & London. The London account team are tasked with management and development of the Performance driven element. This includes complimenting the organic & CRM activity known as Life Cycle, which is tasked with keeping people engaging with the BBC, and App based marketing activities across the BBC roster of apps. This is a growth based function within the team requiring someone with experience managing growth specific campaigns and conversion driving digital channels.

The role is a good mix of client comms and internal stakeholder management, so we are looking for a team player who doesn't mind getting stuck in and wearing multiple hats.

What behaviours we need from you:
As a Mx Manager, you are the heartbeat of the agency and your team  will be a positive, motivated individual with a can-do attitude and you’ll be continuing to build out your media understanding and learning.
