Multiple channel exposure is essential as you’ll be working across AV, Digital, and Print campaigns.

You’ll be able to summarise information, maintain multiple project statuses and present the updates.

  • Working closely with the AD and lead creative agency in understanding strategic background behind each campaign and the range of assets available to markets
  • Coordinating briefings and workflow of projects with internal production teams (Video, Print, Digital, Translation)
  • Working with Local client teams, understanding their requirements and managing the approval process
  • Supporting the AD in preparation of internal reports and client presentations
  • Ensuring adaptation work is done according to brand’s guidelines
  • Drafting and distributing contact reports and agendas.
