Job Description:

Be an Associate, Paid Social   

Who we’re looking for: 

Does the thought of social engines, targeted interests, and ad copy & image testing make you jump out of your chair with excitement? Do you eat, drink, and breathe bid optimizations? We want to talk to you! 

We are on the hunt for a superstar looking to begin their career in Social Marketing - a solution-seeker who always looks on the bright side and is willing to jump over obstacles to bring the work from good to great!  

We value our culture above anything else, and that culture is built on the spirit of our people. We’re looking for tireless optimists, happy warriors and fearless collaborators who bring that extra dose of contagious energy. 

The Opportunity: 

If you’re reading this, we want to talk to you about joining our team as a Social Associate. Your responsibilities will include: 

• Effectively communicating both verbally and in writing

• Campaign management and optimization 

  • Budget pacing

  • Campaign launches 

  • Bid managements

  • Thorough QA for errors and best practices 

  • Paid Social Optimizations

• Reporting insights and presentation

• Social trend research

• Competitor Analysis/Research Tools  

• Forecasting and Opportunity Analysis

You will be poised for a position of growth within your Social Activation team - the person closest to the day-to-day details of the campaign and working closely with a more experienced Strategist to learn methods of data analysis and bid management to identify opportunities and unlock new heights of campaign performance. In addition to execution and management, you’ll have opportunities to contribute ideas to the planning process and help guide the direction of every campaign you work on.  

You’ll have the privilege to collaborate with some of the best minds in the business while working on some of the world’s leading brands. As a member of the Omnicom Media Group, employees have a wealth of resources at their fingertips including customized training from the likes of Meta, X and TikTok as well as regular updates on industry research and best practices to keep you at the top of the field. 

The client is one of the biggest tech players in the industry, and you will get to work on hardware campaigns around new product launches, key seasonal moments and brand presence sustain efforts. This team leads the activation of paid social ads across the Latam region and works closely with their US and global counterparts, making for a unique opportunity.

Even if you decide that Social isn’t where you want to be and you’re more of a Marketing Science type, we offer the ability to switch disciplines and explore new paths with ease. 

Our expectations of you: 

Associates are the bedrock of the Digital Activation teams and serve a vital role - months of prep work from client and agency stakeholders finally culminates in you pressing the “Go” button and spending the budget, so we expect you to be on top of your responsibilities from start to finish. We’ll expect you to clearly communicate both successes and failures, and work to replicate the wins and quickly identify and remedy the missteps.  

In addition to the nuts and bolts of Social and maintaining a positive return on investment for our clients, a successful Associate needs to be curious and consider education as a key tenet of their role. We’ll expect you to take advantage of provided training and workshops, both to advance your own knowledge of Social and to learn the fundamentals of your teammate’s channels. We’ll expect you to keep abreast of industry changes and updates. We’ll expect you to take notes at a lunch-and-learn. We’ll expect you to apply what you’ve learned to your client work.

What you’ll need to succeed:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in marketing/advertising or a related field or relevant post-secondary education, training, or equivalent experience

• Entry level - 6+ months preferred internship or related work experience

• A well-rounded thinker with a passion for the digital media landscape and innovative and emerging trends 

• Strong organizational/communication skills - you’ll need to speak to clients, keep track of important records such as budget documents and launch checklists, and manage the occasional competing deadline (or 2). 

• Working knowledge of Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet applications including basic functions 

• Working knowledge of Microsoft PowerPoint

The outcomes we will celebrate: 

Strong client relationships, admiring teammates, more effective plans, industry awards, strong agency partnerships. 

  

Who you’ll partner with: 

You’ll work most closely with your direct Social team, working hand in hand with a Social Strategist and reporting into a Supervisor.  

Beyond your immediate team, you’ll also work closely with the rest of the Digital Activation team, including Search and Programmatic Video/Display, as well as the wider media and marketing sciences teams to drive your client’s business forward. 

What you can expect: 

The chance to grow the agency and yourself.  

Freedom to collaborate with over 4,000 colleagues in 80+ offices worldwide.  

The ability to be brave, try new things and help continue to grow our digital offering. 

A place that cares about your personal passions just as much as your work.
