Job Description

WHO ARE WE:
Mediahub is a full-service media agency with a unique structure and client offer. We grew out of creative agency MullenLowe in the hot crucible of the digital and data revolution that has transformed media over the last ten years.
We believe media's strongest growth lever is innovation. AI and algorithms are useful for efficiency but lead brands to say similar things in similar places to similar audiences. Effectiveness comes from innovation, and innovation comes from creativity. At Mediahub, our positioning, More Pilot, Less Auto, offers clients an antidote to the 'mindless media' that results from automation, bringing active stewardship to deliver media effectiveness.
We offer the best of both worlds: an entrepreneurial culture backed by the global scale of Mediabrands. You'll join an agency that's full of energy, experimentation and ambition. We're a home for pilots, not passengers.
We live by our values

• Anticipate tomorrow - We are challengers. We are proactive in thinking about what needs to happen today in order to make tomorrow better
• Perform with pride - We take pride and care in what we do, and together we strive for excellence
• Turn no into next - Obstacles and restraints inspire us
• Question what others won't - Powerful ideas start by questioning what's perceived as established truth
• Fight inertia - We relentlessly push for better, never settling for complacency
• Be brave - Safe is risky. Bravery gets us to unprecedented places
