Digital Account Manager

As part of the Serviceplan Group, Mediaplus UK is an independent media planning & buying agency which was founded in 1982 with a mission to shake up a network-dominated industry. Over 40 years on and we are still proudly independent, however, we have grown in size with over 160 employees across 3 UK offices in London, Manchester and Birmingham, as well as having our own behavioural consultancy, Behave.

We are the only media agency built on the principles of behavioural science. We combine best-in-class media, data & research to deliver authentic, creative and effective media solutions that address the real influences on people’s behaviour.

We work across the full spectrum of media planning and buying services, with fantastic teams dedicated to everything from client leadership and media planning/activation to SEO and influencer marketing as well as advanced data solutions.
