Paid Social Account Executive Job Description

BASED IN MANCHESTER

Havas Media Network

At Havas Media, we are passionate about helping our clients create Meaningful Brands by reimagining valuable experiences. Our smart thinking around enhancing consumer experiences means we deliver more measurable, meaningful moments between brands and people. We call this Mx (Meaningful Media Experiences); thinking about how we connect consumers to the right content in the right context.

Based in our Manchester office and with a HQ in London Kings Cross – 26 different agencies make up the Havas UK Village. As others attempt – and struggle – to integrate and simplify their offer, we continue to pioneer the UK’s only truly integrated model. We are the only UK communications network to share a single building with every other specialist business in our network, all under a single P&L, which means we can draw on broader expertise to create bespoke teams.

Our agencies are made up of three main groups, linking Creative, Media and Health services. We work with some of the most recognisable brands to form strategic and creative partnerships, guiding our clients towards their marketing and communication objectives.

We are a bustling group of agencies filled with passionate individuals who all bring their own expertise and work together across varying teams and disciplines. We provide first class services for our clients through a whole spectrum of agencies and departments, including strategy, analytics, media planning, creative, design, UX&UI, social media, public relations, integrated marketing and much more.

Our commitment to making a meaningful difference to our people.

At Havas, our mission is to make a meaningful difference to the brands, the businesses and the lives of the people we work with. This guiding purpose is central to everything we do at Havas as we strive to create a great place to work through an environment and culture that makes a meaningful difference to our people.

At Havas Media we strive to be “meaningfully daring”.

This is our guiding philosophy - it’s about taking more informed risks in the pursuit of more meaningful outcomes for our clients, boldly pursuing ingenuity at all times, and always measuring the impact of everything we do.

How we behave

  • We positively disrupt
  • We’re relentlessly curious
  • We make sh*t happen
  • We’re ourselves, we’re a team
