As marketplace & media experts, they own the process & media plans from curation to execution & analysis, and must constantly think as the client does, and with a growth mind-set.

The client and the role

This is an exciting opportunity to work on one of the agencies largest accounts, Aviva. Zenith & Aviva have worked together for a number of years, with a great rapport between the team & the clients. The broad range of the account provides an opportunity to work with a wide selection of Zenith teams, client teams, partners and publishers.
