Publicis Media is seeking a rising individual to take on our Graduate/Entry Level Biddable Strategy role located in our London offices.   You will be mentored and trained by our more senior members to give you exposure in the day-to-day agency business and client relationship management.  Graduates emerge with the skillset and knowledge in starting a successful career in the digital marketing area through a combination of on-the-job training, project assignments, and classroom training.

You will have the opportunity to work across a variety of clients and markets, including some of the largest brands in the world such as P&G, Samsung, Avon and Cineworld.
