WHO WE ARE

Saatchi & Saatchi Wellness exists to move the world. We are an agency that moves people and is moved by people.

As technology plays a greater and greater role in our lives, there is a risk it can disconnect us too. We believe that empathy is the skill to keep us human. Empathy combines care & understanding to balance the digital and physical, the scientific and artistic, and the personal and global.

Empathy does not just better connect our work to audiences; it also improves the connection between our clients and us and to one another within the agency.

We pride ourselves on caring about our clients’ business more than they do and strive to demonstrate this in every interaction.

What we do spans everything from strategic consultancy and business transformation, to integrated brand launches and to multi-channel tactical deployment. Shiny awards are not the be-all and end-all, but our trophy cabinet offers recognition of our determination to deliver standout, innovative work for our clients across a broad range of disciplines and specialisms.

As part Publicis Health, we are fortunate to have the support of a large organisation, opening up opportunities to pitch collaboratively with other agencies in the group and work with an enviable client base.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Working as an account executive is a great starting point to a glowing career within the industry – you’ll work with the wider account management team helping grow the account, provide financial updates and research / analyse new industry trends. In this role, you’ll own the logistics, administration and day-to-day account work associated with one of our biggest clients. You’ll be responsible for budget updates, invoices and status reports while learning all you can from the account managers, account directors and group account directors in the team. We’ll expect you to communicate effectively at all levels, be professional, friendly and eager to learn as many new skills as you can. You should be able to compose persuasive, credible written communication both internally and externally and you should demonstrate creativity, insight and confidence at all times. Getting on with all types of people is essential and we’re looking for someone who’s able to show us how they can get the best out of their colleagues for the greater good of the client and agency.

This is a hands-on role which can be challenging at times - but the agency is a lot of fun to work with and well worth the effort. Teamwork and collaboration are at the heart of our business offering and you’ll notice how well we all work together if you come in to see us for an interview. There are tight deadlines, fast-moving projects and clients who only demand the best from us – but if you’re the sort of person who thrives in this type of business then we’d love to hear from you.
