AV Senior Executive

  • Full-time

Company Description

We are Zenith.We invented the media agency in 1988, and 12 years later,we were the first to put effectiveness at the heart of our work, when we became the ROI Agency.

But that is getting harder. With new channels, data sources and technologies multiplying the decisions you have to make every day, there are so many possible paths to success.

We need to take them down different, braver, more profitable paths. That’s what we do.
