Project Manager/Resource Manager

  • Full-time

Company Description

Leo Burnett is where great, big, populist creative ideas happen.

These are the sort of ideas that get us excited, the sort of ideas our clients want, and the sort of ideas that we believe actually work. This has just always been the Leo Burnett way but, recently, we’ve really turned up the volume…

Over the last two years, Leo Burnett has evolved to deliver these ideas through one of the most innovative service offerings of any creative agency in London.

 The agency has built incredible new momentum with major new business wins, including TUI,

Disney+, McCormick Schwartz, Premier Inn, AXA Global, and Vision Express.

In fact, for the last four years, Leo Burnett has consistently been in the Top 10 of Campaign’s New Business Wins League Table.

And most importantly, our creative output has never been better. In fact, according to AdAge, Leo Burnett is now the most creatively awarded agency in the world. Not bad.

But, how does that all happen? Well, that’s what really makes Leo Burnett different - we put our people first.

It’s this distinctive approach, combined with our passion for populist creativity and restless pursuit of excellence, that makes Leo Burnett such a uniquely special place to work.
