We are PG ONE. Aka Publicis Groupe One.

We are the ideas, production and media for over 30 of the world’s most known and loved brands from the world’s biggest advertiser, P&G (Procter & Gamble).

When you see Pampers, Gillette, Head & Shoulders, Fairy, Ariel, Always & Braun to name a few, that’s us.

We are made differently to conventional agencies as we believe in the power of togetherness. Under one roof you’ll find creatives, designers, strategists, account teams, producers, project managers, data scientists, PR & influence teams and media talent, all working as one. 

And you’ll find a culture of pushing new boundaries to solve the most complex business challenges. We call this culture “Dare to be Different” and we are very proud of it. Because we know you have to keep breaking new ground, without fear, to be successful.

We’re believers that our differences make us stronger, which is why we actively look for and value diversity in every sense. We aim to build teams that represent people from all backgrounds and cultures, with a diversity of thought, perspectives and skill sets.

You’ll find no egos or restrictive layers of hierarchy here but instead an ambition to empower talent at every level to help shape better outcomes in work and working life. 

Our ideal candidate will have strong experience of planning & buying across all media. Alternatively, they will have strong experience in Digital; however, they must be a quick learner, as they will need to manage a team who work across all media.

They will work within a team of 20 talented specialists. This team is led by two Investment Directors and an Associate Director who they will report into.

They should be inspirational and persuasive, as they will need to convince clients of their strategic recommendations, and persuade people to challenge the norms and deliver exceptional work.
