At Publicis•Poke we are passionate about Sharp Commercial Creativity – the power of creativity to solve today’s commercial challenges across an evolving consumer journey. We are an agency born in the digital age, combining Communication, Brand Experience and Commerce specialisms.

Some of our clients include BT/EE, L’Oréal, Essity, Nestlé, Heineken, Renault/Dacia, and many more.

Our values are designed to guide the way we behave. We have three:

Empathy: listen with intent, look out for each other, bust your biases. 
Invention: Find inspiration in strange places. Never stop experimenting. Make new things and make them useful. 
Action: make it collaborative, make it happen, make it mean something. 

We are looking for an enthusiastic, curious individual to join our brilliant team of thinkers, makers and do-ers. This role would suit someone who can set the strategic direction of an account, and be a partner/consultant to clients. An individual who loves to be pro-active, is not content with the status quo. You demonstrate experience of challenging briefs, lifting standards of work in retail channels (on and offline), and having fun doing it.

Of course, the client work you do is one thing, but you will also be a part of the wider strategy team at Publicis•Poke. We are a tight knit crew of 14 multi-disciplinary strategists. We are one team, curious about the approaches we all bring, working together to make great work. We support, inspire, challenge and cherish each other – united in the belief that we each succeed when we all succeed.
