Founded as an independent media agency in 1996, Merkle | DWA is headquartered in San Francisco, with ten additional offices in the US, Europe and Asia-Pacific, employing >250 employees globally.

In December 2017 we were acquired by Merkle, part of dentsu. The move expanded the B2B offering at Merkle. dentsu announced the creation of Merkle B2B in September 2020, a group of world class B2B agencies under the dentsu umbrella offering end-to-end B2B experiences to global brands. As the media strategy and execution arm of Merkle B2B, Merkle | DWA is an integral part of this new company.

Merkle | DWA’s integration with dentsu’s B2B agencies offers employees the opportunity to collaborate with data, analytics, creative, and research professionals across the organization and for some of the world’s most renowned B2B brands, including Intel, Cisco, and Intuit.

A real opportunity to play a key part in the growth of our analytics practice. The addition of several major global clients this year means we’re gearing up the Analytics team to support our clients in a raft of new ways.

Joining the team will mean getting stuck in with large, complex and interesting datasets and working to drive meaningful insights and outcomes for our teams and clients.

This role is at the heart of the team and will work both with our teams in London, the US and in India to create, manage and lead client dashboard and analytics solutions
