You will assist with the vision and guiding system for integrated and innovative campaigns and work closely with Planning, Media and Tech to make it happen.
We are looking for those with a self-starter attitude and a modern approach to connected experiences for brands; who understands consumer and HCP behavior, the context in which those behaviors happen and how to design moments of engagement that influence patient journeys.
