POSITION DESCRIPTION

Ogilvy is seeking a Senior Strategist to join the Los Angeles office. This is an opportunity to join a national account services team for one of the fastest growing marketing communication firms in the world. Today, Ogilvy employs over 15,000 people, in 450 offices, and is a member of the WPP family of companies. As a senior planner you are integral to your team. You run the "day to day" with some guidance. Creatives look for you to help them prove an argument or flesh out a brief. Management knows you can be trusted to establish and substantiate a point of view. You learn to present to clients with authority, "front" meetings and take ownership of projects and their outcomes. You know the basics and collaborate with other strategy disciplines (content, social, etc.) You run projects independently and your briefs get less oversight. Other planners go to you for advice. You are the missing piece – people count on you to add value to any strategic or creative argument.
