Welcome aboard to use the advanced, AI-powered WPP Open, which is transforming the way we think and operate!

Key Responsibilities

As our Audio & Video Manager, you will:

• Develop AV strategy (TV, Audio, Video)
  Build integrated AV strategies across linear TV, BVOD, online video, radio and digital audio, translating business and marketing objectives into effective media plans and recommendations.

• Oversee planning, execution and optimization
  Plan and implement AV campaigns together with our teams, ensure quality and accuracy, monitor performance, analyze results and turn insights into clear, actionable recommendations.

• Leverage digital, tech and AI
  Use media, planning and reporting tools confidently, keep up with developments in digital video, CTV, programmatic and audio, and explore AIdriven tools for planning, forecasting, optimization and reporting.

• Contribute to pitches and internal development
  Take a key role in the AV part of pitches and proposals, build compelling cases, and share your expertise to support colleagues and develop our AV product further.
