Company Description

WHO ARE WE?

At Publicis Groupe Belgium we are people obsessed. That’s our raison d’être: to make brands relevant and interesting to people, in order to touch them and influence their behaviour, to grow the business of the brands we work for. You could say we move people to move business. The nature of the solutions we offer is also driven by the fact that we are people obsessed. More than 200 diverse bright experts are organised in 4 interconnected métiers (strategy & data, creative experiences, media activation, and production), and are the drivers of our collective creativity. When it comes to the talents working for us, we’re off course also peopled obsessed. Ow, yeah, that’s “Groupe” with an “e”. With our group’s roots in la douce France you can expect loads of Liberté, Égalité and Fraternité.

Job Description

• You develop and execute digital performance media plans that align with clients' marketing objectives and target audiences.
