About the Role
Leading the development and delivery of the social media ideas, content and activation for multi-market Charters in the region. This is an opportunity work with ambitious clients and on some of the world’s greatest brands.
The social strategist is a hybrid role, equal parts of client relations, strategy and operations . It needs somebody that can see the bigger picture and craft a compelling narrative internally and with the client, but that can also go deep – handling several fiddley tasks, as is often the case with social.
What You’ll Do
Leadership and management of social delivery
Create (and meet!) a timeline for the development of the campaign – this needs to be based on the master timeline of the wider campaign and on client requirements for launch/deployment timings
Gather insights, with the support of in-market strategists and analysts, but also with your own understanding of social trends and platform insights
Craft an inspiring brief based on the insights as well as other inputs, including the existing BBEI, the end-to-end strategy, and client feedback along the way
The brief should give sufficient freedom, especially in early rounds, for creatives to go broad; later discussions with clients and creatives need to be achievable based on the media plan and other constraints
Guide the creatives in developing the ideas and content, leading creative review meetings
Manage communication with both clients and internal WPP Integrators, understanding (and pushing back on) feedback wherever necessary
Understanding the scope and deliverable and calling out/escalating any scope creep to WPP Ops Lead and/or WPP Social Lead
Ensure that social ideas and content is in line with the wider Charter strategy and idea, including getting input and signoff from relevant stakeholders along the way (e.g. Asia & South Pacific Strategy lead)
Overseeing the localization and delivery of Charters in markets
Manage the cascade of the toolkit, arranging and presenting the material in a clear and inspiring way to local clients and WPP team members
Arranging regular check ins with local teams to ensure work is developed according to the toolkit, pushing back on significant divergence fr
