Agency : Red Agency

Job Description : ABOUT HAVAS Red We are HAVAS global, earned-first agency that puts cultural clout, creative magic and strategic insight at the heart of everything we do. We help brands become part of consumer conversation by thinking big, different and bold, with attention-grabbing creative driven by strategic cultural insight that is authentic, engaging, entertaining, informative and provocative. As a global network with over 30 offices worldwide, we pride ourselves on our borderless thinking that transcends market, channel and discipline. From content to social to experiential to influence to editorial, our work delivers on every level.

The pride we have in our work goes hand in hand with a culture that’s passionate, vibrant and bloody good fun. We believe that people are our most vital asset because they are different. Different to one another and different to the norm. Diverse perspectives fuel our curiosity and fresh thinking. In the era of artificial thinking, it’s our belief that intelligent people power original creativity and solve the most important challenges for our clients.

THE ROLE

We're looking for an ambitious, hands-on Account Manager to join our growing Brisbane team, initially reporting directly to the Executive Director.
