Agency Governance & Commercial Procurement

  • Agency & Partner Management: Lead high-level agency relationships, performance evaluations, fee negotiations, and commercial terms across regional agency partners, platforms, and major media owners.

Measurement, Analytics & Business Impact

  • Business-Centric Analytics: Establish advanced measurement frameworks to evaluate media performance against hard business outcomes (sales growth, market share, CAC), turning complex analytics into decisive strategic actions.
  • Full Campaign Lifecycle Autonomy: End-to-end ownership of major regional tentpole campaigns, from initial brief framing and media strategy through execution, continuous optimization, and executive post-campaign debriefs.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
