Creative Analyst

Are you beginning your career as an analyst and see yourself in a creative digital agency?
Are you ready to join a talented bunch of technical specialists, designers, creative technologist, relationship managers, and strategists, all under one roof?
This amazing Advertising Agency is looking for a Creative Analyst to join them
About Our Client
We are an award-winning digital agency, specialising in delivering dynamic creative optimisation (DCO) strategies and digital ad production across a variety of screens, formats and verticals.
Whilst we benefit from the strength and backing of a major advertising and media network, we have stayed true to our roots with the culture and atmosphere of a start-up, and all the energy and opportunity for talent that it brings.
Within digital advertising, we pride ourselves in problem-solving and pushing boundaries, demonstrated through our innovations (big and small) and our evolving product suite.
Above all, we have produced some amazingly cool - and effective - work for our clients across the world, including Volkswagen, McDonalds, Apple, Audi, Canon, Porsche, Delta, Levi’s, Pepsi and many more!
The Analytics team is a pivotal part of the Agency, with your work directly impacting the future strategy of our client’s campaigns and is essential in showing the value of our work to clients through data.
The objective of the role
Your primary role is to deliver high-quality creative insight; you will find trends and patterns in diverse data sets tracking media KPIs on social and programmatic platforms, formulate these into actionable insights for clients, and present these to key stakeholders.
A Creative Analyst is also heavily involved in our product innovation, helping shape and develop our newest tools such as AI creative optimisation and automated creative tagging.
In addition to client work, the Strategy & Analytics team enjoy being at the forefront of the (ever-changing!) industry news… sharing what’s happening across the landscape, and how this impacts and/or creates opportunities for us (and our clients).
Prior DCO experience is not necessary
What we are looking for
An analyst early in their career, who is driven by 'finding the answer’ in data and using their skills to bring others along for the ride. Someone curious, passionate about advertising and a great team player!
