## About You

You are an experienced and passionate strategist who lives and breathes social and influencer marketing. You have a proven track record of building effective, earned-first strategies with influencers at their core. You’re naturally curious, comfortable with ambiguity, and thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two briefs are the same. Most importantly, you’re a collaborative team player, excited by the opportunity to work with diverse teams and help make Ogilvy’s influence output the best it can be.

## Benefits & Culture
