Ptarmigan Media is a specialist media agency within Omnicom Media Group (OMG), with over 30 years' experience working with some of the world's leading financial brands.
With teams across London, New York, Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney, Taipei and Tokyo, we are a global leader in Financial Services media solutions.
Our specialist understanding of financial markets, financial brands and B2B decision-makers means our clients trust us to help shape their marketing and campaign strategies across media planning and buying, digital, content, research, optimisation and more.
It's a unique place to build a media career - combining the pace and creativity of agency life with exposure to some of the biggest brands and most interesting conversations happening across global financial markets.
So why should you join us?
We're looking for an Account Executive to join our growing Australian team.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone early in their media career who wants to learn, grow and gain exposure across a broad range of media channels while working with leading local and international financial brands.
One thing that is really important to us is a genuine interest in financial markets and the financial services industry.
You absolutely don't need to arrive as a finance expert - we'll help you build that knowledge - but you should be someone who is naturally curious about the sector. You might already follow financial news or markets, have studied finance or business, or simply be fascinated by how financial brands and markets operate.
If the intersection of media, marketing and financial markets sounds interesting to you, this could be a great place to build your career.
What will you be doing?
Working closely with your Senior Account Manager and the wider team, you'll get hands-on experience across the full campaign lifecycle.
You'll:
- Support the day-to-day management and execution of multimedia campaigns across digital, social, search, print and outdoor
- Help build campaigns from initial set-up and execution through to monitoring, optimisation and post-campaign analysis
- Coordinate with clients, publishers and media partners to make sure campaigns and creative materials are delivered accurately and on time
- Develop your skills across programmatic and social media, supporting campaign execution once relevant certifications are completed
- Build relationships with clients, media partners and teams across the wider Omnicom Media Group network
- Develop your understanding of financial markets, our clients' businesses and the audiences they are trying to reach
- Learn from an experienced specialist team while taking on more responsibility as your skills and confidence grow
What are we looking for?
Most importantly, you'll bring curiosity, energy and a willingness to learn.
We'd love you to have:
- A genuine and demonstrable interest in financial markets and financial services - this is essential
- Some professional experience within media, advertising or marketing
- A positive, proactive and can-do attitude
- A basic understanding of digital media
- Strong attention to detail and a commitment to getting things right
- An eagerness to understand our clients, their businesses and the financial landscape they operate within
- Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel, PowerPoint and Word
- An interest in strategic marketing, brand building and the evolving media landscape, including innovations such as AI
Tertiary qualifications in business, finance, media or marketing would be well regarded, as would certifications across platforms such as CM360, DV360 or LinkedIn Marketing Solutions - but they're not essential.
What matters most is that you're excited to learn, interested in the world of financial markets and keen to build your career within a specialist, collaborative and ambitious media agency.
Be part of something bigger
As part of Omnicom Media Group, you'll also have access to the opportunities, learning and network that come from being part of one of the world's leading media and marketing groups - while still enjoying the close-knit environment and specialist expertise of Ptarmigan Media.
Ptarmigan Media welcomes applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people from diverse cultural backgrounds, people with disability, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
