Opportunity
We have a rare and exciting opportunity here at FCB for the position of Account Director in our Account Management Team, Auckland
This role is unique in that it sits within FCB’s newest offering, FCB Six. FCB Six creates the experiences that allow people to have one to one interactions with brands – this could be downloading an app, purchasing something, commenting on social, entering a competition or signing up to a loyalty programme. We do this by combining data with creativity and innovation to deliver the right message, to the right person at the right time – so that no two people experience a brand the same way.
FCB and FCB Six work together, with FCB Media, to provide creative solutions that deliver long term brand love, and short term actions and response.
