**About Merkle**

Merkle is a leading data-driven, technology-enabled, global performance marketing agency that specialises in the delivery of unique, personalised customer experiences across platforms and devices. We call it ‘people-based’ marketing, and with over 25 years’ experience, we are proud to be recognised as a global leader.

Merkle’s heritage in data, technology and analytics is the foundation for our understanding of consumer insights that drives our people-based marketing strategies.

Your ability to tell a story that captures the imagination of the client and instill trust in them is as important as the understanding of the analysis itself.

You will be expected to manage meetings and present your thoughts, recommendations and reasoning internally and at board level for clients. If you’re someone who likes innovation, we need an energetic self-starter who can quickly build relationships, who can get to the core of the clients’ challenges and deliver insightful, data-led marketing strategies focused on business goals, activated through integrated campaign planning.

Merkle have great relationships with our client base which founded in the trust of providing deep expertise, but with the expectation of new thinking that will deliver impact. Therefore the environment is fast-paced and challenging, but also a lot of fun. You will be working in a vibrant team of like-minded professionals with a variety of skills and specialisms and will need to balance client demands with development of Merkle propositions and being a key member of the team in responding to new business opportunities.

Qualifications:

- Strong experience in a strategy/planning function in an agency, consultancy or a client side background essential
- Strong experience in customer journey planning - predominantly direct channels
- Strong experience in presenting complex strategies, translating goals and insights into value propositions and connecting your strategy to achievable and coherent activation plans
- Experience of using data to evaluate effectiveness of customer communications and in using these results to plan future campaigns, in terms of audience, next best actions, content and timing frequencies
- Produce detailed targeting criteria and measurement & evaluation metrics
- Experience defining and understanding customer audiences based on behaviours, value, needs or socio demo criteria
- Holistic understanding of how people interact across platforms and the cross-channel journey they make
- Ability to build relationships with key stakeholders as a trusted advisor
