Overview:
**Hello, we’re looking for a new**
**Planner**

**Role Profile**

**Reports To**

Planning Director

**DDB Remedy planners (at all levels)**
The basic requirement is a combination of strategic acumen and creative inspiration.

But we aren’t management consultants, we’re a creative agency. So it’s not just about being boringly right. It’s about being interesting. Planners here need to be able to inspire creative people to do the best work of their lives.

Partly this is breadth. Planners are critical in broadening the kind of creativity we offer. Planners need to be comfortable and confident with a wide range of communications beyond traditional advertising.

Partly this is being future-facing. An informed enthusiasm for the possibilities opened up by technology. An ability to lead clients confidently into new ways of doing marketing. And as importantly, an ability to separate the hype from the real value - and to appreciate the continued value of the traditional alongside the new.

**Personality**
The original DDB mantra is ‘talented but nice’. That’s still important.

The day-to-day culture at DDBR is fast and focused on the creative output. Everyone gets their sleeves rolled up. You need to be quick-minded, a confident self-starter, who can spot opportunities to contribute and surprise colleagues.
