ROLE: Strategy Manager Mars Wrigley EU

Overview of role

This role is for a Strategy Manager, focused on the Gum cell within the Mars Wrigley segment in Europe. The core focus of this role is to work with the strategy AD and strategy lead to develop regional strategies for MW’s biggest brands; delivering insight-fueled, data-driven brand experiences with audience planning at the heart of them.

Mars Wrigley is the world’s leading manufacturer of chocolate (including Snickers, Galaxy, and M&Ms), chewing gum (Extra), mints, and fruity confections (Skittles). EssenceMediacom has worked with Mars for many years in many key markets and we have a strong relationship with them – we work very closely not just with the Mars Communication & Marketing teams in Europe but across their total business. One of Mars’ key pillars is ‘Mutuality’ which is reflected in the way they work with us as the agency partner.

We are enormously proud of the work we have done with Mars in driving growth for their brands and this has been recognized with a host of awards - including Media Week, Campaign, and Cannes. We believe these awards are a testament to how closely we work with Mars and our integrated approach, both within EssenceMediacom and working in partnership with other agencies.

Mars is embarking upon a transformation of their communications, moving away from their legacy model of mass reach broadcast-led marketing.
