The Role

Ogilvy UK has worked with Viasat, and prior to its acquisition Inmarsat, one of the world’s leading satellite communications businesses, for over 8 years. It’s a global relationship, managed out of London, with clients based all over the world. We work with Viasat’s corporate and brand teams, as well as its individual business units serving the aviation, maritime, government, energy and enterprise IoT sectors.

We work on brand and service positioning projects, content, PR, corporate relations, advertising, events, social, digital, partnerships with other major technology players, just about everything. We produce global campaigns, sales assets, thought leadership and help define the business’ positioning in areas like sustainability and digital inclusion.

Strategy is at the heart of our relationship. Viasat choose to work with the agency because we understand their business and their audiences. We’re looking for an experienced Strategy Director who’s been around the block to join a team of strategists to deliver excellence on the account and be the driving force behind work that works.

You’ll have a love of technology and be constantly motivated by what’s next. You’ll be fascinated by business-level challenges and comfortable leading the conversation with very senior client stakeholders and subject matter experts across the client organisation.

You’ll act as a partner to the Client Partner, helping them to build and diversify the account relationship and grow its value.

You’ll work at Ogilvy UK and sit in the heart of a welcoming, feisty, and fun planning community in London’s Sea Containers House.

Skills We Are Looking For

Strategic leadership across both Brand and Experience campaigns for high profile international B2B accounts. B2B as a specialism, but a wider frame of reference.

Experience leading a team of strategic thinkers from Brand, Experience, Communications and Data backgrounds.
Storytelling expertise – able to develop and articulate clear brand and product narratives and messaging, translating complexity.

Exude charisma and dynamism, both in presenting, winning client confidence and through being a connector within the agency and network
Data literate and able to understand client’s business results and issues, as well as being well practiced in leading an effectiveness culture and building new models.
Experience in the technology and/or connectivity space an advantage.
