Media agency using data science and marketing orchestration to optimize campaign performance
Hearts & Science is a 1,000+ person media agency owned by Omnicom, structured around data and analytics rather than traditional creative services. Their tech stack reflects this positioning: Power BI, Tableau, Redshift, and AWS for analytics backbone; Apache Pulsar and batch/real-time data solutions for signal processing; plus programmatic platforms (DV360, The Trade Desk, MediaOcean) across display, social, and search. Active hiring skews heavily toward marketing (38 roles) and data (22 roles) with director-level focus, suggesting organizational scaling around measurement and audience segmentation rather than account management.
Notable leadership hires: Digital Planning Director, Paid Social Director, Account Director, Media Implementation Account Director, Client Investment Lead
