Media agency orchestrating brand campaigns across 90+ markets
Initiative is a 10,000+ person media agency operating across 90+ markets with a heavy skew toward marketing and strategy roles (33 of 37 open positions). The tech stack is advertising-platform-native (Google Ads, Meta, DV360, TikTok, Amazon, LinkedIn Ads) layered with analytics tools (Tableau, Looker, Power BI, Google Analytics 4) and light data infrastructure (SQL, Python, R). Hiring velocity is steady across director and senior levels, with notable open roles in strategy, communications design, and AI enablement—suggesting organizational focus on process modernization and cross-functional capability-building rather than headcount expansion.
Notable leadership hires: Strategy Director, Communications Design Director, AI Enablement Director, Director Strategy
Initiative builds integrated media plans and campaign strategies for global brands, balancing what they call Fame (culture-uniting messaging) and Flow (individual customer journeys). The agency works with Fortune 500 and high-growth clients across FMCG, pharmaceuticals, tech, and entertainment verticals. Operations span North America, EMEA, APAC, and Latin America with 90+ markets represented. The business model is client-services-driven: media planning, buying, analytics, and strategic consulting as core deliverables. Active projects center on media planning process improvement, multi-market budget allocation, and campaign performance optimization—areas where legacy workflows and monthly reconciliation cycles create operational friction.
Initiative's stack includes Google Ads, Meta Ads Manager, DV360, TikTok Ads, Amazon Ads, Twitter Ads, LinkedIn Ads, and Ripple. Analytics are handled through Google Analytics, Google Analytics 4, and Meta Business Manager.
