Pan-European marketing agency with data and CRM infrastructure focus
INNOCEAN Europe operates a marketing services network with deep roots in automotive (Hyundai, Kia origin story) and now serves broader challenger brands across Europe. The tech stack reveals a data-operations-heavy organization: they run BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, dbt, and Apache Airflow alongside Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Adobe Experience Manager, with active projects spanning ETL pipelines, BI tool architecture, and SFMC journey optimization. The hiring skew is heavily marketing-focused (43 of 60 roles), but the parallel investment in data pipelines and BI strategy suggests they're building internal analytics capabilities to support campaign performance measurement.
Notable leadership hires: Digital Art Director, Account Director, Creative Director Copywriter
