Social media outcomes agency managing ~€200M ad spend across Europe
Mawave is a Munich-based social media marketing agency operating at scale—approximately 200 million euros in annual ad spend across paid and organic channels for consumer brands. The stack is platform-native (Meta, TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest) plus Adobe Creative Cloud and project-management tools (Asana, Miro). Hiring velocity is accelerating with 40 open roles, heavily weighted toward senior marketing and creative talent, suggesting aggressive account expansion and campaign execution demands. Pain points center on scaling ad spend and optimizing workflows across creative and media teams—operational friction typical of agencies managing high-volume client budgets.
