**We are EssenceMediacom**
A truly global network with 120 offices and over 10,000 people operating in 96 markets, we are a new type of agency that creates breakthroughs for brands. We discover the breakthroughs that brands need to win; the discoveries, experiences, invention, integration and impact that will make a difference to their business. We are built to keep pace with change, built on data and technology, built for people and algorithms, built around diverse capability, built to test and learn at scale and, crucially, built to evolve.

Reporting to the Head of Client Leadership (HoCL), the Business Director (BD) takes ultimate responsibility for the agency's relationship and performance with a portfolio of designated client accounts.

They ensure that all strategic and implementation recommendations deliver growth to our clients’ businesses, whilst driving growth for EssenceMediacom at the same time. To do this, they will develop and deepen EssenceMediacom’s relationship with its clients, command a thorough understanding of the breadth and depth of the agency’s product offering, lead and manage a team of people to deliver ongoing high performance in our client relationships, and effectively collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to facilitate and optimise the entire process. Put simply, the BD operates as the key connection point between EssenceMediacom and the clients in their remit.
