WHO WE ARE
BBDO stands for excellent brand management. Our fields of work are so diverse: creation, consulting, brand strategy, campaign planning, data & analytics, UX, CX, tech, social, performance marketing, editorial and content, and our client portfolio is just as colorful: Lidl, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Allianz, Bugatti, BVG, Privatmolkerei Bauer, Kerrygold, Deutsche Bahn, Dr. Oetker, Henkel, Meta, Whatsapp, Unicef and more.
Together, we form a team with around 130 employees from over 23 countries working in Düsseldorf and Berlin. Diversity has grown naturally at our company and is a lived culture, not just a concept. At BBDO, we come from all over the world, which means we are one team, at work and in life.
THAT’S WHY WE ARE LOOKING FOR A SOCIAL MEDIA CONCEPT & EDITOR
We need someone that will take the creative lead on the global motorsport Instagram channel for Porsche. This person will drive the channel to its rightful place alongside the global brand channel and help us evolve it from a motorsport-only channel to a motorsport culture/lifestyle page, that is in line with the brand's overall ambition of becoming more “contemporary luxury”.
Like an editor-in-chief of a monthly magazine, this will require a great deal of juggling, vision, and orchestration skills. Coordination with the creative teams that lead each motorsports series internally, with the other creative directors to help grow the channel from a motorsport-only focus to a more lifestyle and contemporary luxury space, with the strategy department on how to plan out their yearly activities, and finally the hard task with client servicing of how to get the plans into motion.
The role will suit a social media native with an eye for design and the latest trends. An already established network in the automotive and motorsports scene is a plus. They should enjoy working in a high-paced, entrepreneurial, and energetic environment and on a client where real work gets made.
