Dec 28, 2009

UPDATE: I have been overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response from just about every continent on earth (Anyone in Antarctica interested?). Apologies for delay in responding. I was swamped going into the holidays, but will be back on the Tuesday after Christmas. Tom

The below announcement is regarding a Social Media strategist position in our Shanghai office, but we are looking elsewhere in Asia as well, including Malaysia.

Are you the right person? Shoot me an email: thomas.crampton at ogilvy dot com

We need an ace Digital professional in Shanghai who knows the Internet and Social Media in China.

Who are you? You know the difference between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0. We are the next generation word of mouth agency (within an agency) focused on creating conversations online, not just building destinations. You are going to need at least 4-8 years experience developing digital solutions for clients.

You will have proven strength in creating and executing strategy, understanding research, managing complex interactive programs that leverage social media and word of mouth. You’ve probably worked at another agency or pure digital shop, preferably a brand name one.

You understand aspects of development – what it actually takes to build Web 2.0 solutions. Hopefully you have worked all the way through making a project a success via online marketing, visibility and outreach. You’ve probably obsessed about creating client value throughout your career.

You believe in our ability to make things better: better creative, more client value, and even our ability to create a great workplace experience. You know that social media is far more than blogs and have a record of designing innovative strategies.

Your qualities? You have a passion for the changes in digital and communications. You get things done. You are supremely organized. You are always learning. You hate when things are not done as well as they could be. You are enthusiastic and love team work. You are curious about everything.
