High pressured environment requiring strategic and executional agility.

The company operates on a meeting basis with a high buy-in culture. As a result,workdays are highly engaging, with the downside that operational and executional activities require extra hours to complete. As a result, work days can be long. Organisational Efficiency is a watchword, so productivity and staffing agility are watchwords. The pressure-cooker environment means one adapts and plans for contingencies, increasing analytical and planning abilities. The company offers a lot of entrepreneurial freedom, so roles are what you make of them. However, there is a high expectation of visibility of actions.

Pros: Global network and good opportunities to learn from and contribute to best practice.
Cons: Restrictive global reporting parameters. Agile strategies can lead to inconsistency.

Experience of a life time

I enjoy having cross functional meetings with my colleagues every Friday to get status update on current and upcoming projects. Having Zoom calls with Sales teams to understand opportunities and challenges in the market place. I enjoy holding brand weekly status meetings with creative, media, digital and activation agencies to discuss running and coming campaigns. I enjoy going to brand activations to see how consumers interact with the brand and learn consumer behavior and sentiments towards my brand

Pros: Great opportunity for learning to deal with different stakeholders and projects manage your campaigns
Cons: Extra hours to be on top of your game. You need to be always a step ahead of your colleagues and agency partners
