BCW Mission:
Organisations and industries are evolving at a rapid pace while operating in increasingly complex, connected stakeholder ecosystems. To grow and thrive in this environment, BCW’s clients need to engage colleagues, consumers, customers and other key constituents who are more diverse, elusive and over-stimulated than ever before. They have to move people – all kinds of people – to think differently, feel deeply and act urgently.
The Role:
BCW is on the lookout for a passionate, well-rounded communications professional to join its Brussels team.
Working as one of the account directors within the Digital & Creative Communications Hub, you’ll help BCW as they Move People through storytelling. You’ll support the team as they transform complex policy issues into engaging and accessible content across earned, owned, shared and paid media.
