Moving to the global team from her current role as UK head of planning, Smith will be responsible for all of our creative output.
Named one of Campaign’s top ten media planners in 2015, she previously led a team restructure which enabled Maxus UK to provide better insight-led, ideas-focussed and technology-rich solutions across the agency.
As well as this, in 2016 Smith developed a bespoke creativity training scheme, taking ten percent of the agency on a journey of facilitation techniques and creative problem solving. Each of these creative champions are driving learnings out across the entire agency.
Instrumental in creating Change Planning, our bespoke planning tool, we look forward to seeing how Jen applies her wondrous creativity with her passion for data and technology, to create effective strategies for our clients across the world.
Jen Smith said, “The best ideas come from working together for a common goal. At Maxus, collaboration is one of our PACE values, and this role enables me to collaborate with our creative partners, our media partners and our amazing clients to help deliver opinions and solutions that wouldn’t necessarily come from a traditional campaign brief.
“It is going to enable me to have the authority and focus to hand over responsibility to our teams for big challenges and give them the tools to be able to confidently try to solve problems in a way which is a departure from their day to day – plus allowing them to have a lot of fun in the process” added Jen.
