The Client:
Formula 1 (F1) are the pinnacle of motorsport, delivering 24 races across 5 continents each year. They have over half a billion passionate fans watching and attending races, as teams and drivers push the boundaries of human performance and technological innovation.
Ogilvy One was appointed as F1’s fan engagement agency in 2018 – to support on F1’s journey of business and digital transformation to modernise the fan offering and unlock the true value of the sport. Since then, we’ve served fans with content and experiences that draw them deeper into the sport and, importantly for our client, increased the value of the fan base and grow their first-party data.
What started as a humble acquisition and CRM programme has grown into delivery of a multichannel engagement programme, brand marketing and fan experience, supported by a very strong, multi-disciplined Ogilvy team.
We’re very proud of the relationship and what we’ve achieved with our client. It has delivered significant business value and has been highly recognised by the industry, picking up awards at the IPA, Effies, Marketing Society and DMAs.
The Role:
We’re looking for an Account Manager to join our team managing a range of projects from CRM to digital. A big focus of this role will involve supporting an Account Director and Business Director in delivering on and evolving the promises of our exciting fan engagement programme which was launched for the 2023 season.
It is a faced-paced account. F1 is a live product, with constantly evolving stories. And our audience are fans, not customers – so they have a deeply emotional relationship with the sport. To really serve the fan, we had to build an engagement programme (and team) that could react to the story of the moment. So, we’re looking for an individual that can thrive in this environment – comfortable with an element of unpredictability, navigating and managing change, making smart decisions on the run and guiding the team and client to the best possible outcome.
You will play a pivotal role in coordinating the multi-disciplinary Ogilvy team to deliver effective and efficient creative solutions for F1, so it’s vital that you come with a positive, curious mindset. You will help guide and deliver business critical projects, so we’re looking for someone that has high expectations of themself and the team. We need someone that can earn the trust of the client and internal team quickly, so you become the ‘go-to’ for all things on projects, knowing exactly what is always going on. Additionally, our Account Managers must be adept in asking the right questions to identify the best course of action and thinking laterally.
This role will be supported by a strong and established account/project management team. We work closely with each other and craft specialists (strategy, data and tech) to deliver work we’re proud of.
Finally, you don’t need to be a motorsport fan! Just have a willingness to learn about our client’s business, their audience and their product.
