mckinney / account planner needed
McKinney is an advertising agency pioneering the industry in conversation planning, the art and science of building strong emotional and transactional connections between brands and the right people.
We’re looking for an Account Planner to join our team. You probably have around 5 years experience as an account planner – (or maybe it’s 3 and you’re just an incredibly fast learner?). You feel as though you’re “just about ready” to take the next step to become a Senior Account Planner. You believe in the power of Brands. You think big. Ideally, you have already worked on campaigns that go well beyond traditional “advertising” – or you would like to and you are looking to move because your agency doesn’t seem to have caught up with the way the real world operates today. You are keen to work in a unique strategy group environment with partner disciplines such as connection planning and interactive strategy. You have an innate curiosity and a creative mind. So much so that Creatives actually like you and seek you out to hear what you have to say. Oddly, clients want to hear your point of view too - because as well as being an ideas person, you are just as comfortable with business topics and quantitative data. You are just as at home with mining the “Internets” and “doing the Google” as sources for consumer understanding as you are running some form of qualitative study (which you would prefer was not a dry focus group).
Visit us at www.mckinney.com for more info about us. Please refer to the plannersphere when applying, and send send your resume to info@mckinney.com

Undercurrent London and New York looking for kick ass strategists...
Ok, you probably enjoy your current job. You are brilliant and good at what you do. You haven't thought about leaving your job but hey, every so often you think about doing something different (it is not reeeeeally a sin to get excited about different things).
If that is the case then awesome! But, here is the thing...
...you could carry on doing what you do the way you do it for as long as you want to do it but maybe, just maybe, you could be sexier and even more progressive (and...have more fun) doing it with us at Undercurrent.
We are looking for strategists to play with us in our London and New York offices, so, if you fancy hanging with a bunch of creative thinkers and innovators (we are bold enough to say that we really are THAT much better) then send us a piece of you e.g.: link to your blog, portfolio, video, podcast etc etc etc.
Oh, and don't forget your CV...but showing us what you have done or are doing will probably be more important to us than just your CV.
