Job opportunities in Trinidad with a nationwide recruitment
A recent merger between brand consultancy, Abovegroup and advertising agency, Inglefield Ogilvy & Mather, is creating several job opportunities in Trinidad with a nationwide recruitment.
This represents a seismic shift in the local creative industries. Abovegroup Ogilvy brings together two distinct but complementary groups of skills and experience – offering the most comprehensive range of services available under one roof anywhere in the Caribbean. From branded entertainment, branding, advertising, digital, strategy, PR, traditional and guerrilla marketing to media management by the globally recognised industry leader, Mindshare.
Abovegroup Ogilvy strives to provide work that is different, original and creative; and to work with the best talent out there. They offer a relaxed work environment, competitive package, fast-track career opportunities and the chance to work on a variety of highly creative projects with local, regional, and global brands.
There are several opportunities here in Trinidad and we are looking for the best creative minds and strategic thinkers to join our team.
Abovegroup Ogilvy will revolutionise the way the agency business is done. Positioning ourselves as Brand Engineers, there are going to be a lot of firsts:
• The first truly full-service communications company in the country
• The first in the country to have a dedicated Strategy & Planning department. The first with a tightly integrated in-house digital team
• The first to have an environmental policy, which includes dedicating 5% of annual resources to improving the social and physical environments in Trinidad and Tobago and beyond
• The first carbon-neutral company in the country by the end of 2011
• The first to offer branded entertainment
• The first to publish free white papers on trends and changes in the region, developed by our in-house strategy team.
This will be backed by having the best and most creative minds in the industry, access to global networks and a solid understanding of the local corporate, consumer goods and youth markets.
“Our mission as a company is simple – to make the world a brighter place “, says Director Tony Inglefield. “We mean it, and we’re going to do it in a way that benefits everyone – our clients, their customers, the public, the countries in which we operate, our peers and ourselves. People are tired of the old way of doing things. There is no point pretending that nothing has changed when everything has and is already busy changing again. Of course there will be some who prefer the status quo. For everyone else, let’s get started.”
Fellow directors in Abovegroup Ogilvy include Russ Jarman Price, Alex Smailes and Gareth Jenkins.
