About the Role
As an Engagement Strategist in Ogilvy Health, your main focus will be defining how, where, and when we connect with Healthcare Professionals (HCPs) and target audiences across the treatment landscape. This role bridges brand vision and real-world execution. You will create omnichannel engagement strategies, map customer experience journeys, and shape meaningful touchpoints across a balanced portfolio of promotional and medical accounts spanning prescription medicine, specialised therapy areas, and consumer health. This is a versatile planning role designed for someone curious, lateral-thinking, and eager to mold their strategic craft within a supportive, high-performing strategy team.
What You’ll Do
- Support the creation of customer engagement strategies across promotional and medical communications, mapping out effective touchpoints for Healthcare Professionals including doctors, specialists, pharmacists, and broader care teams.
- Analyze HCP behaviors, decision-making drivers, and channel preferences to build end-to-end engagement ecosystems.
- Co-design and facilitate strategic client workshops, strategy development sessions, and interactive planning meetings.
- Mine actionable insights from data, research, and behavioral observations to unlock strategic white space and competitive advantage.
- Work closely with strategy leaders across a blend of client accounts (approximately 50/50 split across promotional and medical/scientific streams), adapting seamlessly to different therapeutic areas.
- Contribute research, journey mapping, and engagement thinking to integrated 360° pitches and new business initiatives.
