Role brief

Who are we? Maxwave - Europe's leader in Social Media Outcomes - translates consumer brands into social media. As the social-lead agency behind brands like E.ON, Jack Wolfskin, and ATU, Mawave manages nearly 200 million euros in advertising volume - the largest social media budget of any independent agency in Europe. The success secret of over 170+ Social Natives lies in their deep understanding of social media and their innovative use beyond traditional formulas: through the complete re-integration of media, creative, and production craftsmanship. Through agile "always-on" approaches instead of classic campaign thinking. Through data-driven optimization instead of hoped-for virality – consistently controlled and measured against customer-relevant business goals along the marketing funnel.
