Why Saatchi

You know we like doing impossible things

• And you might know we’re pretty big. But not we’re not like, Death Star big. We’re more like four spaceships flying in formation.
• And people think we’re a massive TV shop (Ok, that’s true). But we’re also hugely awarded for our work in experiential, social and digital. We create pop culture moments that resonate across the media landscape.
• And being big, we can throw meaningful resources behind the things we care about. So yes, we’re big. But that’s part of how we make big changes in the world.

We fall in love with the problem, not the solution.
What is Radical Clarity?
It’s what you achieve by cutting through complexity and humanising all that beautiful data. Because that’s when your impossible goal becomes radically, unmistakably clear — as does your path to achieving it. And with an army of communication professionals on the job, we smash impossible with provocative ideas. Ones that we all get behind. And when you tell people about them, they respond with words we can’t use on this website. That’s when we know we’re on to something. From there we hone the idea, execute it beautifully, and launch it on the world.

Creativity is about making connections.
And we’ve been lucky enough to connect with the best and brightest. At every level across all four Saatchi offices—from leadership to internship—our diverse team brings unique perspectives that drive endless innovation. And even in virtual meetings, we always keep it real.

Work / Life balance
You know how you do. You know what you need. And you know when you need it. Whatever floats your boat, keeps you brilliant, and makes you, you, we want you to keep doing it. And it’s easy with Flexible Time Off.

Professional growth
With a supportive leadership team, uber-talented peers, a roster of exciting clients and the resources of Publicis Groupe, the world is your oyster. Or something else if you’re not into shellfish.

Health and Wellness
Body and mind are the two most amazing things that any of us will ever own. If we don’t have our health, then we don’t have anything. That’s why we have a Health, Wellness & Comfort Reimbursement for all full timers.
