Job Description

Company Description

Creativity has the power to transform human behavior This is the core belief of what we call HumanKind. It\'s not about advertising or brand propositions or selling products. It\'s about people and purpose. It\'s an approach to marketing that serves true human needs, not the other way around. That\'s why everything we do for brands at Leo Burnett MEA is designed with a human purpose in mind. A brand without purpose is one that will never be understood or embraced by people. A brand with purpose can be a true agent of change and transform the way people think, feel or act. A brand with a true HumanKind purpose can change the world. Our dream is to be the best creator of ideas that truly move people - bar none. Leo Burnett Worldwide, part of Publicis Groupe, is one of the world\xe2\x80\x99s largest agency networks with 96 offices and nearly 10,000 employees. In 2012, the global network was awarded a record-breaking 55 Lions at the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity and was also named \xe2\x80\x9cNetwork of the Year\xe2\x80\x9d by YoungGuns, Dubai Lynx and MENA Cristal Awards. Leo Burnett works with some of the world\xe2\x80\x99s most valuable brands including The Coca-Cola Company, Fiat, Kellogg\xe2\x80\x99s, McDonald\xe2\x80\x99s, Nintendo, P&G, Samsung and Allstate among others.
