Campaign Manager

About the Job

Are you a data-driven 'tech-head' with a genuine passion for marketing and emerging advertising solutions? Bolster Group is looking for a Campaign Manager to join our team of media specialists working across some of Australia's most iconic entertainment, consumer and lifestyle brands.

With your strategic, solutions-focused mindset and cross-platform expertise, you'll be able to act as a soundboard for clients, troubleshoot challenges and collaborate with your peers with a proactive and can-do attitude. This is an awesome opportunity to join a supportive team of high-performers that are laser-focused on results but just as equally on having fun along the way.

If you have a proven track record of effectively managing campaigns and clients, plus a juicy brain to boot, then we want to hear from you

OK, I'm sold – but what even is Bolster?

We are integrated communications specialists with an eye on culture.

Headquartered from Melbourne Australia, we're a team of 50+ passionate individuals spread across four specialist teams.

Our foundational clients include festivals and events such as Splendour In The Grass, Beyond The Valley, Pitch, St Jerome's Laneway Festival, and more recently RISING Festival, ALWAYS LIVE and Sydney Festival.

Bolster Group has devised integrated campaigns for some of the world's biggest brands including Bacardi-Martini Australia, KFC, Google, EA Games, Samsung, Warner Music, and more. We're the agency you bring in when you want to play meaningfully in music and broader culture.

At Bolster, we do loads of stuff, but 3 things really well:

1. Consulting: We guide brands and experience makers through a challenging landscape with pointed insights and cultural understanding. Our consulting services extend across culture marketing, creative and content, media, social and community building.

2. Branded entertainment: We devise fan-led creative solutions and storytelling that helps brands cut through.

3. Media: We amplify brands within impactful media, ensuring our clients are in front of the right people at the right time.

Our offering extends even further when you consider our sister agencies:

• Aeroplane (experiential and commercial rights);

• Common State (PR); and

• Going North (First Nations cultural engagement).

Ultimately, Bolster Group is famous for connecting brands to their fans.
