Advertising & Brand Lead, Marcom Greater China
Shanghai, Shanghai, China
Marketing
Apple is where individual imaginations gather together, committing to the values that lead to great work. Every new product we build, service we create, or Apple Store experience we deliver is the result of us making each other’s ideas stronger. That happens because every one of us shares a belief that we can make something wonderful and share it with the world, changing lives for the better. It’s the diversity of our people and their thinking that inspires the innovation that runs through everything we do. When we bring everybody in, we can do the best work of our lives. Here, you’ll do more than join something — you’ll add something.
As Marcom's Advertising and Brand lead, you will be responsible for developing the best campaign for Apple in Greater China. This includes origination and localization work, from creative development, production, deployment, and evaluation of our advertising campaigns. You’ll collaborate with our creative and media agencies and supervise the localization and amplification of campaigns to work powerfully for our geo markets.
You will also be responsible for synchronizing various Marcom disciplines to support Apple’s product launch and sustaining marketing communications for the Apple product families. This position will require close collaboration across multiple functions, including Strategy, Interactive, Channel & Partners Marketing, Apple Retail, Social, and Product Marketing teams to drive integrated campaigns.
This position requires a self-motivated, flexible individual with well-developed communication and leadership skills. You should be a strong leader and strategic thinker, capable of seeing the bigger picture and orchestrating projects from brief to completion. This role requires you to constantly challenge the status quo and seek new and better ways to communicate internally and externally.
