Associate Director, Media Strategy

Company Description

We’re Heartbeat, the marketing agency for Healthcare Challenger Brands and the brave clients behind them. And hopefully you’re our next Associate Account Director of Media Strategy (Pharma), helping us to deliver game-changing campaigns for consumers & HCPs.

Read on to learn more about what qualities we’re looking for in a new member of the crew and why you’re gonna dig working with us.

Job Description

Heartbeat is a healthcare marketing & creative agency, headquartered in NYC and powered by the smartest thinkers and makers in the biz. Our community has 7 years running as a “Best Place to Work” by both Ad Age and MM+M, and we were named the first-ever “Diversity & Inclusion Champion” by MedAdNews.   

We care about three big things: 

1. Challenging Convention 
We work with marketers who have big mountains to climb, so the same ol’ playbooks won’t cut it. To help these brands find ways to break through, we must relentlessly deliver on our core values: ambition, insight, invention, courage, and positive impact. 

2. Being the Best Place You’ll Ever Work 

This isn’t about pool tables and Bagel Fridays — it’s about giving you the support to do and be your best. Examples include unlimited PTO, hybrid working, and self-care stipends. We foster a team culture that is about compassionate support and candid feedback. And we’re all about taking a break and letting loose, whether through selfie scavenger hunts or bouts of companywide bingo. 

3. Fostering a Diverse & Caring Community 

We’re the most diverse agency in healthcare, by design. No matter your story, you’ll find representation and amplification — through our affinity groups, cultural celebrations, and unwavering support. We’re proud to say that you can be anything you want at Heartbeat (as long as it’s not an a**hole).  

There’s a reason 1/3 of Heartbeaters have been here for 4+ years. We hope you’ll experience it for yourself.
