Senior Associate, National Video Investment

About Apex

Apex is Publicis Groupe’s futures marketplace, leveraging Publicis capital to create risk-free, value-based investment opportunities for clients. We’re not a typical agency—in fact, we aren’t an agency at all. Rather, we are a distinct and next-generation trading entity within Publicis Groupe. Our industry expertise, understanding of consumer and market trends, and strategic partnerships enable us to deliver innovative, omnichannel solutions that drive a range of marketing and business goals. Apex solutions help shape the industry, drive outcomes, and keep Publicis clients ahead of trends.

You’ll work across all Publicis Groupe agencies, gaining a unique opportunity to learn the full media landscape and collaborate with a breadth of clients. You’ll develop both Investment and Business Operations skills—a unique blend not often combined within agencies. You’ll work in digital platforms regardless of the channel, and if you don’t know it, we’ll teach you. You’ll lead the industry by identifying future-facing opportunities, areas to invest, and upcoming trends within the marketing space.
