<p><strong>About the Role</strong></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto"><span data-ccp-parastyle="Normal (Web)">At Ogilvy Health, ideas don't live in isolation. They live in systems - moving through channels, culture, communities, and conversations to influence mindsets and drive meaningful behavior change. Engagement Strategy sits at the intersection of brand, medical, creative, experience, and analytics, turning that thinking into real, connected, audience-inspired experiences. At its core, great engagement never loses sight of who it's for, why it matters to them, and how it moves them forward on their health journey.</span></span></p>
