Saatchi & Saatchi has grown from a start-up advertising agency in London in 1970 to a global creative communications company headquartered in New York with 114 offices in 67 countries and over 6500 employees.

Saatchi & Saatchi is part of the Publicis Groupe, the world’s third-largest communications group. We are a full-service, integrated communications network, and we work with 6 of the top 10 and over half of the top 50 global advertisers.

We’re in the business of getting people to fall in love with our client's products and services. We have an unshakeable spirit and unbeatable attitude from day one at Saatchi & Saatchi that Nothing is Impossible. We believe in creating ideas that can live anywhere and firmly believe that everyone matters. And we think that, when we work as a team, nothing is impossible.

As the agency of record for 9 Toyota Dealership Associations (TDAs) across the country, the Saatchi & Saatchi TDA Group is responsible for communicating local, regional and provincial Toyota vehicle programs to a diverse, multi-cultural consumer base through Broadcast, Radio, Digital, Social Media and OOH experiences.

Each TDA has a Board of Directors that sets the total budget spend for their region over a given year, and shapes and approves communication for that region. They work with the Regional Manager of that Toyota region.

The Saatchi TDA Group works with 9 TDA Boards: Greater New York, Tri-State, Upstate New York, Connecticut, Chicago, Portland, In-land, Denver, & Kansas City. These regions are diverse in their needs. Some markets are truck-strong, others, sedan-focused. When demand and supply weigh in, this can get even more complex. There are geographic and seasonal nuances involved in most of the customer’s needs, which impacts the communication to their unique audiences.

This role will be involved in all aspects of media including Broadcast, Digital, Social, Radio, Out of Home, and Sponsorships/Event Marketing. We do some truly innovative work across all these vehicles.

We are not a typical agency team and this is not your typical agency role.

There’s no time wasted on pitches. We dedicate all our energy to supporting a local Client and a national brand that is deeply present, respected, and established within the Greater Philadelphia media community.

Big media footprint, major campaigns with 365-integrated ad plans, macro- to micro-marketing: yes, we do all of that. The Client is an industry, sector, and market leader. And we are here to help our Client “win”.

We truly make a difference – and are central to helping our Clients things happen to benefit our communities across the Delaware & Lehigh Valleys.

While, as marketers, or key goal is to support our Client—and serve Clients that truly value the importance to engage customers by working with local philanthropic organizations and cause marketing close to our Clients’ hearts and genuine to their brand.

We maintain a proven track record of combining paid and earned media to drive results for the Client and their business partners.

Always aligned to the Client’s brand and to each individual Client’s unique value proposition, the team works to deliver sharp business results—while reaching the right target with the right message at the right time.
