Supervisor, Multicultural

Company description Zenith is one of Publicis Groupe’s largest media agencies, spanning 95 markets globally with US offices in New York, Burbank, Chicago, Atlanta and Detroit. For more than 30 years, we have been at the forefront of media, helping to evolve and reshape the industry. We are highly regarded as a true agency partner by many high-profile brands for our expertise across numerous categories and wide range of capabilities that are unparalleled in the industry. Clients hire us for our track record of excellence in strategic planning, investment, and measurement. We also have specialist offerings, including content, commerce, multicultural and future-proofed data capabilities. Overview Overview: Zenith is seeking a Multicultural Strategy Supervisor to help lead day-to-day multicultural media strategy and planning for a major healthcare client. This is not a traditional media planning role. This is a role for someone who believes multicultural strategy should sit at the intersection of culture, data, media behavior, technology, and business growth — not at the end of the planning process. The Multicultural Strategy Supervisor will support the development, execution, and stewardship of culture-first media strategies across key audience segments, including Hispanic/Latino, Black/African American, LGBTQ+, and Asian/AANHPI audiences. This person will help translate cultural insight, audience data, competitive intelligence, media trends, and marketplace signals into clear, actionable, and measurable recommendations that drive stronger client outcomes. This role sits within a large, integrated team of omni-channel strategic thinkers and partners closely with strategy, investment, analytics, data, activation, and inter-agency teams. The Supervisor will also help guide junior team members and serve as a day-to-day multicultural strategy resource across the business. Why This Role Matters Multicultural strategy is not an add-on to the plan. It is a growth lens. This role helps ensure that multicultural audiences are understood with nuance, planned for with precision, and activated with the same level of rigor as any core business priority. The right candidate will help move the work beyond representation and into measurable impact — connecting cultural relevance to media effectiveness, brand growth, and business accountability. The role also requires someone who can operate in a fast-moving, modern strategy environment — someone who is hands-on in the tools, fluent in the data, proactive in using AI-enabled systems, and capable of turning complexity into clear client-facing recommendations. Responsibilities Media Strategy, Cultural Insight, and Competitive Intelligence Contribute to the development of multicultural media strategies across the client portfolio with a culture-first mindset. Translate cultural, behavioral, media, marketplace, and competitive signals into clear strategic recommendations. Research, interpret, and evaluate cultural marketing data, media research, audience insights, and competitive activity to inform media objectives and strategies. Stay current on multicultural marketplace shifts, media innovation, audience behavior, platform changes, industry trends, and competitive activity. Draft client-facing POVs, strategic recommendations, educational materials, marketplace updates, and competitive assessments. Evaluate media partners, platforms, content environments, and emerging opportunities to determine how they can best reach and engage multicultural audiences. Assess media performance to determine whether original objectives and strategies were met. Help identify innovation opportunities across the multicultural marketplace that can drive client business impact. Manage multicultural projects, timelines, resources, and deliverables across multiple workstreams. Support client-facing presentations and planning deliverables with clear logic, strong storytelling, and actionable next steps.

Turn data, research, marketplace inputs, and cultural signals into concise, well-structured deliverables. Help the team evolve how multicultural strategy is built, packaged, and delivered in a more modern, efficient, and insight-driven way.
