Research and Media Analyst

We are a global marketing agency that has gone from start-up to multi-national in little over two decades. Our success is due to a combination of factors: talented people delivering award-winning campaigns, expanding client relationships into new markets or services, and making strategic acquisitions. TEAM LEWIS has won many prestigious awards, including Cannes Lions, PRovoke Media, ICCO, European Excellence, PRCA Digital, Digital Impact, and Global Digital Excellence.

At the heart of the business is the TEAM LEWIS Foundation (TLF). A non-profit charitable entity funded by TEAM LEWIS, the TLF makes grants to support individuals undertaking charitable activities and charitable organisations in achieving their goals. The TLF promotes social, cultural, economic, and environmental innovation that benefits society. It aims to strengthen the bonds between the communications industry, businesses, governments, and non-profits. Since January 2021, the TLF has supported over 2,000 causes all over the globe. Community charities are championed by TEAM LEWIS’ employees, who volunteer their time and skills to maximise the grants’ effectiveness.

Purpose of the role

The Research and Media Analyst will work in our consultancy team, VIVID, that provides data, insights, research, and analysis to support wider account servicing teams across APAC to deliver high-quality data-backed communications strategies for ongoing client accounts, projects, business development, and the agency’s own proprietary research initiatives.

You will play a crucial role in identifying trends, patterns, and opportunities within relevant industries or markets, enabling the brands we work with to capitalise on emerging trends, mitigate risks, and optimise strategies. You will often collaborate cross-functionally with various departments to uncover trends and insights to address specific business challenges.

Core responsibilities

1. Conduct research using various sources, including online databases, academic journals, and industry reports and analysis on media and social media listening platforms (e.g., Brandwatch consumer research, Meltwater).
2. Collect, organise, clean, and analyse data to identify trends, patterns, and insights relevant to client or company objectives.
3. Assist in preparation of consumer research methodology (e.g., qualitative interviews, quantitative surveys) either internally or with external 3rd party research vendors.
4. Assist in preparing reports, presentations, and other materials summarising research findings for internal and external stakeholders, including data visualisation to ensure they are easily readable.
5. Collaborate with team members to brainstorm ideas, develop research methodologies, and interpret results.
6. Maintain accurate records of research activities and findings for future reference. Stay updated on industry trends, market developments, and best practices in research and analysis.

About you

You are a highly curious individual with a keen interest in data, research, and analysis, eager to join a dynamic integrated communications agency team. You have an eye for detail, are adept at organising large volumes of data into easy-to-read charts, and are obsessed with understanding the “so what” and “why” behind data.

While you may be new to the industry, you have a foundation in research and/or data analytics and have demonstrated your ability to distil broad volumes of data into critical insights. You are open-minded and agnostic across data sets; in occasions with limited resources, you are able to find workarounds, prioritise what is available, and provide caveats to ensure analysis integrity. You have a positive growth mindset and are a team player, wanting to learn, collaborate, implement, and contribute to any projects, small or big.

Additional requirements:

1. Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (e.g., Data Science, Statistics, Business, Economics, Social Sciences, Communications, Mathematics).
2. 0-2 years of professional experience. We are also open to fresh graduates with relevant internship or academic experience.
3. Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret and synthesise data from multiple sources.
4. Excellent attention to detail and organisational skills.
5. Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and familiarity with research tools, databases, and visualisation platforms such as LookerStudio, PowerBI, Tableau, etc.
6. Strong written and verbal communication skills. Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
7. Prior experience or coursework in research methods, data analysis, media and social media listening, or related fields is a plus but not required.

This job description is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the responsibilities for this role. Other responsibilities may be added from time to time.
