ABOUT US_

At Talon, our purpose is to be the independent agency of choice providing a pioneering global platform for brands to connect with audiences in the outside world. We want to reimagine the industry to deliver greater value for our clients whilst inspiring people and caring for our planet. We’re passionate about OOH and are on a mission to drive the growth of this sector within the media industry – changing perceptions of it as a legacy medium to one that is highly effective, creative, sustainable, and measurable for our clients.

In our first 10 years, our desire to offer intelligent, creative, technology-led OOH solutions and a full-service OOH offering saw us grow into a team of over 300 people located in key cities across the globe. In that time, we have been awarded for our approach to our people, our clients and our industry and want to continue and expand upon these successes.

THE ROLE_
