This role would suit an experienced digital marketer who is confident managing paid media campaigns, owning client relationships and contributing to new-business pitches.

You’ll take responsibility for the full campaign lifecycle, from strategy and activation through to optimisation, reporting and recommendations, while acting as a key digital contact for a portfolio of clients.

A key part of this hire is finding someone who is confident presenting digital strategy and contributing to new-business pitches and tender presentations.

Experience across LinkedIn, TikTok, Microsoft Ads, Snapchat, CRM platforms or Education clients would be beneficial but is not essential.

Why Join?

• Join a growing independent agency with a strong track record of year-on-year growth
• Work in a lean team where you’ll have genuine ownership of your accounts
• No micromanagement – you’ll be trusted to get on with your work and make decisions
• Opportunity to have a real voice in digital strategy rather than being siloed into one channel
• Work across a varied client portfolio, including lead-generation focused accounts
• Clear progression opportunities as the digital function continues to grow
• Regular fully funded team socials and company away trips
• 21 days’ holiday plus bank holidays and your birthday off
