Social & Paid Media Executive

Looking for a social role to grow with you?

We are…

An award-winning integrated agency, working with all sorts of clients across all sorts of sectors. Every day, and every project, offers something different. A new combination of skills and people. A new brief to get to grips with. A new audience to discover.

Our people get a kick out of collaboration, and we’re an agency that lives and breathes the ‘integrated’ bit. It’s not just lip service. We back our team, find ways for them to grow, and value a settled, friendly workplace. No burnout culture here.

The work we do can be found on supermarket shelves, social media feeds and newspaper front pages. Big brands come for our creative flare and exciting start-ups come for our strategic experience. We help global charities change the world, and game changing businesses seize the moment.

And we’ve been doing it all since 1999.

You are…

Someone with a taste for agency life, ready to get to grips with a diverse client roster and an integrated team that does… pretty much everything!

You’ll be comfortable using social media, creating content, and understanding the principles behind how brands use social. 

A day might include crafting social media calendars, managing communities on social through responses to questions and queries, jumping on trending topics and creating TikToks and reels, all whilst using creative from our studio to bring social channels to life.

Alongside Senior Account Executives, Account Managers and Heads of Department, you’ll have an eye on wider account objectives, preparing and presenting evaluations and reports that celebrate success and find learnings to act upon.

You’ll become an expert in content, and be expected to develop ideas, write posts and brief designers to create assets with impact.
