Base pay range

We’re working with one of the UK’s leading marketing agencies in live entertainment.

They partner with top producers, venues, and talent to deliver smart, high-impact campaigns across the West End and beyond — from global franchises to new productions. If you’ve ever walked past a standout tube poster for a West End show, chances are this team was behind it.

After a strong year of growth and new client wins, they’re now hiring an Account Director (or Marketing Director, for those from in-house) to take the lead on a portfolio of theatre and ticketed event clients.

This is for someone who knows the sector — not just the channels and audiences, but the pace, pressure and people behind it all.

What you’ll be doing:

• Lead end-to-end campaign planning across theatre and live events
• Own client relationships and act as a strategic partner
• Brief internal teams across media, digital, creative and content
• Ensure delivery is on time, on budget, and to a high standard
• Guide and support junior team members
• Spot opportunities to grow and strengthen key accounts

What they’re looking for:

• Experience at Account Director or Marketing Director level in theatre, live events, or ticketed attractions
• Confidence leading strategy, clients, and teams
• A solid grasp of paid, owned and earned media
• Ideally agency background, or a senior in-house marketer ready to switch gears
• Someone who enjoys theatre and understands the audience

Why this role?

• You’d lead campaigns for some of the biggest names in live entertainment – from global tours to major West End launches
• It’s not just high-profile work, it’s meaningful – built on long-term client partnerships and creative that actually gets noticed
• The team’s sharp, collaborative and genuinely decent – they back each other, move quickly, and care about doing things well
• You’ll be trusted from day one to lead accounts, shape creative direction and bring new thinking to the table
• It’s fast-paced but well-supported – flexible working, wellness resources, and proper investment in development
