Brief Overview

Fed up with a handbrake malfunction on your career & role and need something where you won’t be doing the same thing, and offers fulfilment, variety, excitement, and you’ll be constantly doing new things – read on.

This is a chance to create a better story for yourself and step away from the mundane, in a role which will see you knee-deep in handling the finer details of campaigns – just think mega cool events, design, creative, film, and maybe a bit of animation, too.

All with an agency that has fully embraced how people want to work, develop & progress, underpinned by an endearing culture, not too serious, just damn good at what they do.

The role

If you’ve spent time thinking how you can work with an eclectic mix of iconic names that will elevate your career & fancy a nibble at the cake, you’ll be hard pushed to beat this opportunity. This agency has an unreal record of illuminating the brand presence of their clients, whether that’s through a barnstorming event, conference, or creating campaigns across all touchpoints that move the heart & mind. You will work across several clients, delivering projects, so strong operational events & logistics know-how is imperative.

The agency didn’t lose heart in Covid; in fact, they got better & better at going deeper to understand how they can help brands stand head & shoulders above their closest rivals. In this role, you’ll be taking the reins on all projects, so think budgets, timescales, harnessing internal & external communication, ensuring the seamless transition of briefs, from ideation to execution.

You’ll work closely with internal teams, bringing together different projects; event promotion strategies and materials, including social media campaigns, email, content, video & film, and you will absolutely love getting into the hustle & bustle of projects that need a calm & considered head on their shoulders.

What we’re looking for

This will suit someone who can bring those moments of calm when there are a few plates spinning, all with an air of tact & diplomacy – knowing when to push or sit back. The key is being able to take the lead on the creation, development, and implementation of events, from mass participation to niche & stylish flagship events.

You’ll need a few years of agency experience under your belt & be able to collaborate effectively, with different people, both internally & externally. Culture is huge & it will only suit someone who is grounded & approachable and is simply top-notch at creating superb client & inter-agency relationships – you will be managing key accounts, with existing and potential clients, leading and owning main relationships. People who are working in-house will be considered, but you must have spent some time in an agency during your career.

You’ll need a pragmatic mindset coupled with extensive experience overseeing the logistical side of large-scale events, including a sound appreciation of the digital landscape. The art of flexible thinking is key to this role, as well as illuminating the presence of events through innovative content campaigns.

What’s in it for you

A salary of between £40 – £50,000 plus the opportunity to work for an agency that values people and has changed beyond recognition over the last few years and is continuing to grow and prosper. You’ll also get 25 holidays, plus bank holidays, hybrid working, and many more perks to make your working life more enjoyable. They’re flexible thinkers & just want people to enjoy what they do.

You will also be working in an environment that encourages career and personal development, with opportunities to work on brands that will give your CV kudos and gravitas. You will be part of a management team with significant input into the agency’s direction. Take the shackles off your career & give it a shot.
