We are an excitable and exciting, independent integrated comms agency that's been around since 2005. We love what we do and are brilliant at it. Fact. At the heart of the company is a team of like-minded, creative folks with a passion for delivering standout campaigns.

Located in the heart of Soho, London, we’re a tight team who combine the disciplines of creative advertising, design, social, and media to produce brand-changing, thought-provoking work for a range of brilliant clients in different industry sectors.

Reporting into our Head of Client Services, we’re looking for a savvy & strategic social media manager to join us. This person will have a finger on the pulse and is brimming with enthusiasm and energy, ready to challenge the agency and our clients with what’s possible in the world of social. As this role is part of an integrated agency, often social forms part of a larger project or campaign which means you will be integral to the delivery of mixed media campaigns for clients.

You will work across several challenger and established brands in our client portfolio such as pet grooming products, chocolate bars and FMCG brands looking to get social.

We are certainly looking for a great cultural and social fit so please include your personal flair in your application so we can get a feel for who you are as an individual. Feel free to check out our TikTok and website to get a little peek behind the curtain. Of course, you will have full support and career development along the way - ask us to tell you about it when we meet.
