An integrated creative agency for the age of authenticity. For their fast growth b2b technology client, they are responsible for creating a wide and diverse range of global, omnichannel, through-the-line content and creative for two of the world’s biggest brands.
About the role
This is, for the right person, the role of a lifetime - you will be working above, below and through the line, on tech & entertainment B2B workstreams that include:
- Integrated through-the line campaigns – feat. film, social, OOH, print and more
- Content strategy – developing responses to exciting business challenges, and owning RTBs with senior clients
- Brand positioning projects (predominantly B2B)
- Long-form films, including docu-style, shooting IRL and remotely in the UK and US
- (Anything else you can think of, to be honest – podcasts, virtual events, long-form articles, data visualisation, social… )
This is a fast-growth account that has scaled from three people to 30 in less than three years. It operates at the pace of a start-up, and as such it’s a role for someone who is looking for an exciting creative challenge, where no two days are the same, and the possibilities are limitless.
This is a senior and pivotal role leading on narrative and content across a range of creative campaigns and workstreams. You will be working on everything from large global consumer campaigns to tactical below-the-line B2B content on outputs including, but not limited to, social, film, digital, print, experiential – and everything in between.
If this is you, read on.
Your experience and portfolio of work must demonstrate your ability to think strategically, lead teams to bring out their best and deliver outstanding editorial and campaigns on time and on budget.
You must have immaculate attention to detail and be prepared to be in the weeds as well as looking at the bigger picture.
