• Ability to work directly with clients and the wider Account team and manage not only the design process, but also the project timelines when needed
• Ability to communicate professionally with clients, stakeholders and the wider internal team (Account leads and Developers) is essential
• Ability to provide creative direction to a wider team of Creatives - inc. photographers, videographers and copywriters

Company Description

We’re an ambitious team of digital marketers with expertise across media, design and technology - spread across two offices in Marlow and St. Ives, Cornwall.

Over the past two years we’ve seen significant growth, expanding from a team of 4 to 10. Our journey began specialising in the aesthetics, medical and health industries, however a recent partnership with a branding agency has seen us enter the retail space.

We now successfully manage a portfolio of retail websites across the UK and Europe, to add to our existing client list of over 20 clients.

We offer the following services to our clients:

• Responsive web design and build
• Multi-channel digital marketing campaign management (SEO/PPC/social/email/programmatic)
• Content creation (inc. video, photography and copywriting)

For many of our clients we’ve not only designed and built their website, but also continue to work with them across digital marketing retainer contracts. As such it’s important that the successful candidate has an understanding of the ‘bigger picture’ when designing creative solutions - the digital marketing landscape and our client strategies.

Not your typical agency, we like to think we were ahead of the ‘new way of working’ pre-Covid curve. We understand work-life balance is key to a successful, happy team (and life!). Below are some of our staff perks:

• We offer flexible working hours with the ability to work from home (within reason)
• Unlimited holidays (within reason)
• Yearly training allowance of £500 per employee
• Yearly allowance of £100 for self-development (not work related)
• Two company away days/weekends per year - one summer, one winter
• Referral scheme - £500 if you refer a successful candidate who joins the team
• We want to create an environment people love to work in, so new joiners will be given £100 to make their mark in the office
• Friday lunches

Other Application Details:

• Salary is negotiable - we’re looking for the right kind of people to join us and are willing to pay above market rate to find them.
• We’re a flexible team. Currently we work 1-2 days in the office and 3-4 days from home.
• As long as the work is done to a high level we don’t mind where you are!
