The team

Our Brand Impact team harness the collective power of creative, social and strategic marketing to produce electric, infectious and award-winning communications. We create provocative, inspiring solutions for big brands with stories to tell - which could be anything from traditional media, social first content and creators to an installation, film, event or long-term movement. And while we’re part of a successful global group, we have developed a ‘start-up’ mentality of bravery and entrepreneurialism, rooted in business-changing ideas.

Working alongside PR, social, creative and earned media specialists in the UK and across our global network, you’ll be working on brands you recognise and campaigns that have the potential to make an impact beyond social.

The role

Influencers and creators are changing the way brands show up in culture and we’re looking for someone who wants to be right in the middle of it.

You’ll be primarily focused on influencer and creator work, helping turn briefs into ideas, ideas into creator partnerships and creator partnerships into work people actually want to watch, share and tell their mates about.

Alongside this, you’ll bring your PR instincts to the table, identifying opportunities to turn creator activity, cultural moments and client stories into earned media. You’ll work across both disciplines to help our clients build relevance and conversation.

You’ll be plugged into what’s happening across traditional media and social including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Substack and beyond, spotting the cultural moments, creators, communities and trends that matter. You’ll help find the right Influencers and creators for our clients, work with them to bring our client’s key messages to life, review content and report campaign successes and learnings back to clients.
