London | Hybrid Working | Competitive Salary + Bonus
In the mid-2010s, a collective of ambitious strategists and media practitioners came together around a shared belief: marketing had lost its edge. Too much of the industry relied on recycled playbooks and off-the-shelf solutions, and too few were willing to challenge the norm. Their mission was to prove that when creativity, data science, and commercial sharpness collide, brands achieve growth that feels truly original.
Over the years, that vision has evolved into a business with a clear point of difference. They’ve built their own planning frameworks and technology, not as buzzwords, but as practical tools to help brands see what really works. They’ve grown alongside a diverse roster of clients, from scaling DTC challengers to household names in retail, travel, and lifestyle, delivering both performance and brand growth in equal measure.
Momentum has been a constant theme: launching new service lines in CRM and conversion optimisation, experimenting with AI-powered media tools, and building a culture where collaboration and well-being go hand-in-hand with commercial ambition. It’s an environment defined by shared values: ownership, curiosity, creativity, and the courage to try new things.
Now, the team is looking for a Head of Paid Media to lead the next chapter. This isn’t just about running high-performing campaigns, it’s about shaping the agency’s paid media proposition across social, search, and programmatic. You’ll inspire a talented team, partner with clients to unlock commercial impact, and experiment at the edges of what’s possible, from emerging formats to AI-driven optimisation.
You’ll bring more than a decade of experience across paid social, search, and programmatic, ideally from an agency environment. You’ll combine deep technical expertise with creative instinct, leadership with mentorship, and strategy with execution. A commercial mindset is key, you’ll know how to grow client revenue and your team’s influence. Most importantly, you’ll have the curiosity to embrace new tools and the clarity to turn complex strategies into simple, compelling stories.
This is an opportunity to join a business where bravery is rewarded, ownership is expected, and growth, both personal and professional, is part of the everyday journey.
