Your Mission: The Digital Comms Leader
As an Account Director, Digital Services, you’re not just running campaigns – you’re reading the room. We need someone who understands why things resonate, not just that they do. Someone who combines deep platform expertise with cultural intuition to see what’s coming next – and knows how to get our clients there first.
What you will be doing:
* The Cultural Architect: You are the designer of our clients' digital success. You won’t just answer briefs; you will define them. By synthesising complex performance data, platform insights, creator‑led trends, and wider cultural trends, you will build high-level strategies that ensure our clients don’t just show up, but stand out. You will act as the bridge between “what the data says” and “what the culture is doing,” translating numbers into narratives and ensuring every strategic move is backed by evidence and intuition.
* The Performance Catalyst: You are the force that makes our ideas travel. Strategy is only as good as its activation, and you will ensure ours creates a reaction. Acting as an account lead, you will drive the planning, optimisation, and scaling of campaigns across the digital ecosystem (LinkedIn, Meta, and beyond) – including dedicated and sophisticated Paid Media executions. You will ensure these efforts never sit in a silo, working hand‑in‑glove with PR and Creative to amplify earned media moments – delivering a truly integrated approach where the idea leads and the channel follows.
* The Agency Pioneer: You are leading the way for the business, not just your accounts. You will build deep, trusted partnerships with senior stakeholders, managing budgets and expectations with commercial rigor. But beyond the day‑to‑day, you are looking forward. You will help shape the future of Axicom by identifying organic growth opportunities and championing our AI evolution. You will lead by example in adopting and operationalising AI tools, ensuring we remain the most tech‑enabled agency in the network.
Who we are looking for:
* Intelligence: You are insatiably curious and culturally switched‑on. You don’t just consume information; you connect the dots between data, platform trends, and human behaviour to find creative solutions that others miss.
* Initiative: You are a driver, not a passenger. You see the solution before others see the problem, taking ownership of your accounts and constantly pushing for better ways to work, think, and deliver for our clients.
* Integrity: You lead with empathy and act with conviction. You build deep trust with clients and colleagues alike by being authentic, inclusive, and committed to doing the right thing – even when it’s the hard thing.
* Paid Media Mastery: This is non‑negotiable. You are an expert in the platforms (LinkedIn Campaign Manager, Meta Ads Manager, etc.) with deep practical experience in planning, budgeting, optimising, and scaling performance campaigns.
* Creator Economy Fluency: You understand the influencer landscape—from macro‑voices to micro‑communities. You have a strong point of view on how creator‑led content drives performance and can seamlessly integrate influencer strategies into broader digital plans.
* Integrated Thinking: You have a history of working alongside PR and Communications teams. You understand that digital doesn’t live in a silo – it amplifies media relations, corporate reputation, and creative storytelling.
* Analytical Storytelling: You are comfortable using analytics and data visualisation platforms to interpret performance. You don’t just report numbers; you can prove value of the work and ROI to clients.
* Agency Pedigree: Significant experience in a digital, social, or integrated agency environment, with a proven track record of managing senior client stakeholders and complex accounts.
* Commercial Acumen: You have experience managing client P&Ls, forecasting, and identifying organic growth opportunities. You understand the business of the agency as well as the business of the client.
* AI Literacy: You have a working knowledge of the current AI landscape and practical experience using AI tools to drive efficiency, innovation, or creativity in your workflows.
What we offer (beyond the usual perks):
* Exciting career growth: We’re invested in your journey, with clear paths for development.
* Generous remuneration & benefits: Because you’re worth it.
* Learning & development: Access to Employee Assistance, LinkedIn Learning and bespoke training to keep you at the top of your game.
* A Culture of support: You’ll be part of a team that truly values diversity, celebrates individuality and believes in winning together.
