About the Group The world is obsessed by small start-ups or the largest corporates. Most UK media agencies are built to serve the top 100 spending clients, and there are a multitude of boutique agencies to serve those starting out in business. The Specialist Works is different. We are built exclusively for marketers at entrepreneurial brands. Businesses that are past the messy start-up stage but are worlds away from the slow-paced nature of large corporates. Our clients span large privately owned businesses (often PE backed, founder-led or both) and small to mid-cap public enterprises. They are fighting larger, more established competitors and know they need to think and behave differently to win. They don’t conform to category norms. Since they can’t out-spend their competition, disruption is the safest move they can make. The marketers leading these brands are innovative, resourceful, moving at pace and in all-out growth mode. They’re powerful; redefining categories, overtaking and acquiring traditional businesses and changing consumer behaviour along with it. Our clients share three common yet exciting challenges which define everything we do as an agency: Consumer – customer acquisition is key to their success Company – they are highly ambitious and built lean Category – they are often outspent by their competitors, need to outmanoeuvre the competition and are passionate about disrupting an established category Role Overview The Junior Media Trading Executive is an entry-level role that provides essential support to the trading team, with a focus on reporting, data entry, contract review and coordination.
