Be the change…
We’re a purpose-driven marketing agency, looking for an accomplished marketer on the look-out for a new challenge to change the world for the better. We’re a small team with a big heart, big reach and big ambitions…seeking transformational change with the individuals, communities and organisations we choose to work with.
As a full-service, award-winning marketing agency with a social conscience, you might suspect we work on all sorts of societal, business and brand challenges on a day-to-day basis. You’d be right. In fact, our researchers, planners, creatives and coders work on integrated campaigns and discrete specialist research, design, digital and engagement projects in many parts of the UK, and new briefs are coming in on a daily basis…even international ones. This is one reason we want to add some new exciting talent to our team.
Working at Hitch means a safe, stimulating and fun place to develop a career and create some of your best work…even work you never thought possible. Hey, we’re all ambitious here. Plus we’re a friendly bunch (including the MD), and are all here for each other. So in those busy ‘help’ moments, we’ll have your back.
As for fitting in, you’d definitely need to want to make the world a better place! We get excited about that sort of thing. And whilst we want everyone in the team to be themselves and enjoy the adventure, we encourage a culture that reflects the Hitch DNA – that is to: Pioneer; Enable; Relate; Create; Know. You’re bright, so you’ll have a sense of what that already means, but we’ll tell you more when we meet. It’s worth hearing…and experiencing!
So, if you’re intrigued and still reading, here’s more about the opportunity:
Full Time Senior Account Manager / Account Director, Strategy & Planning, Wirral HQ, £32-40k + benefits + bonus
Our strategy and planning team is the glue here at Hitch. It makes things ‘integrated’. It joins things up, and converts research and actionable insights into impactful campaigns, moments and experiences that change attitudes and behaviours for the better. The great thing about being the glue is you get involved in all areas of a marketing project working alongside specialist teams, which will tick plenty of your boxes.
To succeed in this role you’ll already have a proven track record in an agency environment with at least five years’ experience and a good degree and/or masters (or equivalent) in a related subject. Your track record of delivering insight-driven and evaluated campaigns of an award-winning standard, including the full communications mix, will put you in good stead as you lead and run a range of integrated campaigns and projects. This role will also need you to turn on your great project and people management skills as you work across departments, manage others, perform in a team and work autonomously.
In an ambitious company like Hitch, you’ll be able to hold a room big or small, and be comfortable and confident supporting and leading business development opportunities as they arise in the areas of local and central government, health, charity, fmcg, transport and education. As for your clients (and peers), they’ll be impressed with your knowledge, experience and ability to deliver results. As a strong communicator, you’ll have a way with words in many contexts including transforming complex subjects into tight copy.
Your experience and skills will be backed up by your awareness and application of developments and trends in marketing, design and digital. You’ll also need some knowledge and experience of behaviour change and behavioural economics, to help underpin your strategic and evidence-based thinking in a fast-paced environment.
