In Digital is a performance marketing agency and consultancy set-up to challenge the status quo of the agency world. Clients demand more from their agencies – speed, transparency, service – and agencies demand more variety and visibility of the impact of their work from their clients.

At In Digital, we operate as a seamless extension of our clients’ teams. We’ve broken down the traditional client/agency barriers and that means we can deliver better performance and service for our clients, making our jobs more fun and interesting.

Account Director – typical responsibilities:

• Spearheading our client teams & owning the media marketing strategy - developing effective plans that speak to the client priorities and deliver results
• Client relationship management at all levels, from CMOs to marketing execs
• Client budget management, planning and forecasting
• Leading great teams of marketers to help them deliver brilliant work, develop their skills and progress in their careers
• Campaign set-up, management and optimisation in one or more of these areas:
• Paid Search / Shopping campaigns
• Paid social
• Programmatic display
• Be on the pulse with performance, reporting and analysis, proactively generating insights and recommendations
• Proposing optimisations and ideas for growth/increased efficiencies
• Presentations to senior client stakeholders

A bit about you:

• Strategic and planning experience underpinned by solid experience in activation, building effective campaigns
• Confident in identifying areas of opportunity and planning approaches based on client needs, seeing them through to execution.
• Comfortable being a bridge from strategy to execution, supporting the more junior team through it, and keen to get stuck in the detail as and when required
• Demonstrable expertise in successfully managing at least one performance channel, e.g. PPC, Social or Programmatic Display, preferably in a specialist agency setting
• Excellent communication and presentation skills with confidence to operate in a very client-facing role. Comfortable providing thought-leadership and proactive recommendations to clients.
• Highly analytical and numerate – preferably with experience with analytics tools like Google Analytics or Adobe Analytics
• Excellent understanding of the marketing technology landscape, vendors and tools

Things we like, but aren’t essential:

• Media experience within the Entertainment industry a plus, but not necessary
• Some experience in other channels or areas of digital (such as CRO, CRM or Analytics)
• Experience in mobile marketing and mobile attribution
• A good understanding of the creative briefing process and creative optimisation
• Degree in an analytical subject

Why work for In Digital?

• A certified Great Place to Work, recognised as one of the UK's Best Workplaces for Wellbeing 2024
• Best of both worlds: work in blue-chip companies’ marketing teams and in a fast-growth agency at the same time
• Covent Garden office with a private bar, great coffee and an array of restaurants in the vicinity
• Rewarding work with great opportunities for development and progression
• 25 days of annual leave
• Flexible working with working-from-abroad
• Private pension and cycle-to-work schemes
