Careers: We're hiring

UNTOLD is a multi-award-winning brand storytelling and marketing agency specialising in drinks, food, hotels, travel, luxury and heritage. Our founders, Rob Cowen and Theo Cooper, bring together a combined 40 years of storytelling expertise, journalistic insight and marketing acumen.

As practising creatives, we don’t think like other agencies. We bring brands to life through authentic, resonant and inspiring storytelling that speaks to new and existing audiences, driving engagement and converting consumers. Nine awards for our work in 2022 speak of the success of our ethos and approach to quality, industry-leading marketing and storytelling.

We’re now looking for a new team member to support us, our clients and work and grow with us as our agency goes from strength to strength.

Why work with UNTOLD?

This is an exciting time for us. We want to share our excitement and knowledge with the right people who share our vision. We’re a tight-knit, hard-working team of perfectionists who hold each other to account and aim to produce exceptional, unbeatable work every time.

We’re looking for an ambitious, self-starting Senior Marketing Account Manager with bags of energy and creative flair. You’ll be responsible for the day-to-day delivery of our projects, and you’ll be someone who is keenly organised and self-motivated, with an upbeat ‘hands-on’ approach, ready to pick up projects and make them happen. The lion’s share of the role is in the day-to-day detail of delivering projects and keeping our clients well informed. We’re looking for someone who can balance these strong organisational and client-facing responsibilities with creative flair and who can support the creative side of our projects with practical skills. With that in mind, it would be great if you also share our passion for drinks, food, hotels, travel, luxury and heritage, and can demonstrate experience in everything from crafting copy to updating websites.

Person specification:

• Ideally a senior account manager/director with robust and provable experience in a marketing/communications/PR agency (you could be returning to work after a career break or extended mat/paternity leave)
• Experience in social media & community management
• Experience in managing multi-channel projects – ideally including PR, advertising, print, online and film
• Experience as a highly professional but warm and friendly client liaison at all levels of seniority essential
