Marketing Exec

The role

This role is suited to someone in the early stages of their marketing career who wants to gain broader agency experience across content, social media, email, websites, SEO support, reporting and campaign coordination.

You will work closely with the Senior Marketing Executive, Head of Marketing, Account Leads and wider delivery team to help keep marketing activity organised, accurate and moving forward.

This is a hands-on support role. You will not be expected to lead strategy or manage complex client accounts independently, but you will be expected to follow briefs carefully, take ownership of assigned tasks, ask questions early and apply feedback as you develop.

At Root Fifty-Two, marketing activity often brings together content, design, digital, development, performance and client strategy.

This role gives you the opportunity to learn how those areas connect in a busy agency environment. You will support the team with practical delivery tasks, helping prepare content, organise campaign activity, update marketing materials, support reporting and contribute to the smooth running of retained client work.
