Marketing Agency Senior Account Exec / Account Manager

We’re seeking a great team player to join our full-service marketing agency. We work with a range of clients across B2B and B2C throughout the UK but with a specialism in Kent and the surrounding areas.  We’re looking for someone who is passionate, hands-on and with the drive to wow each and every one of our clients – who range from built-environment clients, leisure venues, local authorities, public sector organisations, large-scale developers, and emerging destinations.

We are smart communicators, telling our clients’ stories creatively across multiple channels, providing digital marketing support and delivering data-driven results every step of the way.

2025 is shaping up to be a busy year for us, and demand for our services has grown considerably creating an opportunity for an additional account manager with a passion for traditional and digital communications and a desire to work on some really interesting accounts.

Whether you’re a driven PR or digital marketeer looking for that next step or an experienced account manager looking for a new collaborative team of colleagues, we want to hear from you.

Our goal is simple – to deliver for our clients – and you will be part of the team that will make that happen. Experience in placemaking and/or the built environment or public sector communications would be an advantage, but if you’re driven and keen to learn, this is not essential.

You will be responsible for a number of our key clients, so you will need to be driven to obtain data-rich results and be comfortable updating and advising clients directly but with the support of the wider team.

• Developing, delivering and reporting on bespoke communications and marketing strategies for your clients
• Awareness of the how re-targeting can support with lead-generation campaigns

• Creating or overseeing written content, award entries, press releases, and social media content
• Seeking and securing new marketing opportunities for each of your clients whilst growing and maintaining a sound network of contacts
• Working on proposals for potential clients, including writing and delivering new business pitches
• Being a trusted, knowledgeable and proactive advisor to your clients

• Minimum of three years’ experience in marketing and/or PR
• Experience working in built environment (BE), property, placemaking or public sector marketing (desirable)
• Ability to work to tight deadlines and deliver results
• Excellent time management and organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to prioritise
• A proactive approach to workload and new ideas for your clients or for Pillory Barn
• Agency experience an advantage but not essential
• Knowledge of Search Engine Optimisation and other online marketing disciplines would be advantageous.

In return, we offer a good package including a health plan, sickness benefit, career progression, training and a flexible working environment.

• Competitive salary (DOE)
• Hybrid working
• Workplace pension scheme
• A day off and a gift for your birthday
• Health cash plan
• Group income protection scheme
• Recognition and long service rewards
• Recruitment referral initiative
