Digital Marketing Account Lead
Job description
We’re looking for a Digital Marketing Account Lead to join either our St Albans or Cheltenham team.
Wagada Digital has a single mission – to provide expert support to our clients whilst offering a positive work culture of learning and fun. Our team is everything to us and our clients flourish on the strong working relationships that we develop. This is a supportive environment where the right staff can grow and develop as quickly as their ambitions will take them. Our team grabs the opportunities that we present to them to learn and develop and our clients thrive on working with an agency with a fantastic team environment.
We foster a positive team culture by making sure that we enjoy what we do and the clients we work with, and we never forgo the chance to bring fun into our day-to-day lives. We’re really competitive when we flip a pancake and play table tennis and we love to banter over a gin and pizza on our team nights away. Work-life balance is crucial to us, which is why we offer extended holiday allowance and the chance to work a 4-day week on the last week of the month. Flexible hours and hybrid working are available and for those with children, we would never want any team member to miss those special moments such as the school play or a sports match. All this takes place against a background of mutual respect between management and staff.
It's not all ping pong and doughnuts though, we deliver fantastic results for our clients and the only way we can achieve this is from hard work, passion and ambition. We know that digital marketing does not stand still, so we’re constantly learning and developing to make sure that we’re at the top of our game. We encourage our team to embrace feedback and failure equally, so they continually develop their business and social skills.
We’re looking for individuals with a growth mindset, willing to work hard and play hard, in exchange for a rewarding agency experience in a warm and welcoming team environment. A talented individual who is innovative, not afraid to experiment, passionate about your customer’s experience and all things Digital. If you’re looking for the chance to really show what you can do, we would love to see some examples of your best work.
You will be part of our Client Services Team, which works directly with our clients, building relationships and developing trust. You will help implement any agreed strategies and work alongside our delivery teams, to ensure that we consistently produce high quality work that meets clients’ expectations. Working across a range of client accounts, no two days will be the same and you will get to test your skills extensively across a variety of industries.
Wagada Digital is a values based, data driven growth agency. We don’t look to just meet our clients goals, we want to exceed them and are looking for individuals who share this vision.
