We believe in building a great place to work and an environment where we do our best work for clients. We feel passionate about building a great atmosphere for our staff and believe in good work/life balance.

There is plenty of opportunity for progression, the next natural step being a Senior SEO Consultant, but we also give you plenty of opportunities to define your own career path based on what you enjoy and playing to your strengths.
What you’ll get
Culture is very, very important to us. So much so that we have published our culture code online so that you can see exactly what it means to us. We’d highly recommend that you take a look so that you can see what we offer and how we’re different from other agencies.
We also do a lot for your development, here are just a few of them:
- Regular personal development and concrete plans on how you can progress and grow within the company
- An annual training and technology budget to use as you see fit
- Unlimited, free books and audiobooks to help you learn and develop
- Opportunities to speak at industry events and our own MKGO event
- Mental health coaching and support thanks to our partnership with Sanctus
- Up to two days a year to use for volunteering days with charities
As you’ll see below, we offer some great perks and benefits, but it’s our culture which we believe truly makes us stand out. Any old agency can offer great perks, but they become normal very quickly. A great culture will push you and improve you for years to come. Take out the perks, and a great culture will still remain.
We offer a bunch of great perks too.
We love to look after our team and invest as much as we can in giving them everything they need to do a great job. Whilst perks aren’t everything, we do offer a lot to our team including:
- A new shiny MacBook
- A big second screen
- Team lunch at Nandos on your first day (and random days after that!)
- Unlimited (yes, unlimited) paid annual leave once you pass probation
- Your birthday off
- Endless supply of tea, coffee and biscuits
- An £800 annual training and technology budget you can spend how you please, including improving your working from home setup
- Regular personal development and concrete plans on how you can progress and grow within the company

- Private Medical Insurance
- Generous maternity, paternity and adoption leave and pay
- Free books related to your development
- Opportunities to speak at industry events and our own MKGO event
- Mental health in the workplace support thanks to our partnership with Sanctus
The salary range for this role is £28,000 – £35,000 dependent on experience.
