As Jaywing enters a period of growth, we are looking to recruit in a variety of areas.
We have two roles available currently: Senior Strategist - Brand Communications; and Senior Media Planner. Both are ideal roles for anyone looking to advance their careers at one of the largest marketing agencies outside of London.
About Us
25 years ago, we started as one of the UK’s first specialist data science businesses. Today we’re one of the leading integrated marketing agencies outside London. A genuine Northern success story (that now has an office in Sydney). And one that’s succeeded not by bolting data onto what we do, but by having it as our starting point.
By plugging our creatives, strategists and media specialists into data-driven insight we help them get the most compelling ideas in front of the right audience. Which all adds up to outstanding results for our clients.
We’re powered by our people and the partnerships we have with our amazing clients and brands.
We number over 250 creatives, developers, strategists, data scientists, media specialists and more across offices in Sheffield, Leeds, Sydney and Melbourne. A unique blend of talents collaborating as one to create powerful stories and compelling results for our clients.
With a strong commitment to effectiveness, we are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Media Planner to join our team. The ideal candidate will be a strategic thinker with a proven track record of developing comprehensive media plans, particularly in digital channels, and possess a keen understanding of effective measurement techniques that help our clients fully understand the impact of their marketing efforts.
