WHO WE ARE:

Medialab is the UK’s leading independent media agency, and one of the fastest growing. We’re a media agency that’s made differently. Purpose-led, data-driven, founder-run and proudly independent.
Our independence means we can focus 100% on doing the right thing to secure success for our clients and our brilliant people. We work with a wide variety of clients including SunLife,Standard Life, Laithwaites Wine, EMMA, Save the Children, Mind, Guide Dogs, Alzheimer’s Society, RNLI and Clearscore.
We’re a diverse team of 150 people (and growing), based near Oxford Circus. Our people-first, purpose-driven culture has been key to our success. We commit to creating a more sustainable future through our partnership with FuturePlus, and foster a diverse and inclusive culture, though a number of DEI Communities to drive real change. We offer a supportive environment for working parents, carers, those who are (peri)menopausal and anyone else who needs it, and flexible working opportunities to all, from day one.
Our entrepreneurial spirit means success is rewarded and there are no limits to what you can achieve, which our employees agree with, by supporting our place in Campaign’s ‘Best Places to work’ for 4 years in a row, and we recently won Silver in Campaign’s Agency of the Year Awards.

We have been working with one of the accounts you will lead on for a year, and the other we have a long-standing relationship with. We manage their full media mix which includes TV, Video, Partnerships, Print, Audio, Display, Paid Social and PPC.
This role will focus on Social and Display but will offer exposure and upskilling across a range of different channels.
In addition, there will be the opportunity to get involved in new business, which is growing due to new client wins and growth within the current client set.
