Salary: £32k+ (dependent on experience)

You’re an Experiential Marketer who’s spent the past 4 years supporting with the end-to-end delivery of experiential activations that excite consumers and delight clients.

Whether you’re a Senior Experiential Account Executive looking to take the next step up the career ladder, or an Experiential Account Manager looking to use your skills on some new clients, BWP are interested in your application. Find out more…

Bespoke Personal Development Plans and the mentoring and support you need to pave your way to Senior Experiential Account Manager and beyond.
Hybrid working – everyone at the agency enjoys three days collaborating and building strong working relations with colleagues in our new Marlow town centre offices (Monday, Wednesday & Thursday) and two days working from anywhere.
Company bonus scheme (discretionary) – if BWP does well, so do you. Our Account Managers can receive up to 6% of annual salary as a bonus.
A culture of appreciation, reward, and recognition with monthly and quarterly awards and celebrations.
Company wellbeing programme including a free counselling service as needed.
A busy social calendar with regular company socials

What do Experiential Account Managers at BWP do:

Our Experiential Account Managers are responsible for the seamless project delivery and implementation of insight-driven, creative experiential activations that engage and excite clients and consumers alike. This includes:

Campaign project management – ensuring that no balls are dropped, all committed timings, budgets and deadlines are met, and the quality of activations is to a high standard.
Supplier and logistics management - maintaining our database of potential suppliers; researching, negotiating terms and costs, quoting, purchasing and booking everything needed to deliver our activations
Pre-event campaign delivery - working closely with internal marketing, creative and PR teams, as well as external suppliers, to find new ways to engage the target audience then develop and produce experiential marketing activations per the agreed strategic direction.
On the day campaign delivery – being a calm and supportive presence on activation day(s), training and working closely with external promotional staff and talent, to ensure the smooth running of activities and events.
Client management – being a key point of contact for your client, managing their expectations (rather than agreeing to unrealistic requests) and building strong, productive relationships with high levels of mutual trust and respect.

You’ll be managing and delivering smaller scale campaigns from end to end with minimal input from senior team members, as well as supporting our Experiential Account Director with large scale campaigns.

What do I need to showcase in my CV to stand out?

We're looking for a multi-skilled experiential marketer with 4+ years of similar agency experience. Experience delivering activations in the retail, fashion and/or lifestyle sectors will also stand you in good stead!

We’re looking for someone who:

Has hands-on experience of experiential marketing and has been taking the lead on small scale activations and events for clients
Is capable of producing client-worth work with little or no amends from an Account Director.
Isn’t afraid to challenge clients or briefs. Enjoys pushing boundaries and finding new, creative ways of doing things (embodying our value Brave).

Wholeheartedly loves Experiential Marketing. Works hard to deliver results and is enthusiastic about creating an environment where you, and your colleagues, thrive (embodying our value Passionate).
