Account Manager - Sponsorship & Brand Activation

Account Manager - Sponsorship & Brand Activation

Location: Central London (Hybrid - 3 days in office)

Salary: £40,000 - £45,000

The Company

An independent, fast-growing, award-winning sports marketing agency operating at the heart of sponsorship, brand activation and culture.

In just five years, they've gone from ambitious start-up to a significant industry player - picking up major agency awards along the way and building a client roster that spans challenger brands and household names across sport, entertainment and beyond.

They're independent, values-driven and the momentum is only building. A recent run of new client wins and high-profile campaign work is driving real growth and they're now scaling their team to keep pace with demand.

The culture is one they're genuinely proud of - recently recognised as one of the top places to work in the industry - built on personal growth, creative ambition and a team that's all in together.

The Role

This is an Account Manager role for someone who lives and breathes sponsorship activation - and who's as comfortable crafting a sharp campaign idea as they are delivering it brilliantly.

You'll take ownership of a portfolio of accounts, leading day-to-day client relationships and driving the development and delivery of integrated brand activation programmes across sport, entertainment and culture. That spans live events, content, influencer, digital and more.

This isn't a project management role - we want someone who thinks ahead, contributes ideas and executes them with craft and confidence. Someone who can hold a room with a client and then roll their sleeves up to make it happen.
