About the role
Strategy is a crucial element in any of our projects. Working with marketing teams in the public sector, education and established B2B organisations who are juggling multiple channels and communities, our role is to untangle their thinking and deliver clear-headed strategic guidance to help them achieve their business goals.

In this role you’ll be developing the campaign strategy – and bringing it to life through regular support sessions where you’ll share the latest digital trends and techniques and build valued partnerships with our clients.

Working alongside our Campaigns and Insights Manager and our talented team of copywriters, designers, animators and video producers, you’ll get to explore the data, develop engaging content, and do your very best work in a high-growth, award-winning digital marketing agency.

Key duties
• Develop and manage strategic marketing plans for world-class clients.

• Deliver monthly consultancy with in-house marketing teams, planning content and sharing your expertise to ensure the strategy is a success.

• Communicate progress, tracking and reporting on key account metrics.

• Manage digital and social media content, sometimes working with junior or freelance creatives to plan content and to maintain quality control.

• Be part of the sales process, always looking for ways in which our clients can benefit through additional content creation, strategy services and training.

• Contribute to Sookio’s marketing activity through blog posts and creative ideas.

This job will be perfect if you

• are always thinking about the ‘why’ when it comes to digital marketing, not just the what. And love shaping this into a clear framework for success.

• have a genuine interest in digital trends and best practice in web content and social media across any sector, channel or platform.

• can turn marketing jargon into clear advice that gets clients excited about the potential for strategic digital marketing which lead to solid results.

• enjoy nurturing relationships with clients so you become a trusted sounding board and develop creative marketing ideas together.

It is essential that you are

• a confident communicator with an excellent command of the English language in both spoken and written communication.

• organised. You’ll be setting KPIs, timelines and action plans across multiple projects, so you need to stay on top of tasks and the scope of work too.

• curious! Digital marketing is a fast changing world. You won’t have all the answers but you’ll be keen to dig into the data find them.
