Description

ABOUT US
The Marketing Store is a global customer engagement agency. We bring people and brands closer together.
Operating as a creative agency, strategic consultancy and a technology provider, we engage with over 110 million customers every single day for clients including McDonald’s, adidas, Vue and O2.
Our close community of creators, thinkers, inventors and doers are committed to breaking down silos, challenging the status quo and producing purposeful, award-winning work.
OUR PEOPLE
We don’t see The Marketing Store as an agency, we see it as a diverse family of amazing people who come together to make great things happen.
So that’s how we treat them.
Our focus is and always has been on ensuring that our people ‘leave changed.’ That means investing heavily in providing them with the tools, training and freedom to grow both personally and professionally. It also means respecting that we are all different, with different needs; acknowledging the pressures of city living, parenting, prejudice; and understanding that our employees’ futures are as important as their nows.
Our people thank us not only in the incredible work they do for our clients, but in consistently voting us as a top place to work in Campaign magazine.
WHY WE THINK YOU WILL LOVE THIS ROLE
Riding high on a successful 2019, we are excited to be in a position to bring on a junior team to further help bolster our creative department.
With the support of an incredible midweight and senior team, plus ongoing mentoring and management from senior leadership, this role offers a great opportunity for an aspiring Copywriter and Art Director duo to get stuck into our biggest client, McDonald’s, and a range of other exciting brands.
If you are looking for meaty projects, plus the opportunity to partner with award-winning creatives, this team opportunity will give you the breath to develop your skills and much more!
Finally, we guarantee that you will leave changed. Because we help our people achieve their goals.
So come here to experience. To experiment. To make mistakes. To challenge your own limits.
