Be a part of our growth story. Make your mark.

"Help us cope - because Crumbs! We are super busy"

About Us

We're a small but fiercely independent marketing agency based in North Hampshire (RG27).

The agency is growing-fast. After more than doubling revenue last year, we're set to do it again in 2025. We specialise in B2B marketing, with a strong focus on technology businesses, but we also love working with other industries.

We unlock the business value of relationships with customer case studies and harness the power of ideas through thought leadership content. We have a mixture of retainer and project clients. We write a lot and amplify content across digital platforms.

But we're not a digital agency-we're a marketing agency that thinks both traditionally and digitally.

Our clients stick with us for years (one for over 14 years!) because we deliver no matter what.

We have a virtual team that consists of two full-time marketers, some part-time team members, and numerous freelancers and partners. We are also recruiting for a copywriter.

About You

You're an experienced marketing pro who has worked in marketing agencies, so you get the sheer variety and intensity that comes with it. You're highly organised, proactive, and always thinking three steps ahead.

You love getting things done, managing projects, and being the go-to for smart advice. You're someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-energy environment-and yes, you love a good spreadsheet.

Perhaps you are in a small agency but it's not giving you room to grow. Or perhaps you've previously held a senior role but have had a career break, and are ready to jump back in.

You'll fit right in if you have:

Solid agency experience -in-house experience is nice, but agency life is a whole different ballgame.

Are business-savvy, curious about what makes companies tick and grow.

Can confidently engage with tech companies, without needing to be a technologist.

Are excited by the buzz of getting results - and know that this can be challenging with smaller brands like many of our clients!

Are comfortable working across traditional and digital marketing channels.

Are ready to jump in, collaborate, and help shape the future of our agency.

Can handle direct, no-nonsense communication-we're a straight-talking agency, and we value that.

Enjoy a good laugh-humour is part of who we are!

You definitely WON'T fit in if you are:

a manager/strategist/leader who just loves to be 'hands on' sometimes

a "senior" person who only wants to drive, rather than get down and dirty

a "digital marketer" who has little interest in/knowledge of other aspects of marketing

someone secretly wanting to work with a big brand, or big agency with big clients

The Role

As our Senior Marketing Manager, you'll work closely with our founder and managing director, supporting all client accounts initially. Over time, you'll take the lead on select accounts, managing relationships and driving results. You'll be the safe pair of hands we need to take things off the MD's plate while adding your own value.

Typical day-to-day tasks might include:

Managing client relationships

Being the point of contact and providing expert advice and answers to questions.

Project management-moving things forward and ensuring deadlines are hit.

Keeping our project management tool (ClickUp) tidy and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.

Overseeing our offshore account executive, ensuring quality and consistency.

Writing - even though we're also recruiting a copywriter, there are always more things to be written - like copy for a web page, or a blog.

Content planning and coordination, reviewing and approving materials before they go out.

Collaborating with our designers, copywriters, and SEO partners to produce killer campaigns.

Event planning, webinar coordination, and pulling together marketing plans.

Contributing ideas to new business proposals and brainstorming with the MD.

The Essentials: You Must Have

Full driving licence and your own transport-while we're a remote-first team, you'll need to attend client meetings, business expos, and conferences.

Live within striking distance (an hour or so) of our base in RG27 postcode, and be able to reach meetings with clients along the Thames Valley when required.

Be ready to work full time, Monday to Friday.

Be comfortable working in a PC-based environment-we use Office365, Teams, ClickUp, Canva, and Adobe Creative Suite among others. You don't have to know them all, but be happy to learn new tools if not.

Have experience with website CMS (mainly WordPress) and basic SEO knowledge.

Why Join Us?

We're growing. Fast. But we're doing it with intention and focus. This role has no rigid career path, but for the right person, it's an opportunity to become a key part of our agency's future. If you're ready to take ownership, grow with us, and help build something meaningful-this is your chance.

We're about:

Honest responses We tell it like it is, even when it's tough.

Deep knowledge - We get under the skin of our clients and their markets.

Delivery, no matter what - We do what it takes to get results.

Humour, always - Because work should be fun (and sometimes a little silly inappropriate).

Respect for others - Clients, colleagues, and partners alike.
