We're a successful content creation agency that specialises in B2B thought leadership. Although we're small, most of our work comes from long-term relationships with multi-billion-dollar global companies. Non-disclosure agreements mean we can't publish their names, but you'll know at least some of the brands. We regularly come up against some of the biggest agencies in the world. And we regularly win.We're growing fast, but need more people-the right people-to keep that up.Right now we're writing a report on payment card security, publishing a series of papers on the evolution of the connected car, brainstorming concepts for the store of the future, and analysing primary research into how corporate treasurers are using KPIs. Every project is a chance to learn something new. Does that sound like the sort of thing you enjoy?

Are you our ideal candidate?

The person that we're looking for will have:
  • A thirst for knowledge. You find business and technology fascinating. When you're reading about self-driving vehicles you're making connections about what that means for logistics companies, retailers and insurers. We wouldn't expect you to explain how a data centre works, but you'll need to know what one does.
  • Great communication skills. You'll have first-hand contact with our clients, subject matter experts and the other marketing and research agencies that we work with. You should be able to hold your own in the meeting and turn the ideas discussed into lucid and engaging copy afterwards. We're sticklers for detail, but antiquated grammar rules are something up with which we will not put. Hate jargon? So do we.
  • Commitment and drive. We're successful and we're looking for somebody who's not just along for the ride. That Douglas Adams line about deadlines, not funny. Ok it is, but that sort of attitude won't cut it. Unless you've got his writing skills too. You'll get the support and development that you need to succeed, but we'll expect you to put in the effort.
And if you have experience working with data and dealing with clients then you've definitely got our attention.We don't expect you to know it all now. Convince us that you've got the right attitude and desire to get on and we'll consider you. But you must be able to demonstrate top-notch English skills, a good understanding of business, and be eager to learn more. That's a deal breaker.

What we offer in return

We offer a friendly working environment in Reading town centre, a competitive salary and all the usual perks, including a profit-related bonus-last year we paid up to 23% of salary.Most importantly, you'll be able to get your teeth into interesting projects and shape your own future.
