We are looking for a unique individual who is passionate about social and content marketing to join our leadership team. Your mission will be to build and grow an exceptional team of marketing and social enthusiasts who are passionate about helping our customers to grow their brand online.
Who Are You?
You are a social media geek – an enthusiast known to bore their friends in the pub talking about the latest social media platform or app.
You work and think on a strategic level and have a thorough understanding, and direct experience of, campaign planning and execution across the marketing mix – paid, earned and owned media.
You have proven ability and a passion to lead and drive a team of exceptional people, working with them to come up with creative and unique ideas to help our clients grow their brand.
Your heart starts racing when you come up with creative ideas and solutions that you know will take your client’s business to the next level.
You love digital marketing and have a full understanding of how to run and manage all key marketing functions.
You want to be surrounded by like-minded people who love what they do and are passionate about learning and developing new ideas just as much as you.
You know that you don’t have all the answers but know that it’s easy find them.
Who Are We?
First 10 Digital is a brand and content marketing agency – we believe that focussed consumer engagement, supported through paid, earned and owned media is a more effective way to build a brand and grow a business than the traditional top down marketing approach.

If you take out the agency bullshit… we help our clients become useful, entertaining or inspiring to current and potential consumers.
How do we do this? We integrate ourselves fully into the client’s brand and business, understand or co-create the strategic plans, unravel the brand stories, and then plan the content, creative, campaigns and platforms necessary to create and build brand value and earn the permission necessary to effect revenues.
We work with a number of global brands including PUMA, Emirates, Royal Canin, IHG, Tilda Rice and Joey Barton as well as a growing number of SME consumer brands.
