Senior Account Director
Do you have 6+ yrs social exp within an agency, know how to build strategies that deliver engagement and impact and know organic inside and out. If so, we would love to hear from you.
23...WHO?
23red is a purpose-driven creative agency. We develop brands and campaigns that change behaviour for the better and have a positive impact on people’s lives.
Whether it’s tackling climate change, fighting inequality or driving blood donations, we take pride in developing brands and campaigns that make a real difference to society.
We are experts in crafting creative campaigns that cut through and engage, delivering them through paid, owned and earned channels, frequently working through the trusted voices of media, partners, or influencers.
Our people are motivated by the impact of our work, and we have clear values, each underpinned by a set of behaviours: Collaborative, Curious, Creative, Clever and Caring.
We’re part of Capgemini Invent globally, aligned to Frog in the United Kingdom – and whilst we operate as a separate brand, we have the benefit of being part of a network.

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
We are committed at 23red to creating a team that represents the rich diversity of society, and we strive to create a working environment that ensures everyone can be heard and valued for their contributions. We welcome all applications, especially those from individuals who are underrepresented in our industry. This includes people from ethnic minorities, LGBTQI+ people, individuals with disabilities (both seen and unseen) and people of any age and class.
In considering candidates, we look for culture add rather than culture fit – we do not seek to create a homogenous culture and value the diversity of perspectives the team bring to the table.

- Curious - as Lewis Carroll put it "we love jumping down rabbit holes and are quite often so much surprised that for the moment we quite forget how to speak good English."
- Creative - again Lewis Carroll's Alice says it best: "Why, sometimes I've beileved as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
- Caring - we are a people business, and we look after our people.
