Junior Social Media Executive

Overview

Our client is a London-based food innovator dedicated to revolutionising the UK snacking landscape. Operating with a start-up’s agility and a commitment to transparency, the company moves away from clinical health marketing in favour of bold, globally inspired flavours and accessible quality.

As the client’s signature food product continues to scale rapidly into major retailers such as the Co-op and various independent health stores, the Social Media Executive will lead the brand’s digital evolution. This role involves managing a high-energy, “sticky” brand personality that is unapologetically fun and visually striking. With a core focus on sustainability through home-compostable and recyclable packaging, the brand offers a rich foundation for a creative storyteller to build a loyal community around the idea that healthy snacking should be the most exciting part of the day.
