Marketing Manager/Director

Marketing Manager/Director, Marlow

In a nutshell

We are on a mission to revolutionise B2B creative. And by that we mean rip the roof right off and breathe feeling, strategy and distinctiveness into every design.

Where some see B2B as the “land of the bland”, we see opportunity, thriving in the most complex of business challenges to create memorable, emotive designs that break through, move the needle and build indelible brands.

It’s a truly exciting time to be at fst and in the world of B2B marketing. We are looking for an experienced, motivated, and passionate Marketing Manager/Director to join us on our journey, helping us share our passion, grow and make our mark in B2B.

Who Are We?

fst is an international, strategy-led design agency with offices in the UK, Singapore and Miami. Born out of entrepreneurial spirit back in 1991, our independence keeps us inquisitive and enables us to solve business problems to build the brands of the future. Through the long history of fst, we’ve worked with clients all over the world and it’s our goal to ensure we deliver solutions that work for them. We are passionate about nurturing a culture that is inclusive, supportive and great fun. We are proud to have an array of fantastic benefits in place to help people be the happiest and best they can be at work.

Why Do We Exist?

To challenge, change and make better. This is our fundamental belief that we apply to everything we do. So, whilst we help solve business problems, we also give our people opportunities and a home to build a successful career. Our reasons for existence are completely synonymous – we believe the latter will always drive the former.

You will work with fst’s Partners and senior management team to build a clear pipeline of marketing initiatives that will help us get there. The role is UK based but you will liaise with our General Managers in Singapore and Miami to ensure that we have a truly global approach to our marketing strategy.
