Root Fifty-Two is looking for a Marketing Executive to support the day-to-day delivery of marketing activity across a range of retained client accounts.
This role is suited to someone in the early stages of their marketing career who wants to gain broader agency experience across content, social media, email, websites, SEO support, reporting and campaign coordination.
You will work closely with the Senior Marketing Executive, Head of Marketing, Account Leads and wider delivery team to help keep marketing activity organised, accurate and moving forward.

You will support the team with practical delivery tasks, helping prepare content, organise campaign activity, update marketing materials, support reporting and contribute to the smooth running of retained client work.
