Hey! We're Brand Hackers
We help challenger brands fight smarter, think sharper, and win bigger.
We build experienced, dynamic and fractional teams that fit in like puzzle pieces – providing just the right knowledge and energy at the time. We’re not your typical agency or a one-man show; we're a team of passionate professionals who eat, sleep, and breathe branding and marketing.
Our diverse team of experts covers all marketing mix elements, from brand strategy and social media to performance and web development and beyond. With over 100 brands under our belt, our Brand Hackers have a treasure trove of shared experiences. This wealth of knowledge fuels our creativity and gives us the edge.
We’re 4 years old and have grown from just 2 of us to 20+ people with knock-out case studies we’re really proud of and a serious growing reputation (even if we say so ourselves).
Beyond FMCG, we're building iconic challenger brands across Beauty, Luxury, Film, and more working with big challengers like Tony’s Chocolonely and emerging hot startups like Seep. From customer insights and brand strategy to campaign planning and comms strategy, our team tackles a wide range of briefs.
We’re now looking for a Performance Marketing Manager to join the team. This role is instrumental to growing the DTC businesses of some really exciting brands within the startup world. As a Performance Marketing Manager within the Brand Hackers team, you’ll be a key part of helping our brands achieve outsized impact from a range of growth focused marketing activities.

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
