With over £100M+ in annual ad spend under management and a team of 130+, we partner with ambitious 7-9 figure DTC and eCommerce brands, with Meta as our primary growth channel, alongside TikTok and Google.
Our capabilities include:
- Performance Media - Full-funnel paid media and growth strategy across Meta, Google, and TikTok, with Meta as our primary growth channel.

The Opportunity
Most "agency" growth roles ask you to manage accounts. This one asks you to consult on businesses.
We're hiring a Senior Growth Strategist to act as a trusted external growth consultant to a small portfolio of ambitious, high-growth eCommerce brands. You'll operate the way an independent consultant would - brought in close to founders and leadership teams, diagnosing the business from first principles, and setting the growth agenda - but backed by the infrastructure of a 130+ person agency group managing £100M+ in annual ad spend across Meta, TikTok and Google.
This is a deliberate move away from a traditional client-servicing model. You won't be reporting metrics upward through an account structure - you'll bring the outside perspective, cross-portfolio pattern recognition, and commercial rigour of a consultant, then translate it into a growth agenda the brand's own leadership trusts and acts on. Because you're advising across several high-calibre brands rather than sitting inside just one, you'll see what's working across categories faster than any single in-house hire could - and bring that insight to every conversation.
The Brands You'll Be Trusted With:
This is one of the most sought-after seats in the business, and the portfolio reflects that. You'll take ownership of a small number of premium, high-growth eCommerce brands - the kind of businesses where growth strategy sits at board level, not campaign level. For confidentiality we won't name specific accounts ahead of interview, but the following reflect the calibre and scale you'll be operating at, drawn from our public case study portfolio:
- A heritage, premium beauty & personal care brand
Brand-equity led, multi-channel, retail-adjacent - where the challenge is scaling acquisition without eroding premium perception. Recent portfolio outcomes at this level: +71% YoY net revenue, +31% YoY new customer revenue, +17% AOV uplift through peak trading.
