About Emperor

Emperor is for your great ambitions. We're an employee-owned corporate communications and creative agency with more than 240 partners specialising in reporting, brand, digital, employee engagement, change and sustainability.

We want to be the agency of choice for ambitious talent. So, we’re looking for brilliant people who actively want to create great things with us.

Our culture is one where you’re free to do, learn and achieve better. We welcome every partner to experience a sense of belonging; whoever you are, wherever you’re working from, whatever your role. Our values guide how we work every day, with each other, our clients, and suppliers. And with our friendly inclusive environment, effort and empathy, we make the feeling real.

The Role

In the London headquarters of the wider independent, employee-owned Emperor agency we have an impressive and diverse brand and employee engagement client portfolio – including Reckitt, BT, Lindt, Clarksons, NFU Mutual, Standard Life and Lloyds Banking Group. We have grown to almost £3m annual brand and employee engagement revenue, but there is huge, untapped potential for further growth. This is why we’re looking for a dynamic Head of Brand & Engagement who has the credibility, drive and experience to be a senior leader within the agency, reporting directly to the CEO.

The role requires credibility in terms of brand and engagement consulting expertise, particularly in our core domain of corporate and B2B brand development and activation, but it also requires strong commercial, practice leadership, business development and relationship-building skills, ensuring that more of our existing and potential client base buy in to our brand and engagement services.

We have a strong team of experienced brand and engagement consultants who need an inspiring leader to support individual and collective growth. 

Responsibilities:

•Accountability for the growth of the Brand & Engagement practice - developing, implementing and reporting on a strategic growth plan to the board.

•Creation of brand and engagement opportunities through networking, content development, marketing and new business activity – with the support of the specialist teams around you.

•Working closely with our director of client services and our community of client directors to find ways to expand more existing relationships into brand and engagement.

•Working with your peers in our specialist areas of expertise – Reporting, Sustainability, Digital and AI to develop innovative new insights, services and solutions that ensure that our integrated, multi-disciplinary offer stays relevant and attractive to clients and prospects.

•A portion of your time dedicated to working directly with major clients as a senior specialist consultant where appropriate to deliver brilliant solutions and sustained client growth.

•Building productive relationships with our extensive network of referrer agencies, particularly PR agencies.

•Leadership of our team of specialist team of consultants.
