📍 London (Hybrid) 🏢 Top Experiential / Brand Experience Agency

The Role

Account Director - (Events / Experiential) (£55k)

We're hiring an Account Director to join a leading experiential agency in London, following an internal team change. This is a senior, hands‑on role focused on delivering standout live brand experiences for some seriously exciting clients.

You’ll lead end‑to‑end experiential activations – from concept to execution – across events, pop‑ups, nightlife takeovers, stunts, and large‑scale cultural moments. The role involves owning senior client relationships and working closely with Marketing Directors and Senior Brand stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the planning, delivery, and execution of experiential and live activations
  • Act as the senior client contact, building trusted relationships with Marketing Directors and Brand Leads
  • Oversee campaigns across events, pop‑ups, nightlife activations, and large‑scale brand stunts
  • Manage internal teams and external partners including creatives, production, suppliers, and talent
  • Own budgets, timelines, and delivery to ensure high‑quality execution
  • Identify opportunities to grow accounts and upsell experiential solutions
  • Ensure all activations are delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest standard

Clients & Work

You'll work on well‑known, culture‑led brands including WKD, BrightClaw, Jägermeister, and MXD, delivering activations such as:

  • Large‑scale live events
  • Nightclub takeovers
  • Creative stunts (e.g. a sleigh driven around central London)
  • Pop‑ups and immersive brand experiences

About You

  • Proven experience as an Account Director or Senior Account Manager within an experiential, events, or brand experience agency
  • Strong background delivering live activations and experiential campaigns end‑to‑end
  • Confident managing senior clients and stakeholders
  • Experience working with alcohol, FMCG, lifestyle, or culture‑led brands is highly desirable
  • Organised, calm under pressure, and comfortable managing multiple live projects
  • A collaborative leader who enjoys being hands‑on with delivery

What's On Offer

  • Opportunity to work at a top‑tier experiential agency
  • High‑profile, creative, and culturally relevant campaigns
  • Supportive, fast‑paced agency environment
  • Hybrid working (London‑based)
  • Competitive salary + benefits

If you're passionate about bringing brands to life in the real world and want to work on bold, memorable experiences, we'd love to hear from you.
