I'm working exclusively with a highly regarded independent creative agency specialising in brand experience, experiential marketing and integrated campaigns. With an impressive international client portfolio, they're looking to appoint a Director of Business Development to accelerate their growth across Europe and wider EMEA markets. This is a great opportunity for a commercially minded individual with an established network of senior brand-side relationships and a strong understanding of the European agency landscape. You'll take ownership of the new business journey, from identifying opportunities and opening doors through to developing proposals, leading pitches and securing new client partnerships. Working closely with senior leadership and global teams, you'll play a key role in shaping the agency's European growth strategy. What we're looking for: 7+ years' experience in business development or new business leadership within an experiential, creative, marketing, advertising or PR agency. An established network of senior brand-side contacts across the UK and Europe. A proven track record of winning new business and generating agency revenue. Experience selling integrated solutions across brand experience, live events, campaigns, content and digital. Strong commercial acumen and confidence leading proposals, negotiations and senior-level pitches. Excellent relationship-building, communication and presentation skills. Experience across consumer, entertainment and lifestyle brands would be particularly valuable. If you're well connected, commercially driven and passionate about the creative industry, I'd love to hear from you.
