Posted 10 days 13 hours ago by Up World
We build experienced, dynamic, and fractional teams that fit in like puzzle pieces, providing just the right knowledge and energy at the right 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 performance and social media to 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've grown between 30% and 50% a year every year since launch in 2020. We have a strong reputation, brand awareness, and true product-market fit. When we explain what we do to a start-up Founder, they lament they haven't found us earlier. Now, we're reviewing our leadership team structure for Brand Hackers.

You'll play a critical role in ensuring we meet our ambitious revenue targets, but what sets this role apart is the passion and marketing expertise required to build genuine relationships with our clients. You'll thrive if you're motivated by meaningful partnerships, very organised and really understand what makes good marketing.
You'll be focused on closing deals and ensuring our pipeline is thriving.
