Reports to: Managing Director / Strategy Director

Department: Commercial Partnerships

Salary: £45k -£50k (dependent on experience)

About the Role

We’re looking for a Commercial Marketing Manager to lead the storytelling, positioning, and presence of Arcade Creative, our creator-first, creative solutions agency. This is a hands-on, strategic, and highly visible role for a self-starter who can drive how we show up in the world — shaping our narrative, building relationships, and ensuring our creator first, creative solutions brand is consistently part of the cultural and industry conversation.

You’ll own how we tell our story across Marketing, PR, thought leadership, and live events — making sure we’re not just attending the right rooms, but actively shaping them. From speaking opportunities and media engagement to curating our own moments that bring creators, brands, and industry leaders together, you’ll help define our public footprint and amplify the impact of our work.

We’re looking for someone entrepreneurial, connected, and creative — someone who thrives at the intersection of communications, culture, and community.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Storytelling: Develop and own the agency’s communications strategy — shaping how we present ourselves to the industry, media, and clients.
• PR & Media Relations: Build and manage relationships with key press, journalists, and thought leaders across marketing, creator, and culture publications.
• Industry Presence: Ensure the agency is represented and visible across key industry events, panels, and communities — identifying opportunities for participation, partnerships, and thought leadership.
• Event Planning & Execution: Lead the strategy, planning, and delivery of owned events — from intimate client dinners to large-scale creator and industry gatherings.
• Community Building: Cultivate meaningful relationships with clients, agencies, and creators that extend beyond campaigns and into long-term engagement.
• Thought Leadership: Develop speaking opportunities, award submissions, and content that reinforces the agency’s voice and expertise in creator-first thinking.
• Client & Agency Engagement: Leverage (or build) a strong network of brand and agency contacts to open doors, start conversations, and strengthen relationships.
• Measurement & Reporting: Track and evaluate PR coverage, event success, and engagement impact to continually refine approach.

About You

You’re a natural connector and communicator who can craft a compelling story, spark collaboration, and build influence. You thrive in creative, fast-paced environments and know how to make things happen — whether it’s securing a speaking slot, curating a thought-leadership event, or putting the right people in the same room.

You’ll have:

• 3–5 years’ experience in Marketing+ PR, events, or marketing communications (agency or brand-side).
• Proven experience managing industry presence, event strategy, or communications for a creative or innovation-focused business.
• Strong understanding of the marketing, creative, and/or creator industries.
• Existing network of media, brand, or agency contacts (e.g. WPP, Omnicom, Publicis Media)
• Exceptional organisational and relationship-building skills.
• A self-starting attitude with the ability to turn ideas into action and deliver with polish.
• A passion for storytelling, culture, and connecting ideas, brands, and people.

Why Join Us:

• Help shape the public voice of Arcade Creative and redefine brand and creator collaboration.
• Work in a dynamic, ambitious environment with industry-leading talent.
• Own it. Build a visible, meaningful brand presence through PR, partnerships, and standout events.
• Collaborate with some of the most innovative creatives, strategists, and brands shaping the future of social culture.
