Feel free to include any web links or attachments and put ‘We’re hiring’ in the subject field.
Digital Strategy Consulting was established in 2000 and is an equal opportunity employer.
Here's a quick summary...
Our clients need high level thinking and fast implementation. We focus on getting the right strategy for their products, websites, online commerce ventures and digital marketing. We do it fast, and with almost all our energy (and their budget) going into the project team. We structured the business to have low overheads, and for us to be very hands on - that means our clients get the senior consultant's time and energy from the start.
]]> The approach means normally working in teams of 4: the project director (and lead consultant), a research manager, project manager and a support consultant. We keep the teams light and the focus is on our lead consultants to develop the ideas and thinking as well as turning this into language that shows the client-side team what to do and how to do it. We're big on knowledge transfer and the aim of each client project is that their team should be able to deliver without our input. The central team provide all the back office support you'll need, along with access to other consultants and specialists to help develop ideas further.We’re looking for a smart, high energy junior account manager to join our team at the Digital Strategy Consulting Group in Soho. You’ll be experienced in digital marketing with relevant account management experience from an agency environment and as some of the work will include simple project management, experience in this would be a benefit]]>
You’ll be a great communicator with excellent written English, as well as a disciplined approach to your work and the ability to manage your time efficiently.
Although this is a non-technical role, you’ll be comfortable posting on blogs or managing mailings to clients. Some experience in project management is needed, but only at entry level rather than PRINCE 2 or similar qualifications.
You’ll be handling day to day relationships with blue-chip clients in the UK and Europe, managing the communications around projects such as the development of their next generation of digital strategies or their online and mobile services development. Sector experience in personal finance, FMCG, pharmaceuticals, media would be useful, though not essential. Some of your work could include the management of training projects at the Digital Training Academy so previous experience of training could be useful, though not essential.
Working in small teams you’ll be a good team player and keen to support colleagues beyond the core of your remit. You’ll be London based but flexible to travel if needed.
Academically you’ll be a graduate with a good degree and good A-Levels. Marketing qualifications are not essential but would be an advantage.
The role is 3 month contract with a view to permanent placement.
If this sounds like you, then email JoinTheTeam@DigitalStrategyConsulting.com

]]>We have four places for interns to help out on various projects. You'll be based here at Digital’s office in Soho and working flexible hours. Placements are for a minimum of 12 weeks and involve assisting key members of our central team of 10. The internships cover general office administration support as well as sitting in on some of our Digital Training Academy classes if they are running. We aim to adjust the internships to meet the interests of our interns, so whether you're a budding web designer, a marketer in training, or simply looking for business experience in a stimulating environment, then get in touch.
]]>
Rates and duration
Intern placements are normally 3-9 months, but we can be flexible for the right candidate. The working hours are based on a reduced week of 10am-4pm. For internships we offer a contribution of £20 a day to your expenses, plus Starbucks runs and an often unhealthy supply of chocolate.
• Office Management Internship
You’ll be assisting in the general administration of our company, gaining experience in finance, processes and general office management. We’re a small team in the main office, but highly efficient in the way we work. Most of our team will be on projects and working with clients directly so the support group here at Digital are vital in making that process smooth and easy.
• Research Internship
You’ll be working with our email publisher and materials manager, googling up material for research and preparing copy, data and charts for the websites and our training courses.
• Project Management Internship
Managing projects like the delivery of our strategies or training courses involves connecting together the teams, clients and third parties in ways that are efficient and clear. You’ll be playing a role on several key projects to collate documentation, research the client’s needs and get materials from our team into a final format for publication. This could include PowerPoint slides, Word documents, Insight Reports or the results of surveys we run as part of client projects. You’ll be working for our project managers.
• Marketing Internship
This is an additional intern role available this year for an intern to help with marketing and planning for special projects. We’ll offer this position to interns who have experience in marketing or a media degree and are ready for greater challenges. You’ll report to the senior directors and have more client-facing activities as part of this work.
For internships we’re looking for bright people with an open and enthusiastic personality who are keen to learn more about digital marketing but already have a real interest in using the internet. You’ll need to be a good self-starter and have energy and enthusiasm. International languages can be useful because we work in around 20 countries.
You probably don’t take yourself too seriously, but you can be really focussed and determined when the team need your help. You’ll be passionate about the internet, happy to roll up your sleeves up and get stuck in, and comfortable working in an informal and often hectic environment.
To apply send your CV and covering letter explaining why you are interested in joining us to:
]]>The breadth of digital marketing disciplines and topics means there are always new training courses for us to develop and new examples of best practice our clients want to hear about. We're looking for an additional materials developer to join the team and build additional material for our courses. You'll be an experienced marketer with the ability to translate examples from the marketing industry into best practice case studies in text or slides. You will have the insights that let you critically evaluate marketing campaigns to focus on what has, or has not worked. The role includes producing materials under the direction of our management team and can accommodate part time or freelance relationships, as well as short term contracts. Ideally you will be based in London.
