The Agency
At Red Brick Road our agency mission is to create ‘Red Thread’ ideas that 'Fast Forward' brands. We love working with brands who are restless to keep moving and ambitious to accelerate their growth. Since launching in 2006 with Tesco as our founding client, we’ve provided advice and expertise to scale brands through marketing creativity and innovation. Today we work with a mixture of start-ups, scale-ups and established brands; what unifies them all is this desire to Fast Forward their brands.
Are you ready to become a ‘Roadie’ and Fast Forward your career with us?
We have a unique set of skills and services to help them, organised into five areas. Strategy & Consultancy is the sharp thinking that creates competitive advantage. Brand and Performance Marketing is where ground-breaking creative ideas are born, which accelerate brand awareness and drive sales. Our Brand Conversations team use owned and earned channels (PR, social and influencer) to build distinctive brands and brand voices. Brand Reimagination is where we create unique brand worlds that get noticed. And Customer Conversations is where we unleash our experts to create brand-building CRM. No other independent agency has this breadth and depth of capabilities, available to deploy at speed, agnostically, for clients. Our clients are both domestic and global, B2C and B2B. Key agency clients include Amazon, Hilton, Post Office, Skipton Building Society, Deezer and Hillarys.
Our agency culture is everything to us. We ask every Roadie to ‘Follow Your Head’ (innovate, problem-solve and use data and logic to inspire creative leaps), ‘Follow Your Heart’ (act with passion for our clients’ business, develop ideas which connect emotionally with consumers, and give-back to society), and ‘Follow Your Courage’ (be brave, be tenacious, and be entrepreneurial).
Campaign recently praised us for our Diversity, Equality & Inclusion strategy… the IPA chose one of our founders for this year’s ‘iList’… and Oystercatchers have named us a ‘Best Place to Work’. Our DE&I mission is to ensure that no person gets left behind, vowing to open doors and break down barriers and a 5-point action plan is ensuring this translates into meaningful action and industry influence. This includes all agency completing IPA training on DE&I. Learning & Development is also actively managed, with an all-agency ‘Well Red’ programme spearheading this constant focus. We are certified IPA Gold members, with training and development being at the heart of the agencies core values.
And we know how to go the extra mile on the social front too. We provide breakfast each day and come together every Thursday for lunch to catch up with each other and for agency news. We also throw a bi-monthly ‘Red Show’ company meeting and have rather fantastic summer and Christmas parties!
Roadies work from the office three days a week (Monday, Wednesday and Thursday with Support being at the office 5 days a week). We are also very open to all roles in the agency being part-time or job-share roles, so please do ask us about this if it would work for you.
