Head of Campaign Strategy (UK)
We’re an equal opportunities employer. A diverse workforce is central to our success – the more ideas and perspectives on our table, the better our work, culture and enjoyment gets.
That’s why we have a Diversity, Equality & Inclusion group (DICE) made up of employees, who meet fortnightly to discuss issues and implement improvements to a range of topics including (but not limited to) race, disability, and LGBTQIA+ equality and rights, mental health, and so much more. Anyone can join and have their say.
We also support inclusive subjects such as time off for menopause, fertility treatment, child bereavement and miscarriage leave. We think it's important to give employees the confidence to ask for help and support on those subjects that can be tricky at times.
As part of our journey towards becoming more environmentally and socially conscious, we’ve partnered with One Tree Planted, the world’s tree-planting charity, to ensure that advertising to the Akero Student MarketPlace is part of the solution.
Akero is the only student advertising product that contributes to various sustainability projects across the world. And, as well as monitoring your campaigns through Akero, you’ll be able to track the projects you help support at any time within your live dashboards.
Your advertising will work towards restoring the Atlantic forest and endangered habitats in Brazil, improving livelihoods and ecosystems in Indonesia, rebuilding communities affected by the Australian 2019 wildfires and restoring critical habitat in Romania in the Carpathian mountains.
