Our vision is for Aura Ads, and the wider Consumed Group, to be a vehicle for our team to achieve what they want to achieve: personal & professional. We’ll support them (you!) in whatever that might be and recognise that it’s our job as an employer to give our team every opportunity to make their goals a reality. We want to continue building an amazing place to work. A place where you can be yourself, do your best, and ultimately grow as both a person and a colleague. We do this through a supportive culture, flexible working, perks and continuous commitment to learning and development. See more on this below. Part of becoming a great place to work is that we’re committed to including people of all backgrounds and experiences. That includes race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, age, political affiliation, family or parental status. We want to hear from you! WHY IS THIS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY? (why we’re even hiring) Over the past seven years, we’ve grown in size and reputation extremely quickly by hiring talented people who truly care about getting results for the businesses we partner with, then providing them with the tools, support and training they need to excel. We’re a fast growing team of 50+ that packs a punch, currently on pace to grow +30% again within the next 12 months. We’re looking for someone who wants to join a quickly growing, well organised people-first business at an incredibly exciting and pivotal time of growth, whilst accelerating their own career. This is a rare opportunity to join a fast growing company - without all the pitfalls of typical ‘startups’ - and personally impact the growth of businesses that are making a real difference. OUR CLIENTS 99% of our clients are direct to consumer eCommerce brands and typically fall somewhere into the below categories: Fashion, apparel, jewellery FMCG Plants, greetings & misc. gifts Sports & fitness Subscriptions Many are leading global brands. Some are bootstrapped, founder owned & run. They all trust us to significantly impact their growth through performance creative.. Importantly, we ensure every client we sign is thoroughly vetted before we even offer to take them on. It’s important to us to grow the right way, with clients who we genuinely want to work with. Here’s our criteria: They’ve got to pass the “lunch test”. They’ve got to be genuine, friendly people to work with. Would we want to hang out or go and have lunch with them? Great relationships breed great work, and we want to give you a supportive environment to work and grow in, not clients who are unreasonable. They’ve got to have a product(s) and brand we can get excited about as a team. Nothing worse than working on a brand you don’t believe in. They’ve got to want to be led and challenged creatively. We partner with businesses to help them think differently, grow faster, and build lasting brand value. If they fit this criteria and we want to work together, then we’ll go ahead, but only if we’re sure it will be a strong partnership and only if we’re confident we have the capacity and resource in the team to make it happen. Just some of our clients (Paid Social, Google Search, Creative, Data Science): Antler Pangaia Smalls HelloFresh My Sunday Ski Pom Pom London ...amongst others OUR TEAM We’ve gone against the typical agency model and hired an extremely senior team first.

They concept, brief and analyse creative to continue fuelling ad account growth.

Driven by the data that our wider team specialises in, this content will be optimised for peak ad-performance. Motion-design is a requirement, but you should also be comfortable with still imagery and more native-feeling social content too.
