Your marketing team tell the story of your business. Having the right people in the right places will drive growth whilst elevating your brand. We are fully immersed in the marketing sector across Scotland, partnering with top employers across all industry sectors as they look to hire the very best talent in the market.
We understand what your business needs from the marketing function, our relationship driven approach helps us to connect you with your perfect hire.
We recruit across a broad range of marketing disciplines: from Traditional and Digital Marketing to Growth and Lead Generation, Communications, Ecommerce and Agency hires. Whether you're looking for a brand strategist, a performance marketer, or a communications specialist, we have the network and the know-how to find the right fit.
According to the Chartered Institute of Marketing's European Marketing Agenda 2026 report, 78% of CMOs expect marketing budgets to remain stable or grow in 2026, budget isn't the bottleneck. Businesses lack the cross-functional AI and digital knowhow needed to deploy resources effectively, with AI now the single biggest strategic focus for marketing teams heading into 2026.
Separate CIM/YouGov research found 19% of marketing professionals at large businesses expect their company to reduce headcount in favour of automation, but this is landing unevenly. Senior leadership roles such as CMOs and marketing directors are expected to be less affected, with the greatest impact felt at entry-level, where routine tasks are easiest to automate. In other words: budgets are there, but the bar for who gets hired and at what level, is rising.
For employers, that means the right hire matters more than ever. For candidates, it means proving the judgement, creativity and commercial thinking that AI can't replicate.
We recruit across the full marketing spectrum:
From first-job to boardroom, we cover the full career ladder: Marketing Executive and Coordinator roles through to Marketing Manager, Head of Marketing, Marketing Director and CMO-level appointments. That range matters: it means we understand what "good" looks like at every stage of a marketing career, not just at one level.
Marketing is a discipline where CV keywords rarely tell the full story. The right hire is as much about commercial judgement and cultural fit as it is about channel expertise. We take the time to understand your brand, your audience and your growth targets before we go to market, so every candidate we put forward is one you'd actually want to meet.
Whether you need one Wrap-Around hire, an Exclusive Search for a business-critical role, or RPO support to scale a whole marketing function, we flex to how you want to work.
