After starting with Lesniak Swann as an apprentice over 10 years ago, I’ve been able to develop my skills and really progress – firstly to Account Executive, then Account Manager, and now Senior Account Manager. With the agency’s support I gained a City & Guilds CIM Diploma and Mark Ritson’s Mini MBA in Marketing, and completed other training courses, too. I’ve also worked across some of Lesniak Swann’s major accounts, including Polypipe and Michelin. I love the diversity of projects we work on.

I’ve worked at Lesniak Swann for nearly seven years, and I’ve learned a huge amount in that time. I enjoy the fact that we get to challenge ourselves creatively. It’s great to work in an agency that not only cares about your career growth, but also your personal wellbeing. They’ve supported me with moving into management, and I now get to support the next generation of designers.

Senior Campaign Manager

I started out in Client Services before taking the leap across the agency into the Performance team. My role involves identifying ways to tackle campaign challenges, and translating raw data from marketing activity into something that clients – and my colleagues – can gain insights from. I love the Lesniak Swann approach of working closely with clients to get the very best outcome for them.

Head of Content

I’m very into the agency's ethos of only letting strong, original work out the door. There’s no rehashing of tired old ideas, or fobbing off clients with lazy cut-and-paste jobs. The senior management team also recognise that good ideas can come from anywhere – any department, any level of seniority. Which means you’re always encouraged to pipe up if inspiration suddenly strikes.

PR Account Manager

Coming from a background in journalism I was a bit sceptical about joining a PR agency, and the ‘hard sell’ image that goes along with it. But Lesniak Swann couldn’t be further from that. The clients we work with, and the industries that they operate in, are all high-calibre, and genuinely interesting. It’s been refreshing to be able to write topical content that genuinely matters – and to help people who feel passionately about the work they do reach the right audience. This is backed by a great culture within the agency itself.

No vacancies right now, but…

Don’t despair: we’re constantly growing, so new roles open up all the time. Please share your CV with us – we will read it and keep it on file.
