About Marketing Labs

Marketing Labs is an established and experienced digital marketing agency based in Retford, Nottinghamshire. We’re experts in SEO, PPC and website design.

We wouldn’t be where we are today without our amazing team. We love what we do, and we thrive off great relationships. These relationships, and the love of our craft, enable us to make a real impact on our clients’ businesses.

Our clients

At Marketing Labs, we pride ourselves on our diverse portfolio of clients spanning across a wide spectrum of industries. From tech startups to established healthcare providers, we work with clients who have unique needs and demands.

As a small but dynamic agency, our strength lies in our adaptability and versatility. We thrive on the challenge of tailoring our services to meet the specific requirements of each client, ensuring that we provide tailored solutions that drive success in any industry.

What we’re looking for

We’re on the lookout for a creative, self-motivated social and content executive to join our award-winning agency.

Ideally, the perfect candidate will have at least two years of hands-on experience in a similar role within a digital marketing agency, although in-house experience is also useful.

You’ll need to be confident on the phone and in meetings and have the ability to carry out a wide range of content and social media marketing tasks with strong attention to detail. You must be able to communicate effectively with clients and the rest of the team. A proactive and ‘can-do’ attitude with the ability to multitask and manage your own time will be essential. We don’t believe in micro-managing, but with the incredibly experienced team here, we’ll provide as much support as needed – being a small agency, the potential for self-development and job-role development is huge long-term for the right candidate.
