Account Manager, Influencer Marketing

About Us: 

RAVEN is a talent-first brand-building agency, working across the Fashion, Beauty, Arts & Entertainment industries. We believe we offer the best, most intuitive and interesting Communications service in London. We service brands, the media, and our industry collaborators with unique insight, passion and audience-first thinking. Our dynamic, hyper-connected team are forthright, funny and completely obsessed with contemporary culture. Ultimately, we unlock our partners’ potential to define ‘the now’. Our work, our roster, and our own agency identity are underscored by vibrancy, relevance, world-class storytelling and real cultural clout. We work with pioneers: brands and businesses who are redefining the industry landscape and dominating conversation on consumer behaviour, innovation and purpose. In turn - inspired by our partners’ change-making spirits - our ambition is to redefine the agency experience. RAVEN offers something special.

Our ‘heartland’ - the central disciplines at our agency - are Communications and Talent Marketing, closely collaborating to deliver clear visions for our brands. Whilst we do ‘the day job’ in media relations and talent strategy better than anyone, our true uniqueness as an agency partner lies within our ‘beyond comms’ capabilities - from Creative Direction to Digital Strategy, we’re able to bring fully-functioning, creative mar-comms solutions to our partners.

RAVEN is part of the Miroma Group - a collective of agencies spearheading a new-age communications model, operating in 35 markets. Clients across Miroma’s portfolio include Spotify, Amazon, The Walt Disney Company, eBay, Facebook and many, many more.
