About Us

Marketing Recruitment from Brand Recruitment

Brand Recruitment has specialised in marketing recruitment since 2005 and is here to help you with any marketing, PR, product or digital recruitment plans.

Building brilliant marketing teams since 2005

Marketing recruitment has changed a lot since we opened our doors over twenty years ago.

What hasn’t changed is our belief that great recruitment starts with understanding people. That’s why we take the time to get to know the businesses we work with, the challenges they’re facing and the kind of talent that will genuinely make a difference.

We are specialists in marketing, digital, PR and communications recruitment, helping organisations across the UK hire exceptional talent from entry level through to leadership positions.

We are not a “spray and pray” volume recruiter and we are not interested in being just another name on a supplier list. We work best when we’re able to build genuine partnerships, provide honest advice and become an extension of the businesses we support.

Whether you’re making a key hire, building a team or simply exploring your options, we’re here to offer market insight, practical guidance and a recruitment process built around quality rather than quantity.

Who we work with

Many of our clients are growing businesses that need practical recruitment support rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

We work particularly closely with SMEs, founder-led businesses and organisations that are building marketing functions capable of driving real commercial growth. These businesses often need a recruitment partner who can challenge assumptions, provide market insight and help shape hiring decisions, not simply forward applications.

That said, we also support larger organisations and well-known brands who are serious about finding the best talent and there is an opportunity to build a genuinely collaborative relationship. Our best work happens when we’re treated as a trusted partner.

 

Our Approach to Marketing Recruitment

 

Recruitment shouldn’t be about who’s quickest to send a CV. Too often, hiring becomes a numbers game. More CVs. More recruiters. More noise.

We believe there is a better way.

Our approach is consultative, collaborative and built around finding the right solution rather than the easiest one. We take time to understand your business, your culture and your goals before beginning a search. We’ll challenge a brief if we think there’s a better way. We’ll share market insight, salary benchmarking and hiring advice where it’s needed. And if we don’t think a role is ready to go to market, we’ll tell you.

Because we’re not operating as a CV factory;  we prefer to focus on what matters most: finding the right people, not simply the most available people. The result is better hiring decisions, stronger marketing teams and partnerships that last.
