Apply for the Senior Digital Strategist
Location: London
Job Description:

Emperor is a leading, full service corporate communications agency. Proudly independent and with a long heritage of nearly 30 years we are well known in the world of reporting but now in London over 50% of our work is in other areas. These include brand, employee engagement, campaigns, digital (including websites) and moving image and content production. We have a wide range of mainly B2B clients – ranging from large FTSE 100 clients to smaller clients such as regional law firms.

What makes Emperor a great place to work springs from the fact that we are employee-owned. This means employees have a strong voice in how we are run. We have retained our commitment to hybrid working and flexible working hours. Our culture is fair and based on trust, with a good work and home balance.

Reporting to the Head of Digital Strategy, the Senior Digital Strategist plays a leading role in shaping and delivering digital strategy for Emperor’s priority clients.

The role combines senior‑level strategic leadership, client consultancy and commercial contribution, working alongside other strategists, and closely with creative, technical and delivery teams to deliver brilliant outcomes.
