Social Media Manager - UK

About Us

MBN is a full-service, global marketing agency with offices in Arizona, New York and Manchester, UK.

We service clients from multiple different industries, from legendary and iconic fashion brands to local restaurants, global e-commerce clients to home service companies and everything in between.

We’re young, hungry and growing fast, but what separates us more than anything is that we care about our people.

Like, actually care.

This isn’t your generic “our office has free snacks” kind of care (which it totally does by the way, and you can order what you want too) but the kind of care that allows you to enjoy life too.

For example, we offer remote working, unlimited vacation (we’re an American company, we say vacation. You can call it ‘holiday’, it’s fine). Plus loads of company events and, let’s be honest, the bit everybody pretends not to care about but totally cares about… great remuneration.

Sound good? Then, take a look at the job description below. If it’s your kinda thing, drop us an application and who knows, maybe we’ll be coworkers soon…
