Location: London – 4 days per week onsite
Contract: Initial 2-month freelance contract
Day Rate: Open, dependent on experience
Start Date: Mid-August

We’re working with an independent integrated media and creative agency looking for an experienced Freelance Planning Manager to join their media team during a busy period.

This is a cross-channel media planning and account management role, suited to someone who is highly organised, confident with clients and comfortable coordinating multiple teams and moving parts.

Working across a varied client portfolio, including FMCG and charity accounts, you’ll play a key role in taking client briefs, supporting media strategy and channel planning, and ensuring campaigns move smoothly from initial brief through to delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage day-to-day client relationships and act as a key point of contact
• Take client briefs and support the development of media strategy and channel planning
• Work closely with Planning Directors and senior team members to shape client responses
• Coordinate with specialist digital and offline media teams
• Manage timelines, meetings, actions and internal processes to keep projects on track
• Build strong relationships across planning, buying, creative and client teams
• Bring together clear and compelling media recommendations across channels

About You

• Previous experience as a Planning Manager, Media Planning Manager, Account Manager or similar within a media agency
• Strong understanding of cross-channel media planning and the UK media landscape
• Excellent client servicing and stakeholder management skills
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail
• Confident managing multiple projects and priorities
• Collaborative, proactive and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
• An interest in the wider creative and media landscape

This is not a specialist media buying role. Dedicated buying teams manage activation across digital and offline channels, so the focus of this position is on upfront media planning, client management and coordinating teams to deliver effective integrated campaigns.

The agency is small, independent and genuinely integrated across media and creative, offering the opportunity to work closely with specialists from across the business.

The role is initially a two-month freelance contract, with a mid-August start. Candidates should be comfortable working onsite in London four days per week.

If you’re an experienced media planner available for your next freelance opportunity, we’d love to hear from you.

£45,000–£65,000 DOE

London (Hybrid)

Our client is a fast-growing, award-winning direct-to-consumer brand with an expanding product range, high-profile partnerships, and a refreshingly ambitious marketing team. Having recently returned to TV and out-of-home advertising, they are now investing seriously in performance search — and this hire sits at the centre of that shift.

The opportunity

• Step into a business that has just run incrementality modelling confirming search as one of its highest-value channels — meaning real budget is moving your way

• A rare in-house role where you can scale Google Search from a strong foundation rather than building from zero

• Own the agency relationship for SEO too — bridging paid and organic search in a way few manager-level roles allow

• Work alongside senior performance marketing leadership with backgrounds in high-growth consumer brands

Responsibilities

• Own and scale Google Ads campaigns day-to-day — generic search, shopping, and across the broader Google ecosystem

• Manage Google Merchant Center and Shopify product feeds, including hands-on work with SKU variants and campaign alignment

• Report on performance to internal stakeholders, including translating CAC and incrementality data into clear narratives for finance and leadership

• Manage the SEO agency relationship and identify opportunities to connect paid and organic search activity

• Feed insight into CRO and on-site journey improvements in collaboration with the site team

Your profile

• 2–5 years of hands-on Google Ads experience exposure to e-commerce or DTC brands either inhouse or via agency preferred.

• Comfortable working across Google Merchant Center and Shopify — you understand how shopping feeds are built and why they go wrong

• Solid grasp of unit economics: AOV, LTV, CAC, and how they inform which campaigns and SKUs to prioritise

• Confident interpreting data and building a story around performance — whether through Looker Studio, scripts, or AI-assisted reporting

• A working knowledge of SEO and how it connects to paid search strategy; agency management experience is a bonus
