Who we are

We are Kairos, an award-winning team of over 100 social natives, with offices across London, Manchester and New York.

Founded by our '30 under 30 co-founders' we are specialists in digital marketing, experts in social media and gamers at heart, but that hasn't stopped us from working with the biggest non-gaming brands in the world helping them to reach their audiences in creative and innovative ways, powered by social media.

Samsung, PepsiCo, Epic Games, Activision, JBL, Pizza Hut, Cetaphil: these are just some of the brands we work with daily and we need creative, strategic, data-led individuals to help shape award-winning campaigns that keep them coming back for more
