United Kingdom Marks, part of SGS & Co Full time

Agency Overview

Marks is global creative platform working at the collision of creativity, technology, and brand. We combine a leading agency delivering bespoke omnichannel creative and a global production studio uniquely built to produce purposeful content across channels at the speed of culture. While we may be hard to find on Google (makemarks.com); our work is quite easy to find as we partner with some of the biggest household brands on the planet (LEGO, Amazon, PepsiCo, Mondelez, iRobot, Diageo, Danone, CVS, Nestle, Target, and AB InBev).


We used to call ourselves the agency world’s best kept secret, but we are having a harder and harder time keeping our growing and expanding client relationships under wraps. In the past year alone, Marks has grown revenues greater than 12%, and added more than 100 talented professionals to our global team.


Together, we are 900 strong, with 15 studios in 12 countries. Our client, creative and production teams are all global; meaning we always put the right talent against the right client opportunity. Rooted in brand design, we are a super-charged omni-channel creative and experience powerhouse — ready to take on the biggest opportunities that lay ahead for our clients.


Marks is part of SGS & Co; which offers a suite of full-length marketing services by combining Marks with SGS, the world’s premier global packaging production agency.
