Description

About Us
Mitchell & Stones act as an outsourced marketing department for organisations across the UK and internationally.

Our clients trust us to consult and strategise on all areas of their marketing strategy and using our resources we execute those activities to help our clients reach their goals and objectives.

We are not your standard digital agency. We are changing the way companies deal with external marketing agencies. We offer a one-stop solution to companies who have struggled to establish a performing marketing function within their business.

This means we get to flex our creative muscles more often, using our know-how to guide our client's marketing strategy and our internal resources to achieve their goals.


Our Culture


Here at Mitchell & Stones, you will find a team that is highly supportive in all areas of our endeavours.

We believe that collaboration and a desire to do and be better is ingrained within our DNA.

All challenges are opportunities and if it's always been done that way then we should absolutely be asking ourselves 'is there a better way?'.

This role will require you to strategize and execute SEO strategies for clients operating primarily within B2B sectors. Experience presenting reports to senior management within client organisations is beneficial.
