Account Executive in London

Piqniq is a refreshingly intelligent media agency in the UK, working with evolving brands and like-minded agencies to transform audience connections. We are proudly independent, inclusive, and majority female founder-owned, combining expertise with a human approach to help brands and our team thrive.

Launched in early 2024, Piqniq is at the start of our journey. As our team grows rapidly, we’re looking for bright, brave, and enthusiastic media professionals to help us challenge the status quo and lead the change we envision for the industry.

This is a unique opportunity to join a rapidly growing agency in its early stages. We have ambitious growth plans and have recently been named one of Campaign’s ‘Agencies to Watch for 2026’ and Startup Media Agency of the Year (Bronze) at Campaign’s Agency of the Year Awards.

Transparency is key to our culture. When you join Piqniq, you’ll have full visibility into the company’s performance and direction as we grow together.

As an Account Executive, you’ll support the day-to-day running of campaigns and client relationships across a mix of exciting brands. You’ll gain hands-on experience in media planning and buying, campaign delivery, and creative strategy, learning directly from senior team members.

This role is ideal for someone proactive, ambitious, and eager to build a career in marketing and advertising within a fast-paced environment. You’ll work closely with Board-level colleagues, gaining exposure to high-level decision-making early in your career.

We embrace a hybrid working model with flexible hours, expecting about 10 days per month collaborating in our shared workspace in central London.
