Marketing Director Fmcg jobs

We are looking for a commercially astute, ambitious Marketing Director to take full ownership of the Gaming Giveaways brand, one of BGFG’s flagship businesses.

The role spans paid performance (the core engine of the business), brand management, influencer and traditional paid media including TV, radio, out of home and taxi advertising.
