Sports Media Company jobs in Greater London

Who Are We?

&Accelerate is the social-first engine room inside T&Pm. Backed by the heavyweight machinery of WPP, we have the resources of a global giant, but the bureaucratic red tape of a speedboat. That means zero committees, zero forty-person email chains to get a meme approved, and absolute freedom to do work that is genuinely brilliant. Our strengths often lie in our differences, so we challenge and champion each other and our clients to be the very best we can be. You’ll be embedded in our Social & Creator pod, running the social front line for four distinctly irreverent brands:

• talkSPORT: The loud, chaotic, opinionated beating heart of British sporting debate.
• Hawkstone: Britain’s fastest-growing beer brand that takes farming very seriously and corporate marketing not seriously at all.
• Capri-Sun: The iconic childhood pouch, now weaponised with chaotic,self-aware internet humour.
• Virgin Radio: 90s and noughties fuelled radio station with talent interviews and owned skit franchises

The Role

This is a hands-on, phone-in-your-palm creator gig. You will not be trapped in an office writing 50-slide strategy decks that nobody reads. You will be out in the field shooting most days of the week. One morning you’ll be down at the talkSPORT studios ambushing Jason Cundy after a Chelsea meltdown; the next day you’re out on a tractor filming field stunts for Hawkstone; and by Friday you’re self-directing a hilarious street vox-pop for Capri-Sun. We don’t care about high-gloss production values or cinema lenses that take four hours to rig up. We care about comedic timing, razor-sharp hooks, and squeezing every drop of organic viral potential out of whatever we post. You must live and breathe social

You’ll be a good fit if you:

• Like to be off-site multiple days every week, be that in the studio, event launches, or in-store.

• Can deliver funny, entertaining and social-savvy ideas

• Strong front-of-camera presence, happy jumping in front of the lens,conducting interviews, delivering deadpan monologues, or playing the punchline.

• Trend-jack at light speed, be it a sporting controversy or a viral audio trend

• You know how to make lo-fi phone footage look intentional, engaging, and impossible to scroll past.

• Can turnaround fast edits primarily using CapCut. You know how to cut outevery dead millisecond of breath, and how to structure a video so it earns every second of watch time.

• Can challenge the room, working closely with our strategy and creative teams, your voice should be loud be it through meme encyclopaedia or creative instincts in every pitch.

Who you are:

• Properly sports & culture obsessed.

• Genuinely funny with an understanding of sarcasm and comic timing.

• Zero camera-shyness.

• You have a track record of real numbers on real content.

• Please send us three pieces of social content you made (filmed, edited, or

• presented) that you're genuinely proud of, and tell us why they worked.
