Brand Marketing Executive - FMCG brand
Join our client to build standout Mediterranean food brands - from strategy to shelf, and everything in between!
Our client is a London-born food business specialising in Greek and Mediterranean products, with roots dating back to a market stall in the early 1990s. Over the years, they have grown into a trusted name across a wide range of categories including premium olives and olive oils, meze, speciality ingredients, and dairy products.
They pride themselves on building long-term, sustainable relationships with their producers - many of whom they have partnered with since the beginning. This allows them to deliver quality and authenticity that mass production methods often cannot match.

This is an exciting opportunity for a 360° FMCG marketer who enjoys combining strategic thinking with hands-on execution.
