We Are MRM UK

About MRM

MRM is a modern relationship marketing agency that delivers transformative creative solutions at the intersection of business, culture, and technology. We work in a borderless, integrated way to help businesses grow meaningful relationships with people. As part of McCann Worldgroup and the Interpublic Group (IPG), we span 35 offices worldwide, bringing global reach with local expertise.

MRM UK is an agency where the most important relationships we build are inclusive ones, and that inclusivity must extend not only to one another, but also to our clients, partners and communities. We are guided by our codified Blueprint for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion that drives our strategy to ensure our workplace is one where everyone is treated with dignity, respect and fairness — where we celebrate who we are and how we identify. And we expect self-awareness and accountability from team members at all levels of the organization. This is much more than a statement — it’s in the act of living our daily lives.

The Role

Key responsibilities:

  • Lead strategic thinking on large-scale, complex experience transformation engagements.
  • Help define experience visions and product strategies which turn opportunity into new digital experiences.
  • Develop CRM and communications strategies targeted to both B2B and B2C audiences.
  • Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams—including Creative, Data, Technology, UX, and Business Leadership to craft innovative solutions that deliver measurable impact.
  • Design customer journeys that identify jobs to be done, moments that matter, and barriers to overcome across emotional, functional, and cultural needs.
  • Translate insights into compelling briefs, messaging matrices, and tactical plans that link business objectives to meaningful customer touchpoints.
  • Identify opportunities to creatively capture and activate 0- and 1st-party data.
  • Activate CRM strategies with martech and automation platforms (e.g., Adobe, Salesforce) and continuously optimize performance through testing, analysis, and best practices.
  • Partner with senior clients and agency leadership to set vision, align teams, and represent strategy at the highest level.
  • Manage, mentor, and inspire strategists to improve their craft and grow their careers.
  • Contribute to MRM’s IP, thought leadership, and future-facing strategy offering.
