Emma Jenkins

I joined this renowned purpose-driven creative agency as the first employee and have since helped it grow to a 17-person agency working with an impressive client roster of both global brands and small disruptors. I’ve been instrumental in strategising, ideating and executing global sustainability campaigns for a huge number of brands including Greenpeace, NatWest, C40 Cities, Envision Virgin Racing and Ellis Brigham. As an expert in sustainability communications, I’ve helped brands of all sizes credibly and transparently communicate their social and environmental purpose in the form of ESG reports, video scripts, whitepapers, blogs, TV adverts and powerful OOH campaigns.This role has seen me push myself to undertake a huge roll call of successful, proven creative work including creating scripts read by Stephen Fry and King Charles III, ideating Greenpeace’s biggest behaviour change campaign ever, writing taglines for famous drinks brands, creating and hosting strategic messaging and brand workshops to help companies, such as Hitachi and Karma Cola, to nail their sustainability narrative and helping a number of brands develop their tone of voice and brand personality. As someone who strongly prioritises purpose and values, working with ethical organisations to help strengthen their brand has been something I'm hugely proud of. Plus, as the first employee, I have been instrumental in strategic business decisions, implementing processes that have helped the business grow into a leading player, managing new employees, aiding its journey to becoming a certified B Corp and wearing a whole host of hats from PR to HR.

My role here saw me overseeing strategic planning and everyday account management for some of the biggest suppliers in the international live events market. From conducting backstage interviews at festivals, photographing sporting events to writing bespoke features for magazines, my role here was hugely varied. Key achievements included using my skills to help one of London’s last remaining independent venues implement a new communications strategy which aided them in enhancing the calibre of incoming acts and becoming a multi-award-winning venue.

My time here saw me undertake various in-house and client-related creative tasks including writing engaging social media content, managing clients’ social media accounts and monitoring and reporting on campaigns. I also helped create in-depth social media plans, crisis management plans and weekly activity schedules, as well as writing strategies and proposals for new and prospective clients. I also helped run and organise social media training sessions for a variety of high-profile clients, such asIBM, Arrow and Skipton Building Society.
