The Thames Valley has one of the densest concentrations of B2B technology marketing teams in the UK, and a candidate market that behaves quite differently from London. We recruit marketing talent across the corridor.

Marketing teams along the M4 corridor are typically smaller than their London equivalents and considerably broader in remit. A Marketing Manager in Reading is often running demand generation, content, events and the website simultaneously, with one or two people and an agency.
That has two consequences for hiring. Specialists from larger London teams frequently struggle with the breadth, having only ever owned one channel. And generalists who have run a full function at a smaller business are often undervalued by hiring managers reading London-shaped CVs.
We screen for span of control rather than title, because the title tells you very little here.
B2B software and SaaS businesses dominate, with significant presence from technology services, telecoms, pharmaceutical and life sciences commercial teams, energy and professional services. Scale-ups between Series A and Series C account for a growing share of demand.
The most common briefs we take are demand generation, product marketing and first marketing leadership hires into founder-led businesses.
Every Thames Valley marketing search competes with London to some degree, and more so from Maidenhead and Slough where the Elizabeth line makes the comparison direct.
What wins locally is rarely salary alone. It is scope, proximity to the decisions, and not spending two hours a day travelling. Businesses that lead with those tend to compete well above their pay grade. Businesses that lead with salary alone generally lose to London.
We are based in Twyford, in the middle of the corridor. Every search is personally managed by a founder, every candidate is interviewed before you see them, and shortlists arrive within 48 hours of the brief.
