Account Director

“It is far better to become something, than to remain anything but become nothing”

Believe that hard work pays off? We are looking for an Account Director to join our busy team. Uncommon Sense is 3 years old, has grown fast and is now on the lookout for a conscientious individual to support us on our fast-paced expansion program.

Don’t be put off if you don’t think you have enough experience – more important is a willingness to work hard and have ambition.

At Uncommon Sense, we use a combination of evolutionary consumer psychology and best-in-class digital expertise to create marketing campaigns that target innate needs, preferences and drives.

We don’t agree with postmodern thinking, play identity politics, or blindly follow social justice agendas. We go beyond these ideologies to deliver marketing solutions that are rooted in evidence, not trends.

We believe common sense is the ability to see things as they are, and do things as they ought to be done. So, in a world where common sense is not so common, we believe that Uncommon Sense makes good sense.
