We are NewGen, an award-winning team of over 100 social natives, with offices across London, Manchester and New York.

Founded by our Forbes 30 under 30 co-founders, we are specialists in digital marketing, experts in social media and gamers at heart — but that hasn’t stopped us from working with the biggest non-gaming brands in the world, helping them reach their audiences in creative and innovative ways powered by social.

Samsung, PepsiCo, Cetaphil, Epic Games, Activision, JBL, Pizza Hut: these are just some of the brands we partner with daily — and we need creative, strategic, data-led individuals to help shape award-winning campaigns that keep them coming back for more.

NewGen EMEA operates a hybrid culture in our London and Manchester offices, as we understand the value of both home and in-office working. We expect office attendance at our Holborn base at least 3 days per week to allow for effective teamwork and collaboration.
