/ WHY YOU’LL LOVE THIS JOB

We believe that what a brand does is more important than what it says — we want you to help brands do amazing, unprecedented, wild things, creating experiences that people never forget.

You will be a vital part of the single largest account within the Momentum UK business. Not only that but, within the American Express Team, you will be managing and supporting high profile activations, events, and partnerships, with the chance to significantly impact on the agency’s revenue streams. You will work with a highly-motivated team and have access to all departments within the business – here in London, and in New York City.
