Who Are We?

mFuse is a dynamic and fully integrated agency, 6 years young, built on the unwavering belief in the power of creative ideas. As a modern, full-service comms agency, we create impactful campaigns for our clients, specialising in media, performance advertising, design, and production. Backed by WPP, we leverage power of connection between talent and technology to drive tangible growth for brands.

We're proud to be an early adopter in the AI space, following T&P's lead with innovations like the first-ever AI-generated TV ad for Lexus in 2018. Our focus is on harnessing AI across all outputs, with our team trained on WPP’s proprietary AI platform, Creative Studio, to deliver enhanced outcomes for clients.

At mFuse, we champion the Dynamic Idea – a powerful positioning thought that flexes across different media, customer segments, and product offerings. Our Dynamic Delivery process is a fast, iterative approach of testing, learning, and optimising media and creative to accelerate client growth.

Ultimately, our people are our greatest asset. We are always on the lookout for dynamic, passionate individuals to join our team. We strive to be the most important place in their careers, building strong communities, fostering growth, and empowering them to make a difference. Our strengths lie in our differences; we challenge and champion each other, and our clients, to be the very best.

The Creative Production Team at mFuse

The Creative Production team is the ‘engine room’ of the agency, encompassing our dedicated account management function. Led by the Business Director / Operations Lead, the team consists of an Account Director and an Account Manager. We work in tandem with the Performance Creative Strategy team (Client Lead and Account Director) to collectively deliver on briefs across our key workstreams:

• Performance Campaigns

• Rebrand Campaigns

• Adapts (and all the other ‘stuff’ in between)

• Mandatory / Operational

We are a fast-paced, high-volume Creative Production team, operating with a robust and effective 'way of working' – initially developed for Virgin Money and mFuse – that ensures timely and high-quality delivery. With the agency having evolved so fast, in the last 6 years, we are always looking to ensure we have the right people, with the right skills and in the right place to ensure we can respond to Virgin Money (VM), recently merged with Nationwide (NBS), in a timely manner.

The Role: Account Manager, Virgin Money

As a key Account Manager at T&P, you'll be joining our dynamic mFuse team focused on our primary client, Virgin Money. We’re looking for someone – ideally with a minimum of 2 years agency experience – who can confidently come in with sleeves rolled up and ready to get involved!

This role is responsible for building and maintaining strong, collaborative client relationships and effectively managing the end-to-end delivery of projects within our new AI-native agency structure. You will be the reliable day-to-day contact for our clients, ensuring their expectations are met and that a high volume of projects is delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest standard.

This role requires a proactive and ambitious individual who embraces our AI-first approach, leveraging the DIPPAM workflow and the WPP Open platform to drive efficiency, unlock creative potential, and deliver exceptional results that contribute to client growth. You will report into the Business Director, and while you won't directly manage others, you will support the Account Director and team in scheduling work and ensuring seamless project progression. You'll be a 'wily chameleon' who is organised, thrives under pressure, and always thinks about the ‘bigger picture’: what’s right for the client and agency. You must also have the confidence to interact with senior/junior clients and the agency leadership team.

• Identify opportunities for organic growth within your accounts by recognising where our AI-enhanced services can add further value.

• Regularly report on the status of the client account to the Business Director and clients.
