QMS Seeks to appoint a lead creative agency to deliver consumer marketing campaigns.

The lead creative agency will be responsible for development, full production and editing all creative elements required to service media schedules which cover seasonal campaign activations across the year focusing on Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring. Examples of media used in campaigns include:

  • VOD
  • Digital display/ paid social adverts
  • Radio/streaming adverts
  • Digital print/OOH

To help QMS achieve the above, we require an agency who can prepare and present high quality, clear, concise and cost-effective activation of brand marketing strategies and work in partnership with QMS’ Marketing and Communication team to ensure the best possible outcome for our three industry brands: Scotch Beef PGI, Scotch Lamb PGI and Specially Selected Pork whilst keeping our brand essence of Meat with Integrity at the heart of our communications.
