**Company description** At Spark Foundry, our vision is to Fuel Famously Effective Ideas. Famous and Effective. Not one or the other — both. That sounds nice, but to get to famously effective ideas you need some key ingredients. You need diverse thinkers and diverse thinking. We call this Allsorts. This helps us tackle obstacles through different disciplines and perspectives. You need to thrive on the belief that great ideas are only great if they work.

We’d love to meet you. **Overview** **THE PURPOSE OF THIS ROLE** Associate Digital Activation Directors are responsible for end-to-end output across their entire client set, ensuring a high standard of output is delivered across brief responses, WIPs, business/quarterly reviews, reporting and campaign performance via a highly functioning team.
