Careers

Our culture

We are led by what makes us great: our people. Driven by their natural ambition, they live our values and thrive within our high-performance culture. It is this culture that empowers our amazing team to grow, succeed in their careers, and stay endlessly curious.

Many businesses say it, but we truly live and breathe it. Our people and our culture are at the heart of every decision we make. Our culture has got us this far and it is the rocket fuel that ignites our future growth. We have many accolades and achievements as a business, but there are none that make us as proud as being recognised as a world class company to work for. Our people make us.

Our values

We all share the same values and collective focus, and this has driven us from the very beginning. Our values and behaviours are integral to every aspect of SMG life.

Stay Hungry

Like many successful companies, we were founded on dissatisfaction with the status quo and the desire to change it. And we’re still hungry to push ourselves continually to improve and learn.

Stay Honest

We’re straight talkers and our word is our bond. We value honesty and integrity, and this is reflected in how we do business and how we expect our people to operate.

Stay Foolish

We have a childlike curiosity so we challenge convention - for instance, we launched the first ever shopper media planning and buying service for brands when we found out that existing media agencies “didn’t do retail”.

Have Fun

At SMG we believe it is so important to enjoy your work and have fun while doing it every day. In addition to this, our company events are the stuff of legend, whether it’s a pub quiz, a book club, giving back to our charity partner, or a black-tie dinner we always have something going on.

LIFE AT SMG

Collectively we value ambition, adaptability, unity, responsibility, inclusion and fun. We are passionate about providing opportunity and growth, recognising and rewarding great work, and doing this within an inclusive and innovative environment.
