Marketing Jobs in London

London is a major centre for the UK financial and media industries, but is also offering considerable employment for those in the service and manufacturing sectors. It may come as little surprise that the capital is also a prime destination for those with an interest in pursuing a career in marketing, and that many leading marketing people, companies, and exhibitions call London their home. Let’s have a look at some of the leading businesses currently offering marketing jobs in London.

O2, now owned by Telefonica Europe plc, is a telecommunications company that has existed in some shape or form since 1985 (born as a partnership between British Telecom and Cellnet).

As the company continues to expand, it now employs 6000 people across the UK with marketing opportunities in Slough.

Virgin Media Inc. (formerly ntl:Telewest) is currently the biggest competitor for BSKYB in the UK and has its base in Hook (admittedly, not strictly London but near enough).

Despite announcements in November to cut jobs in some areas, their marketing team is undergoing continual expansion.
