Looking for UK ad agency recruiters

As the title says I’m looking for some uk based ad agency recruiters, I’ve finished uni last summer studying advertising and marketing and I’m looking to get into the role of either account executive, junior strategist or junior art director. But I’m struggling to get my foot in currently.

If some recruiters could make themselves known that would be amazing and I can start conversation with you all.

Major Players, Salt... there's loads. Just look on LinkedIn, Campaign, The Dots etc...

Agree with u/wrongcopy, there are loads. But they'll all want to know why you want to be X, and currently you don't seem wedded to any specific stream. ArtD vs AE are way different.

Both accounts and to a lesser extent art direction can lead to strategic roles as you progress, but I'd suggest you look into talking with some folks in the industry and picking a speciality based on the kind of work you want to do, and what specific types of headache you want to experience.

This is actually really good advice I’ll get onto to trying to talk to people in the departments I would prefer to work in. Thank you!
