Our work is trusted by some of the world’s biggest brands, including Pepsi, Samsung, Amazon, SEGA, and CashApp. Just as importantly, we’re the agency of choice for leading creators shaping culture today — from KSI and Amelia Dimoldenberg to PewDiePie. When the people driving conversations and influencing audiences trust us, it’s no surprise that the world’s mosAt NewGen, we’re a global social creative and creator agency made up of over 100 talented people worldwide, with offices in London (UK), Manchester (UK), and New York (USA). We partner with leading brands to shape culture, tell stories that matter, and harness the power of social first creative and creators to drive meaningful impact. As a fast-growing agency with a collaborative, ambitious spirit, we bring together data, strategy, creativity, and innovation to deliver work that actually cuts through, connects and creates conversation.
Founded by our 30-under-30 co-founders, NewGen is an independent agency working with some of the world’s biggest brands. Privately owned and built to challenge the big networks and stale-traditional agencies, we move fast, live social, and know that our fresh ideas can compete with anyone. In fact, we know it’s the only way ambitious brands do too.
Want to join the team, here are our non-negotiables.
Energy – Get involved, be heard, and contribute. This isn’t the place for an easy ride — we want people who bring energy and ideas. Quality – Quality comes first. If it doesn’t feel right, speak up. Everything we create should push boundaries and break new ground. Collaboration – We win as a team. No egos, no judgment — just support, collaboration, and collective success. Creativity – We thrive on fresh thinking. New ideas and bold approaches are what keep us moving forward. Partnership – Be a great partner to our clients. Everything we do should deliver on their objectives and create a positive, collaborative experience. This is paramount.
What’s it like in the New York office? Life in our New York office is all about start-up energy with the backing of a global agency.

Equal parts strategic and hands-on, you’ll help define NewGen’s influencer offering in the US while ensuring flawless delivery, commercial rigor, and creative excellence.
Above all, we want someone who understands that influencer marketing isn’t transactional — it’s about long-term relationships, cultural relevance, and building programs that audiences actually care about.

Social first x brand impact Being socially native is at the heart of everything we do at NewGen. We’re not an advertising agency — we live and breathe culture, constantly plugged into the trends, conversations, and creators that are shaping the world. To succeed here, you need a deep understanding of the creator ecosystem, an instinct for which voices truly influence culture, and the ability to translate that insight into authentic, high-impact brand partnerships.
This role is about understanding influence beyond follower counts — from community-led creators and emerging talent to established global names — and knowing how to activate them in ways that feel real, relevant, and effective.
It’s ok to be ‘chronically online’.
