ABOUT PURPOSE DISRUPTORS

Founded in 2019, Purpose Disruptors is an award-winning organisation on a mission to change the story of advertising, from a story of extraction to regeneration, from negligence to responsibility, and from carelessness to conscious consumption. We’re on a mission to change the story of advertising by educating and inspiring disruptors to write the next chapter

Our work includes:
Developing a pioneering measurement framework - Advertised Emissions - to measure the holistic carbon emissions of advertising, now adopted by the UN as best leadership practice; developing a flagship sustainability training programme, Change The Brief  adopted by all six network groups across the industry and founding Project Good Life 2030, aimed at redefining the concept of a ‘good life’ by shifting the focus away from consumerism towards connection.

Most recently, we launched the Agency for Nature - the first Creative Agency for All Life on Earth, garnering attention from the BBC, The Irish Times, Mashable, Vogue Business and It’s Nice That.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As we enter a critical window for transformative climate action across the creative industries, we’re seeking a proactive, creative and strategically-minded Communications and Community Manager (maternity cover) to help amplify our impact and elevate our presence across sectors and audiences.

You’ll love juggling opportunities and learning new things. Whilst you might not be an expert in all things comms, you will have the drive and desire to find out how to make stuff happen. You will have lots of initiative, a sharp eye for opportunities, and a deep sense of ownership. You should be just as comfortable drafting media releases and thought leadership as you are hosting a community event or jumping on a call with collaborators.

As the voice of Purpose Disruptors across channels—you will own and execute our communications plan, manage our social platforms, and translate often complex or technical concepts into compelling, accessible messages. You’ll also nurture our growing community, designing and hosting moments of connection—both digital and in-person—that energise and grow our network.

This role is central to the Purpose Disruptors’ mission. You will shape the way we communicate, build relationships with our growing community, and bring energy and consistency to our voice across multiple platforms and projects.

PROJECTS YOU WILL BE SUPPORTING

Project Good Life: Since early 2021, Good Life 2030 has brought together leaders and creatives from across the industry to explore what compelling visions of a new ‘good life’ in 2030 could look like, and what these visions mean for them as individuals, their work, their businesses and for the advertising industry itself. Since its inception, there have been various Citizen Vision reports, imagination workshops, briefs and creative campaigns activated in the UK (explore them here ).

The project has also expanded into Ireland funded by Creative Ireland (part of the Government of Ireland).

Agency for Nature: The Agency for Nature project rallies major advertising agencies around one mission: use creativity to create hype for nature connection in UK youth culture. In its inaugural year, we worked with five top agencies:
Wieden & Kennedy, Leo Burnett,…
