CLIENTSINDUSTRYTYPESTATUS Futureproof is a complete, end-to-end marketing company, obsessed with creating and executing ideas that change behaviour.
Our structure is unique: a full-service creative agency and a client-side marketing team, in one.
Changing behaviour improves marketing results and can be measured
We measure all our ideas against client objectives and connect our fees to our performance against those objectives.
We do this from start to finish (research, strategy, creative, execution, management and measurement) and across all media (branding, communications, advertising, relationship marketing, digital, experiential, PR).
A unique role, giving you the chance to be involved in both the financial and commercial sides of the business.
We are a revolutionary marketing firm looking to recruit a highly motivated Junior Commercial Manager as part of the wider Business Services team. The Business Services team supports the entire business, and without it Futureproof would not be the success that it is today. This is a unique role, and will give you the chance to be involved in both the financial and commercial sides of the business.
Business Services supports the other four departments in the business: Brand Management, Strategy, Creative and Digital. Brand Management are the main client contacts, and are also responsible for the finances of their projects, from contract pricing (fixed price) to tracking efficiency and reporting income against targets.
The commercial side of this role will require you to work closely with our 14 Brand Management staff to ensure that we are winning profitable work and delivering it efficiently. As such, you will have strong commercial acumen combined with exceptional interpersonal skills. You will also have exposure to Business Development, which also sits within the Business Services team.
You will also work closely with Senior Finance Manager (SFM) in supporting with financial planning, tracking, budgeting and reporting. This will include certain month end responsibilities, although our Accounts Assistant also supports in this process. Significant responsibility will be given to you at an early stage, and you will be required to be proactive and autonomous in your delivery. A ‘can-do’ attitude is a must, combined with great problem-solving skills.
This is an exciting opportunity for an accountant looking to work in a commercial role in a dynamic and innovative company.

World Vision wanted to expand their child sponsorship face-to-face fundraising activity to incorporate a greater number of appearances at Events & Festivals in 2013, and they wanted to do this in an engaging, interactive and educational way. Futureproof was challenged to create a bespoke, highly engaging consumer experience that showcases World Vision’s international work at exhibitions, festivals and shopping centres around the UK.
The creative response was required to create two things; engagement and interaction.
The chosen creative idea was ‘Reactive’, the execution includes a reaction to the stand which creates a feeling of empowerment.
A set of large scale artwork with accompanying branded de-coder glasses was produced. The artwork is on first glance an illustration of despair, depicting some of the terrifying facts of life for children living in some of the world’s poorest places – young girls being forced to marry, children forced to work in mines, no schools or healthcare facilities, no clean water and very little food. When the glasses are then put on the illustration changes to one filled with hope, clearly revealing the life changing effects child sponsorship can have.
The glasses were designed to empower the wearer, clearly revealing the incredible difference that they could make to a child’s life.
