About Us

Founded in 2019, Soar With Us is one of the UK's fastest-growing e-commerce advertising agencies — a team of 30+ A-Players who've generated over £250m in client revenue over the last 12 months, working with brands like TRIP, Cowshed, Heights, IM8, 47 Skin, and Nutrition Geeeks.

We're investing heavily in video, and we're hiring our second in-house Video Editor to increase output across our own marketing funnel — not client work. You'll own editing for our organic social, website-converting VSLs, and Meta ad creative, working closely with our video content executive.
