Charlie Oscar is a digital growth company built to transform brands and underpinned by marketing science.

We combine data, technology and creativity to advise and execute digital marketing strategies that break the status quo for the world's most ambitious brands. Put simply, we transform growth.

Our growth consultancy equips our clients with the tools and expertise required to drive incremental revenue opportunities. From Paid Social to Influencer marketing, we help maximise the potential of each growth lever.

At Charlie Oscar, albeit being a performance marketing company, one of the best parts is the fact that everyone – from our data scientists to paid social analysts – has an appreciation and respect for creative and understands it’s importance in a brand’s growth marketing strategy.

Ultimately, creative accounts for 80% of social algorithms, which is why at Charlie Oscar, we place a lot of emphasis on arming our clients with the best creative insights and content ideas to break through on social. This is where you come in.

At Charlie Oscar, we like to select team members based on attitude and culture add. While we value experience and expertise, we want to work with people who are eager to challenge the status quo and driven to consistently deliver best-in-class output.

We believe in work-life balance and prioritise team well-being. We work hard but also make time to bond as a team, have some fun and socialise. We do quarterly social events and an annual company trip away to recharge and spend quality time together. The team work together in our London Bridge office, and from home.
