This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 1255 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £44,900, and Agora Talent is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 2432 (Marketing and commercial managers, Marketing production role with channel performance focus could fit marketing management) or SOC 2494 (Advertising accounts managers and creative directors, Advertising production manager role managing shoots and creative talent). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
