At Kin Collective, we’ve always believed great marketing talent doesn’t have to chase the city lights. And in recent months, Buckinghamshire has been proving exactly that.
From Milton Keynes to Aylesbury, High Wycombe to Amersham, we’re seeing more and more businesses in Bucks investing in their brand, growing their teams, and building out long-term marketing strategies. Whether you’re looking for your next in-house role or exploring the agency world, Buckinghamshire is quickly becoming one to watch.
What we’re noticing as recruiters
In our conversations with employers and candidates alike, Buckinghamshire is increasingly seen as a sweet spot, offering exciting marketing opportunities without the commute (or cost) of London.
We’re seeing businesses of all shapes and sizes hiring. There’s an influx of growing ecommerce brands, digital agencies carving out niche specialisms, and regional headquarters investing in in-house teams with full marketing capability. These aren’t just entry-level roles either, we’re placing talent at every level, from execs to senior strategists.
Popular marketing roles we recruit for in Buckinghamshire:
Digital Marketing Manager – often blending campaign management, analytics and team leadership
Social Media Executive – with a strong focus on content creation, influencer marketing and brand storytelling
Marketing Data Analyst – increasingly key for businesses doubling down on performance and ROI
Content Manager – covering everything from blogs and SEO to brand tone of voice and creative briefs
Brand Strategist – a more senior-level role we’re seeing in businesses looking to refine or reposition their offer
What makes Buckinghamshire especially interesting right now is the variety of roles available. You’re just as likely to find yourself working on a global campaign for a tech client as you are leading a regional strategy for a heritage food and drink brand.
Sector growth and where the opportunities lie
We’re seeing particular movement in ecommerce, health and wellness, technology, and professional services. Many brands that once outsourced their marketing are now hiring in-house specialists, giving marketers the opportunity to own strategy, deliver at pace, and build something meaningful.
Tech hubs like Milton Keynes offer great infrastructure and access to funding, while towns like Marlow and Beaconsfield attract creative-led businesses and challenger brands that want to stand out. If you’re a marketer who enjoys variety and wants your ideas to be heard, Bucks is full of opportunities.
The lifestyle factor
There’s also something to be said for the work–life balance. Buckinghamshire offers the countryside calm of the Chilterns, the buzz of market towns like Aylesbury and High Wycombe, and brilliant transport links to London, Oxford, and Birmingham.
Many of the roles we’re recruiting for now are hybrid, offering the flexibility to work from home with the connection and culture of a local team. For many marketers, it’s the best of both worlds.
What we expect to see next
Looking ahead, we predict a continued rise in mid to senior-level marketing roles in Buckinghamshire, especially as businesses mature and look for leadership within their marketing function. We’re already seeing demand for people who can manage budgets, build integrated strategies, and mentor junior team members.
There’s also a growing interest in performance marketing, data storytelling, and user experience, areas where we expect demand to spike in 2025 and beyond.
