At Kin Collective, we love shining a light on places that don’t always shout the loudest, and Suffolk is one of them. Quietly, confidently, it’s building a reputation as a genuinely exciting place to grow a career in marketing.
When we speak to candidates, there’s often a bit of surprise at just how many opportunities exist in this part of the East of England. But if you look a little closer, you’ll see Suffolk’s marketing landscape is both diverse and dynamic.
So, what’s driving it?
It’s partly the mix of businesses. From digital-first disruptors and growing ecommerce brands to artisan food producers, community-driven organisations and long-standing family businesses, there’s a shared understanding that marketing matters.
These businesses aren’t just looking for someone to post a few social updates. They want people who understand customer behaviour, who can tell compelling stories, and who can use data to drive growth. That’s where strong marketers come in, and we’re seeing more Suffolk-based employers investing in that expertise.
Roles we regularly recruit for in Suffolk include:
Content and Copywriting Specialists
Paid Media Executives
Email Marketing Managers
Marketing Account Managers
Ecommerce and SEO Executives
From entry level to senior leadership, these roles span in-house teams, agencies, and fast-growing start-ups. And while some require a regular presence in the office, many now offer hybrid or remote flexibility, something that’s become a real draw for those looking to combine career ambition with lifestyle balance.
Why Suffolk?
Let’s talk about the ‘why’. What makes Suffolk appealing isn’t just the jobs, it’s the overall way of working.
You’ve got calm coastlines for weekend switch-offs, culture-rich towns like Bury St Edmunds and Ipswich with growing creative scenes, and a pace of life that doesn’t force you to choose between career and wellbeing. For marketers who want meaningful work and a great quality of life, Suffolk ticks a lot of boxes.
Plus, with its proximity to London, and Cambridge, it’s well connected, but without the same intensity. And we’re seeing more candidates actively choosing to relocate or stay local, recognising the potential right on their doorstep.
Our take?
From our seat as marketing recruitment specialists, Suffolk has become a bit of a best-kept secret, but not for long. We think it’ll keep growing as a destination for great marketing talent and forward-thinking employers. And we love being part of that journey.
