Opportunity

This is a unique opportunity to join a growth focused communications agency at a pivotal point in its expansion.

Too Many Dreams is dedicated to breathing life into B2B tech brands. We bring clarity and vision to brilliant ideas, ensuring that a seemingly complex proposition is easily understood and ready to command attention and consideration from tastemakers to decision-makers. Powered by a distributed team of award-winning specialists with first-hand experience building and scaling tech brands, we create and deliver marketing strategies that drive value and get our clients noticed.

The Role

The Content and Communications Director will be responsible for setting the overall strategy for our clients’ marketing activity and then delivering this with the support of our distributed team of freelance specialist. They will be responsible for understanding and shaping our clients’ goals and expectations and then organising the team to ensure the outcomes anticipated are delivered.

The role will require both a good head for strategic thinking and the tenacity to roll your sleeves up and get the work done.

The right individual will touch almost every part of the organisation and will be immersed in the marketing and communications activity for all current clients, as well as supporting the overall marketing and commercial aspects of the business, in collaboration with the founder.

Our Vision

We believe innovative technology scale-ups create immense value for their customers, their industries, their staff, the cities in which they operate, and society more broadly. 

To achieve this potential, their brands need to be brought to life in the minds of the audiences they wish to serve. Marketing creates the moments where these stories can be told. Doing so builds business value and growth.

Our vision is to work with talented humans to produce great work we are proud of. Work underpinned by a strategy that will build brand awareness, drive growth and deliver success. We do this hard work guided by our values so that the hard-working B2B leaders we support can more fully enjoy their growth journey.

Company Values

EXECUTIONAL EMPATHY

We are generous and lead with empathy, to craft and deliver marketing strategies we are proud of that will inspire the audiences we wish to serve. We value the emotional intelligence that’s required to lead with empathy and strive to create meaningful connections, with our team, our clients, and our partners.

APPLIED EXPERTISE

We are proud of the knowledge we have built up over our careers and share this freely with our clients, colleagues and partners. However, we never BS. If we don’t know the answer, we will tell you. And we will then find someone within our network who does.

CONNECTED CRAFTSMANSHIP

We are thinkers and we are doers. One cannot be successful without the other. But we apply critical thinking first, connecting the dots between ideas. And then we act, with discernment. And we always act in a manner that is in the best interests of our clients. Integrity, trust, and reliable execution are paramount.

COMPASSIONATE CANDOUR

We will always be open and honest in our opinions, but these will be grounded in a compassionate understanding of your unique situation. This isn’t ‘radical candour’. And it’s not about always agreeing. But it is about agreeableness. Being contrary is easy. Agreeableness is having a contrary position but being pleasant about it.

ARTISTIC PASSION

We care. About the work, our clients and each other. We approach our work like artists and strive to be agents of positive change. We believe in the emotional labour, hard work, and time necessary to achieve greatness. No shortcuts.

Our aim is to create an inclusive, welcoming environment, empower our teams and embrace diversity.
