About Accord Marketing
What is Accord Marketing?
Accord Marketing is a London-based full-service marketing agency specialising in travel and tourism — one of the UK's longest-established agencies in the sector, working with tour operators, cruise lines, destinations and travel brands on strategy, media, digital and creative. Headquartered in Holborn with a second base in Barnstaple, Devon, Accord was ranked the #20 Best Small Company to Work For in the UK and #3 Marketing & Media Agency in Best Companies' 2025 lists, holding a 2-star accreditation.
Where will I work?
Holborn, central London (or Barnstaple), on a genuinely light hybrid: "We work in the office twice a week and three days from home. Plus, we offer flexible hours, with start times of 8.30am through to 10.30am" — verbatim from the agency's own careers page.
What is the Accord team like?
A small senior agency team (roughly 10-49 people) across client services, media planning, digital and creative, with travel-industry specialists throughout. Employee reviews are sparse but emphatic — 5.0 on Indeed — and the agency's benefits read like a deliberate anti-burnout design.
Work-Life Balance
The headline is literal: "Unlimited holiday — Your holiday allowance is up to you - so long as you can get the job done, and it doesn't impact the wider team." That sits alongside the two-day office week, flexible start times, and a rare long-service perk: two-year sabbaticals. For an agency — a sector that usually runs hot — Accord's package is unusually structured around giving time back.
