Executive Search Agency: Brand Elevation and Thought Leadership

Who: Melium Consulting 


Where: Based in London, hiring into Europe (FMCG Sector)


Business Size:
<5 person team

This executive search firm specialises in high-level placements across the FMCG industry in Europe. With no internal marketing in place and a previous attempt to hire a junior that didn’t work out, they were unsure how to approach marketing in a way that aligned with their niche and senior-level audience.


They engaged Prominence to provide end-to-end marketing support and quickly began seeing the benefits of working with a recruitment specialist who understood their goals from the get go.
