About Lucky Generals
Lucky Generals is a creative advertising agency with a passion for bold, innovative ideas. Since we started, we’ve grown to 80+ people split between London (70+) and New York. It’s a perfect size: big enough to tackle the most challenging briefs on the planet, but small enough for everyone to know each other’s name.
What hasn’t changed is our ambition to be “A creative company for people on a mission” – a statement with three distinct parts:
* A creative company: While advertising is our forte, we excel at solving problems with a broader definition of creativity.
* For people: Everything we do is rooted in human insight, focusing on real people with real needs and desires.
* On a mission: We aim to drive meaningful change, inspiring action and delivering work that truly makes a difference.
Our New Business department is where the magic begins, and we’re looking for a talented executive to help us grow even further!
