Better Recruitment Starts With Better Conversations

MCS has spent more than 30 years building relationships across Northern Ireland’s marketing market. Our specialist consultants recruit from Marketing Manager through to CMO level and bring that market knowledge into every conversation.

You get informed advice, access to the right people and a clearer view of what the market is really doing.

Building Your Marketing Leadership Team?

The strongest brief starts with more than a job title. We want to understand what you need this person to achieve in the first six months, the team they will inherit or build, the budget they will control and how marketing works with the rest of the leadership team.


That gives us a much clearer picture of the kind of Marketing Manager, Head of Marketing or Marketing Director who will work in your organisation.

Considering Your Next Senior Marketing Role?

At senior level, a bigger title does not always mean a bigger opportunity. The real difference can be the team you will lead, the budget available, how seriously the business takes marketing and whether you will have genuine influence over strategy and commercial decisions.


MCS helps you understand that before you make a move, so you know what you are stepping into and what the role could add to your career.

A Good Track Record Only Tells You So Much

Two candidates can both have strong technology sales results and still be completely different hires. What they sold, who they sold to, the complexity of the deal and the environment they performed in all matter.

MCS looks beyond the numbers to understand how someone has achieved them. We get to know your product, buyers and sales model, then look for people whose experience makes sense for where your business is going.

Find the Marketing Role That Fits How You Work

Marketing teams are changing quickly. From digital performance and product marketing to content, social media, employer brand and design, the right hire depends on what your business needs to achieve, the stage you are at and the skills already around the table.


We’ve spent over 30 years building relationships with marketing and creative professionals across Northern Ireland and Ireland, getting to know the people behind the job titles as their careers grow. That gives our consultants the network, market knowledge and understanding to know who is out there, what might make them move and where the right fit could be for your team.

Shortlists With Context

A Better Brief

Digital marketing titles can hide very different responsibilities. We help you define what the role actually needs to deliver, which channels matter most, what level of ownership is required and whether you need a broad Digital Marketing Manager or deeper specialist expertise.

That gives us a clearer search from the start and helps candidates understand the opportunity properly too.

Access to Digital Talent

Our consultants build relationships with digital marketers across SEO, PPC, paid media, CRM, automation, performance and broader digital leadership.

That gives you access to people beyond the active job market, including professionals who may not be applying but would consider the right move.

Ready to take greater ownership of growth? Business Development Manager jobs can put you at the centre of developing new markets, winning customers and building commercial relationships from the ground up.

Salary & Market Insight

Digital marketing salaries can move quickly depending on specialism, seniority and demand.

We can give you context on salary expectations, candidate availability and where a brief may need to flex across the Northern Ireland market.

Long-Term Partnership

Many of our client relationships continue well beyond the first hire. As marketing teams grow and priorities change, clients come back to MCS because we already understand their business, the team around the role and the kind of people who work well there.

That ongoing relationship means each new search starts with more context and a clearer understanding of what the business needs next.

Trusted Relationships

Relationships Built Across the Marketing Community

We work with businesses at different stages of growth, from teams making their first marketing hire to established organisations adding specialist and senior expertise.

30+ Years in Northern Ireland’s Marketing Market

Relationships That Give You a Better View of the Market

MCS works with organisations at every stage of growth, from businesses making their first senior marketing appointment to global organisations building established functions across Northern Ireland and Ireland. That breadth matters because the search changes with the business. A first Marketing Manager hire needs a different approach to adding a Head of Marketing into an established team, expanding a function into a new market or strengthening leadership across several specialisms.

Our consultants bring specialist knowledge across digital, content, product and marketing leadership, alongside long-standing relationships with global organisations, SMEs, agencies and public sector bodies. That gives MCS the context to shape the search properly, challenge the brief where needed and find people who fit the stage, structure and ambition of the organisation.
