PROJECT
Recruitment Case Study: Fanbytes
Influencer marketing
10-50 | Seed funded
United Kingdom
Multiple role types
Hiring in lockdown
Quickly identified unique company culture
Interns, recent graduates and second jobbers
Founded by Timothy Armoo, Ambrose Cooke and Mitchell Fasanya whilst at university in 2017, Fanbytes partner with brands to help them distribute native campaigns to highly engaged Generation Z audiences through identified Snapchat and Tiktok influencers. Since then, the company has grown to employ 60 people and work with the likes of Samsung, H&M and Nike. In May 2022 Fanbytes was acquired by digital-first agency BrainLabs, strengthening its portfolio to deliver a full range of performance channels for clients.
Fanbytes X BrighterBox:
BrighterBox began working with the founders Tim, Ambrose and Mitchell when the team was still under 10 people and has supported their recruitment drive as they have grown to a team of 60.
“BrighterBox have been amazing to work with over the past year, they have recruited for a range of roles from account management, admin and finance to sales. They understand our culture and people who will fit with our current team and are always on the ball getting candidates sent over quickly. “
- Ambrose Cooke, Co-founder @ Fanbytes
Operating in an emerging space means there is a serious lack of experienced industry talent, so Fanbytes have had to hire bright people who can quickly learn the ropes and accelerate into managerial positions within months.
