Genie Ventures

Genie Ventures is a rapidly growing digital marketing and publishing company. We run a stable of successful businesses including the UK’s first broadband comparison site (Broadband Genie) and a number of specialist comparison sites. We’ve also taken everything we’ve learned from growing these sites and created an internationally recognised, award winning performance marketing agency (Genie Goals).We’re based near Cambridge city centre, with a staff of more than 50 fantastic people, although our reach is global - operating in the UK, European and US markets. We are tech-focused having developed our own technology in house, and work closely with some of the biggest brands in the world including Google, Amazon, Karl Lagerfeld and Sky.Genie Ventures is a fabulous company to work for; then we would say that, wouldn’t we? It’s not just us saying it though – in recent times we’ve won a prestigious Working Mums Top Employer Award; and been a finalist for the Amazon Growing Business Awards Employer of the Year, The Cambridge News Business Awards Employer of the Year Award and the British Small Business Awards Small Business of the Year.We’ve achieved this by developing a unique culture based on developing our team and trusting them; with Genies being encouraged to learn and develop in a supportive yet ambitious environment. And we’ve managed to maintain a wide-eyed and fearless start-up mentality despite massive growth in both staff numbers and profitability.A huge perk of being a Genie is the sense of fun and togetherness that comes from working in a sociable, fun, caring and creative environment. In addition you’ll find an enviable selection of benefits, from table football and board games to a kitchen stocked to bursting with posh tea and coffee, fruit and other goodies – ready and waiting for you when you join our happy family.
