Paid Search Executive

About the company

ARNE is a UK apparel and footwear label headquartered in Birchwood Park, close to Warrington. The business designs and develops all products in the UK and works with trusted manufacturing partners across both near and far east regions. Its products are sold directly through the brand’s own ecommerce site, with additional stockist presence in Selfridges both online and in-store, and the opening of its first permanent retail location at Liverpool ONE marks a major step in the brand’s growth.

The company has ambitious plans for the years ahead, including adding new product lines, growing internationally, increasing investment in paid media and CRM, and building its retail footprint. It has also moved from very modest beginnings in 2018 to a purpose-built headquarters, which it expects to use for the next 5 to 10 years as it works toward becoming a more widely recognised UK brand.
