About the Marketing Department

We’re a friendly and collaborative team of around 40 people working across four specialist areas: Marketing Campaigns, Digital Engagement, Design, and Audience Insight & Data. Based primarily at our London St Pancras office, but with colleagues in Yorkshire, we use hybrid working to work flexibly while ensuring we regularly come together in person to share knowledge, celebrate successes, and support one another to achieve our goals. By combining our diverse skills and experiences, and drawing inspiration from beyond our walls, we help connect the British Library with audiences across the UK and the world. We work hard, stay curious, and take pride in the impact of what we do.
