Job description
If you sweat the details others miss – if good design genuinely bothers you and "that'll do" just isn't an option – we want to hear from you.
You'll have real agency experience, a portfolio that shows genuine craft, and the kind of attention to detail that means you notice things other people walk past. You care about the finish as much as the idea. Experience in sport, sports betting or gaming would put you right in the mix.
What you'll be doing:
As part of our creative team you'll be shaping and delivering work for major clients across some of the most competitive, high-profile categories in advertising.
• Take projects from concept through to production, consistently and to a high standard
• Expand and refine ideas to make them stronger
• Bring craft obsession to every job, big or small
• Work closely with account and planning teams to land ideas that actually do something
• Present confidently to clients and CDs alike
What we're looking for:
• A designer with genuine craft – concept and execution
• A master of the Adobe Suite – InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop are second nature to you
• A clear communicator who can sell an idea as well as make one
• Resilient, curious and hungry – the best designers never stop pushing
• A collaborative team player who works closely with creatives at every level to make the whole greater than the sum of its parts
• Someone with a passion for sport and/or gaming
If you're ready to get stuck into big ideas and make work you're proud to shout about, send your CV and portfolio to
[email protected] with 'Designer' in the subject line.
Applications close 20th May.
