DE+I training
No outsourcing. No losing control. No wastage. No hierarchy. No egos. We built strategy, creative and account management around a production core. We also wondered why media and creative were so far apart, so brought those together too. From humble beginnings, we now partner with some of the biggest consumer brands in the world, who are just as not normal as us.
We are passionate about promoting diversity, inclusion, and equality, and are committed to working with clients who share our outlook. Our focus at Recipe has always been on our people, protecting and building on our unique culture and never standing for “normal” work. We offer equal opportunities to all candidates regardless of background, identity, sexuality, and disability.
We strive to create inclusive cultures through our dedicated internal DE+I counsel. Our mission is for everyone to feel empowered to be their true authentic selves at work. In turn, we've developed a series of pledges and actions that serves as an evolving commitment to build on our sentiment that every employee is an ally, equality of opportunity for all, to listen, to speak out, and to always be actively inclusive.
APPLICATIONS
We are supportive of all candidates and are committed to providing a fair assessment process. If you have any circumstances (such as neurodiversity, physical or mental impairments or a medical condition) that may affect your assessment, please inform our Head of People. We will discuss possible adjustments to ensure fairness. Rest assured, disclosing this information will not impact your treatment in our process.

The Agency
Recipe
FANCY JOINING OUR GROWING TEAM…
BACKGROUND
We’re looking for like-minded people to join us for our next step of our exciting journey, who not only share our values but want to be part of a close-knit team who dare to challenge norms, do great work (and have fun along the way).
Recipe is one of the UK’s top 5 independent agencies (Campaign Top 100 2023) who are responsible for delivering advertising campaigns for clients such as Aussie, AutoTrader, Coca-Cola, Audible, Zurich, Sky Media, Channel 4 and New York Bakery Co. (to name a few). We cover all bases of marketing communications mix, from brand planning, to creative development, production and brand partnerships, social strategy and content creation. We also have a media team who are responsible for buying and planning over £6m (and growing) in advertising each year. We have a unique story that makes us different, we’re not normal. And proud. But what does that actually mean?
We didn’t start the normal way:
Well, first and foremost we weren't founded in a normal way. In 2004 three childhood friends started Recipe in a bedroom in Chiswick. They didn't come with years of industry experience, so they didn't come with any preconceived notions about how things "should be done". They had no Recipes to follow, so they wrote their own - for every client, every brief and every challenge they faced. We now are a talented tight team of 60+ and actively hiring for new talent.
We don’t make work the normal way:
Because we didn’t start in the normal way. We didn't and still don't work in a “normal” way. In fact we like to actively avoid it if we can. We've unbuilt walls between creative, media and production to allow us to offer integrated solutions that are fit for purpose, with consumers needs and behaviours at the heart, and effectiveness our north star. Then, and only then, we build teams, to suit our clients needs - cherry picked on their experience, skill sets, personality and passions.
We don’t make normal work:
Normal work is never as effective as you’d hope. Making work in the normal way is never as efficient. Just by looking at what other advertising is doing, what the expectations are, what those category generics are, and then playing with them a little to disrupt ‘norms’ is the secret ingredient to standing out - be it on TV, radio, print, outdoor or on social and digital channels. It’s why our creative ambition is to create work that’s impossible to ignore.
We’re a SME with a mighty punch, with a fun, entrepreneurial culture that is driven by our core values which define what we are, what we have and how we act.
