Responsibilities

• You will develop ideas and art direct across both agency brands, working alongside senior designers, brand specialists, video producers, strategists and account managers. Briefs span advertising, campaigns, brand, digital, print, packaging, retail and film, from concept through to finished execution.
• This is a hands-on creative role, with support around you when you need it.
• You find the idea. You turn briefs and strategic thinking into creative routes, campaign ideas and visual concepts.
• You make the idea real. Art direction, design, image-making, typography, film.
• You challenge the brief. Ask questions, spot opportunities, bring routes nobody asked for.
• You care about the final detail. You take responsibility for the quality of what leaves the agency. Work that goes out wrong costs the client money and costs us trust.

Requirements

• At least 18 months in a creative agency.
• Ideas first. You look for the thought behind the brief and enjoy developing routes and concepts.
• A portfolio with ideas in it. Show us how you got from brief to idea and what you personally contributed.
• A good eye and a strong creative instinct. You care about typography, composition, image and tone.
• Comfortable enough with Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign to bring your thinking to life, but we care more about what you do with the tools than how many you know.
• Confident with critique. You can explain your thinking and improve the work without getting precious.
• Built for pace, with strong time management and personal accountability.
• Curious about the client's business, why they need the work and what it needs to achieve.

Benefits

• 25 days plus bank holidays, increasing with service.
• Penfold pension.
• Life insurance.
• Profit share.
• Employee of the Quarter and Year Awards.
