Immediate start
Mr B & Friends is a Bristol and London-based agency with clients range from exciting tech start-ups to global brands.
With a full-time staff of around 20 people, we’re well placed to handle large, complex projects entirely in-house, while still feeling like the energised, supportive team we’ve been from the start.
If it’s glory you’re after, then we win plenty of industry awards including the likes of The Drum and the Transform Awards. But for us, it’s a bi-product – our real focus is building great relationships with clients who come to us for exciting and effective work.
If you really want to ‘get’ our culture, then you have to understand our brand positioning – Never Ordinary. It’s the lens we apply to everything we do. Exceptional thinking, beautifully executed.
Oh, and the Friends in our name? Not spin. We’re all here because we love collaborating with creative thinkers, supporting each other, and having fun along the way. Egos are left at the door.
Please note: This role is for an immediate start, so isn’t suitable for people needing to work notice from a current position. It is also open only to those who already have the right to work in the UK.
