Creative Lead

£50,000 per annum

Role Overview:

With a design background, you’ll be familiar with developing brand identities, ideating creative concepts for ad campaigns, well-versed with website design, and up for getting into the nitty-gritty of the creative process to produce work we’re all proud of and excited by.

You’ll be the lead of the creative team, helping inspire great work and innovative concepts, whilst also being hands-on. You’ll be interested in ‘why’ we’re creating what we create, have a proactive mindset where you put ideas forward for opportunities the agency team has spotted, and be interested in how effective the work is.

We’re looking for someone who’s in their element coming up with ideas, comfortable presenting them to clients, and willing to aid and guide the team – not just the creatives, but also working with the strategists and account teams to identify the creative opportunities.

We work a lot with restaurants, pubs, hotels, and event venues – generally, you’ll work a lot with hospitality, food and drink brands – but we also have a few other clients in different industries to mix it up a bit.

In terms of prior experience, you’ll have worked in a senior role within an agency environment. You might be a well-versed freelancer wanting to have some more ownership, or you might be a senior creative looking to have a role that you can make your own without the glass ceiling of an existing CD or ECD.

That’s the vision: we want someone to further enhance our creative work and build the agency’s creative reputation alongside your own to eventually step up to Creative Director and beyond.

This is a hybrid role, with three days a week in our lovely studio space in The Paintworks in Bristol, two days at home.

You’ll have 25 days of holiday and your birthday off – as we all need to enjoy some R&R! For each year with us you’ll get an additional day’s holiday up to a maximum of 30 days.

We also have an annual £500 training allowance per person to help your progression, insightful masterclasses to share knowledge across the teams, ‘Healthy Habits’ wellness allowance, pension, Headspace subscription, a week each year where you can ‘work from anywhere’, increasing holidays with tenure, and a range of other PP perks.

Sound like something you’d be great at? Please email us with your interest at [email protected] along with some of the work you’re most proud of and a bit about you.
