Job description

We have a fabulous opportunity for a conceptual Art Director and Designer to join a small but mighty global agency working across events, activations and experiential.

This is a brilliant opportunity for a Creative who loves crafting a strong visual narrative, storytelling and the human experience of a space. You’ll work closely alongside the Creative Director, playing a genuinely influential role in projects from the initial spark through to the development of compelling creative concepts.

The Creative Director has an exceptional track record for inspiring and nurturing creative talent, so you’ll have the opportunity to learn from someone who genuinely invests in their team. Add to that the chance to work with some of the world’s leading brands and you’ll have the opportunity to build a portfolio packed with ambitious and high-profile work.

The basics:

• Full-time, hybrid working, 3 days in the Central London studio. Therefore must be UK based.
• Initially 1 to 2 months freelance contract but ideally looking for someone to join the team permanently.
• Salary: around £40K

We’re looking for someone who can think beyond the obvious, someone who naturally visualises physical journeys, understands how people interact with environments and can turn a brief into an engaging, emotionally resonant experience.

You’ll be someone who:

• Is conceptually strong, curious and full of ideas
• Naturally thinks about how people move through, experience and interact with a space
• Understands the emotional side of events and what people should feel, remember and take away
• Can create strong visual stories and compelling presentations to bring ideas to life
• Enjoys collaborating with Creative Directors, strategists, designers and wider project teams
• Can confidently interpret a brief and push it somewhere more interesting
• Has an instinct for brand, culture, storytelling and experience
• Is comfortable presenting and articulating creative thinking to clients

What we need:

You must have come from an experiential, events, brand activation, advertising or design background and you'll have a portfolio that demonstrates strong conceptual thinking and the ability to turn an idea into an engaging experience.

A mid-level Creative with a brilliant imagination, a strong visual instinct and a real fascination with how people experience brands in the real world.

You don't need a pure 2D or 3D designer. We’re much more interested in how you think than whether you can model a space. But you must be confident visualising your ideas.

The agency itself is small and entrepreneurial, with a mighty client base and ambitious work across international markets. It’s the kind of environment where your ideas will be seen, heard and valued - rather than disappearing into a large creative department.

They are unable to offer sponsorship for this role and therefore you must have the right to work in the UK.

All successful candidates will be notified once the deadline has been reached.
