Job description

We’re a social-first, end-to-end content production agency working with ambitious global brands across entertainment, gaming, and culture. Since 2008, we’ve built a digital-first offering that blends strong creative thinking with channel expertise to deliver work that performs.

We’re a values-driven agency that believes great work comes from supported people. That means rapid progression, industry-leading benefits, and a culture consistently recognised as one of Campaign’s Best Places to Work.

The Role

We’re looking for a Junior 2D/3D Motion Creative to join our expanding motion team, working closely with Motion Designers, Creatives, and Video Editors across a range of social and campaign-led projects, with a strong focus on mobile gaming.

This role is ideal for someone early in their career who’s passionate about 3D motion and character animation in Blender, but who’s also comfortable flexing into 2D motion design. You’ll be developing your craft across both disciplines, building confidence, speed, and creative judgement in a fast-paced studio environment.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Creating 3D motion content using Blender, with a particular focus on character animation, modelling, scene building and texturing.
• Supporting projects that combine 3D, 2D motion, and graphic design
• Animating for social-first formats, paid media and short-form storytelling
• Working from creative direction and storyboards, while contributing ideas and solutions
• Collaborating closely with designers, animators, and producers
• Learning how to adapt work across different platforms, formats, and audiences
• Taking on feedback positively and iterating work to a high standard

Requirements

Essential Skills & Experience

• Strong working knowledge of Blender, with a clear interest in character animation
• Ability to create or adapt 2D motion using After Effects
• Working knowledge of the Adobe creative suite
• A solid understanding of design fundamentals - layout, typography, colour, composition, and visual hierarchy
• Good animation principles: timing, easing, weight, and clarity
• A portfolio that shows strong creative potential and technical execution
• Passion for gaming, animation, and social/creative trends
• A positive, collaborative attitude and eagerness to learn

Nice to Have

• Experience with rigging characters (or desire to improve in this area)
• Basic understanding of social formats and digital-first content
• Interest in sound, editing, or storytelling
• Experience in other 3D Software like C4D or Maya

You’ll Thrive Here If You Are

• Curious, ambitious, and keen to grow your skills across 2D and 3D
• Comfortable asking questions and learning from feedback
• Organised and able to manage your time with guidance
• Excited by fast-paced creative environments and collaborative work
• Passionate about games, animation, and motion design

Benefits
