The opportunity

This is a brilliant one. A fast growing, creatively led experiential agency is looking for a Senior Creative to take full ownership of one of its most important accounts, a major global drinks brand.

It's a brand new role. Right now the account sits with senior leadership and freelance support, and they want someone genuinely excellent to come in and own it end to end, freeing the leadership team up to focus on growth. You'll be the lead creative across a huge and varied programme of sponsorship and hospitality activations at major international sporting events, plus a steady stream of smaller spin off projects through the year.

You'll sit within a dedicated account team of around 15, working alongside a second creative, account managers and production. You'll have real client facing responsibility from day one.

What you'll be doing

• Owning the full creative process from start to finish: taking briefs, developing concepts, producing scamps and building out full design intent packs including plans, sections, elevations, reflected ceiling plans, material and finish schedules and setting out drawings
• Modelling and visualising in 3D, then producing photoreal renders and walkthroughs to sell the idea into the client
• Leading a major programme of sponsorship and hospitality activations, with several headline events a year plus a busy calendar of smaller and spin off work
• Getting properly under the skin of the client's brand, sponsorship strategy and guest experience, then turning that into standout design
• Designing to real world constraints: venue restrictions, build and de-rig windows, load in access, health and safety, sustainability and reuse of stock elements across the calendar
• Working hand in hand with production on buildability, materials, budgets and value engineering, so what you design actually gets made
• Building strong, trusted relationships with the client and leading creative presentations yourself
• Supporting new business pitches for around a quarter of your time, with a focus on exhibitions, tech, iGaming and esports

Systems and software you'll be using

• 3D modelling and technical drawing in 3ds Max, SketchUp, VectorWorks, AutoCAD or Rhino, whichever is your weapon of choice
• Rendering and visualisation using V-Ray, Corona, Enscape, Twinmotion or Lumion
• Adobe Creative Suite day to day, mainly Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign for presentations and pitch decks
• Working knowledge of modular exhibition and build systems such as Aluvision, beMatrix, Octanorm or Syma
• Familiarity with rigging, AV and lighting principles so your designs stack up technically

About you

• Currently a Senior Creative or Senior Designer within a brand experience, events or exhibition agency
• Comfortable taking a project from brief all the way through to final design intent pack, not just the concept stage
• Strong technical drawing skills alongside the creative thinking, you're as happy in a setting out drawing as you are in a moodboard
• Experience with modular exhibition or build systems is a real plus, and exhibition designers looking to move into experiential are very welcome to apply
• A hands on creative who wants to be doing the work, not directing it from a distance
• Proactive and collaborative, someone who brings energy and ideas into the studio and genuinely enjoys being part of a close knit team
• Agency background rather than in house or production only is important here
• Full ownership of a brand new role and one of the agency's most exciting accounts
• Real variety, from major international activations to fast turnaround spin off projects
• A collaborative, energetic studio where creatives are encouraged to contribute beyond their own projects
• Genuine client facing exposure and the chance to build your own relationships from scratch
• A growing agency with ambitions to push further into exhibitions and conferencing
