Job description

Brief Overview

If you’re after another cookie‑cutter agency gig, this probably isn’t for you.

But if you want to be part of one of Manchester’s most talked‑about creative shops — where bold ideas, brave design and serious brand thinking come together, do read on.

This place has serious creative pedigree. Think award‑winning campaigns, stand‑out design, and a client list that spans sport, food, drink, lifestyle and beyond. From identity and packaging to digital, social and experiential — nothing they do is dull, and nothing is done by half.

The vibe

The culture? Genuinely collaborative.

The people? Talented, down‑to‑earth, and allergic to egos.

The leadership? Hands‑off — they’ll back you, trust you, and give you space to grow.

You’ll be right in the thick of it : working across a mix of brands (big names and challenger upstarts), getting stuck into projects from concept to delivery, and surrounded by strategists, designers, creatives and digital minds who know their stuff, and want to share it.

What you’ll need

• Some solid agency experience under your belt (you get how the creative process works).
• A genuine love for brands, design, and ideas that make people feel something.
• The ability to manage multiple projects, ask smart questions, and keep things moving.
• You’re not hung up on titles & more about just doing good work with good people.
• Bonus points if you’ve worked across brand strategy, packaging, digital or social.

You’ll also need to be sound. Simple as that. Someone who brings positive energy, has their clients’ backs, and takes pride in the details.

What’s in it for you?

• Around £28–29k depending on experience
• A CV‑boosting agency name
• Genuinely interesting projects and clients
• Proper support without micromanagement
• A culture where people stay (because they’re happy, not stuck)

If you’re looking for somewhere that will push you creatively, treat you like an adult, and give you room to level up, this is it.
