Job description

Company Description

We’re a values-based business built around a philosophy of DO | FEEL | THINK. For our people, it encourages them to DO IT, to FEEL BELONGING and to THINK INDEPENDENTLY, creating a vibrant environment where our people can do the best work of their careers. We use DO | FEEL | THINK to inspire our clients too. We want clients to show their values to the world through the acts they create digitally and in real life, helping to generate greater emotional connection with their products and brands, and creating audience relationships built on true Belief. How do we do it? By connecting the modern key Belief drivers of PR, Sustainability, Employer Brand, and Digital Influence – all crucial to helping businesses win in our increasingly values-based world. It all adds up to a vision of creating a progressive and connected creative agency that helps clients find new ways to grow.

Our Commitment

Diversity and inclusion are a core part of who we are at MSL. We’re committed to building an inclusive culture that encourages, celebrates, and supports our wonderfully diverse employee group—whatever their age, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, physical or mental ability, or ethnicity. Diversity and inclusion don’t just fuel our creativity and innovation; they bring us closer to our people and audiences. We will continue to strive to create a culture and environment where everyone feels empowered and, more importantly, comfortable enough to bring their full, authentic selves to work.

Job Description

We’re looking for a hands-on creative force of nature. Someone who leads with ideas but knows how to bring them to life — across earned, social, digital, experiential, and influencer channels. If you love making culturally resonant work that gets people talking, sharing, and remembering, this is your stage.

At MSL, you’ll be working on some of the world’s most iconic brands, crafting campaigns that cut through and start conversations. You’ll lead projects from pitch to production, mentor junior creatives, and bring a spark of energy and clarity to every room you present in.

Responsibilities

• Leading integrated, earned-first campaigns from insight to execution
• Dreaming up big ideas that travel across culture and media
• Collaborating with strategists, producers, and PR leads to shape standout work
• Presenting and pitching creative work with clarity, energy, and confidence
• Mentoring junior creatives and helping shape the next generation of talent
• Contributing to new business and championing creative culture
• Owning the craft — from social copy to shoot direction to pitch decks

Qualifications

• 6–8+ years of agency-side creative experience (PR experience a major plus)
• A portfolio of award-winning, headline-making, culture-shaping work
• A maker’s mindset — you’re not just an ideas person, you get things done
• Confidence in presenting and defending ideas to clients and stakeholders
• Experience mentoring and a genuine passion for helping others grow
• A team-first attitude — no egos, just great collaborators
• A sharp instinct for culture — you know what’s now, what’s next, and how to own the moment
