Job Description :

Do you live and breathe creativity and design? Can you turn an ordinary idea into something extraordinary—something that stops scrolling, sparks conversation, and drives engagement? If so, let’s talk.



At Havas Red, we’re on a mission to create thumb-stopping, eye catching content and creative that works across every channel: social, web, video, AI, you name it. This is your chance to be at the heart of global campaigns, working with some of the biggest brands in the world.



You will work with a team consisting of content strategists, creators, and producers, and to work closely with the wider PR and brand experience teams across both Red Havas nationally (we have offices in London and Manchester) and globally to create first class work for our clients.



If you have a passion for creating work that people value and delivers value for clients, then we are the right place for you. If you don’t want to be boxed into one medium, and typecast by comms discipline, and are excited about a role that stretches you into a vast array of directions, then we’re definitely for you.



Havas Red is a huge focus for Havas’ Global network, of which the UK, having far exceeded its annual targets since opening in the UK back in 2018, is a major component, so the opportunity for growth and opportunity for the right candidate is immense, bearing in mind that the role always includes working on our global client portfolio, which further expands the scope of the role.
