Small but perfectly formed independent creative agency, making beautiful work – needs a talented Business Development Manager.

Offering clients uncluttered access to senior strategic and creative thinking, they work with a number of exciting accounts, in diverse sectors including automotive, entertainment and charity.

The role:

To support their ongoing growth, they are now looking for a full-time new business manager to secure new opportunities. Just as they bring in the best strategy and creative talent, they’re looking for a proven new business specialist to help – someone with demonstrable experience in driving new business for agencies. With the support of the four business owners, you’ll be responsible for all aspects of the new business programme from list generation, pipeline growth/maintenance and securing meetings.

The person:

Ultimately, someone who is passionate about building agency businesses, someone who is single minded about getting results and genuinely interested in the creative industry. The right person will have a good understanding of the industry, able to talk intelligently about different types of work and able to identify opportunities in a brand’s business where the agency offer may help. You’re not expected to be able to do the work, but you’ll need to talk convincingly about it to potential clients.

At the risk of sounding like something from The Apprentice, the person will also need to be something of a self-starter. This isn’t because you’ll be left to sink or swim (you won’t, promise), but there’ll be many occasions when you just need to get on with stuff and create your own work.

A wonderful opportunity for a midweight designer, from an integrated advertising background, to join one of the fastest-growing and most exciting agencies in London.

You will be the agency’s first pure designer and will work alongside the head of Design, overseeing and being brand guardian for the agency’s biggest account, as well as working across their other clients when required.

You will be used to working under pressure, in a fast-paced studio with the ability to take control of projects and see them through to final print without getting flustered. Working with the Head of Design and Creative Services Manager you will be a pivotal part of the team, able to add valuable design flair, conceptual input and technical prowess, you will be working on through the line campaigns, ranging from traditional ATL/OOH through to social and content.

Knowledge of After Effects would be a massive bonus as well as being well versed in using Illustrator and Photoshop to a high level. The client will be looking through your folio to see what you are capable of creating under tight guidelines, as well as getting a feel for your own personal styles, tastes and influences.

This is a rare opportunity to join an agency that is truly growing places, and coming on-board at a time of rapid and exciting growth.
