You are a creative designer with a vital decision to make. At the junior/midweight level, with talent and some experience, a designer’s next career step must be right. You probably recognise that it feels really important to go where you can hone your craft, partner with award-winners, and dive into varied work on good brands in a ‘winning’ agency culture. Those roles are rare. Is this one of them?

A very progressive agency, one helping to define the direction of the industry, has briefed us to search for a new member of their design team. This role, newly opened, will see the junior or midweight designer who gets it work across all accounts, on both print and digital projects, without pointless limits or silos.

The integrated and digital-friendly agency is very well known, ranking well in the Sunday Times Best Companies to Work For as well as boasting an enviable high-profile client roster that includes lifestyle brands, cultural organisations, luxury marques, technology innovators, digital disruptors, charities and blue chips. The range and nuance of the work here is profoundly impressive for designers who want to safeguard the future of their careers.

The agency is medium-sized (150-300 people range), based in one of London’s central creative hubs, and bursting with innovation and enthusiasm. It is well supported by its clients and partners, and is one of the best places to blossom into a senior designer with your pick of next direction.

We’d like to find someone with about 2 years of agency experience, great at typography and passionate about the craft. Someone who knows they’re good, but has equal certainty about their need and ability to improve. If you’d like to talk to us about becoming a member of this team, or one like it, please get in touch now.

I am looking for an experienced Frontend Developer for my client to help them build the future of brand trust.

This is an exciting and challenging role within a growing team, supporting a rapidly evolving platform. You will start as the only interface developer in the team and as such, you will need to be able to balance attention to detail and maintaining quality in a rapidly changing codebase with a pragmatic approach to shipping improvements and features.

With an interest in sustainability and future facing technologies, you will have hands-on experience in developing responsive (mobile first) web interfaces, implementing component-based architectures, working with templating languages and writing unobtrusive Javascript. You will approach new technologies with excitement and will very quickly have the opportunity to interact with our blockchain infrastructure as part of this role.

You will be reporting to the CTO with daily interactions with the rest of the product team (designers, developers and community engagement team) working in two week Agile sprints.

They are working at the intersection of physical and digital along product supply chains (mostly in food, drinks, but also fashion and furniture).

• Proactive bug fixing and improvements to ensure our users have a great experience using our tools
• Refactoring to ensure the codebase grows in a consistent, maintainable way
• Ensuring interfaces work well across modern browsers

Your profile:

• Experienced front-end web application developer (at least 3 years building products and services on the web)
• Strong knowledge of core web technologies: HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript
• Familiarity with modern Javascript (ideally exposure to ES6 and React) – comfortable with vanilla JS rather than just jQuery
• Experience using front-end build tools (e.g. gulp, yarn, webpack)
• Comfortable working with templating languages (e.g. ERB) within a full-stack web application (e.g. Ruby on Rails)
• A passion for creating beautiful, simple experiences to help users achieve complex tasks
• Familiarity with web standards and best practices for fast load times and accessibility
• Understanding of SEO and marketing analytics best practices
• Great interpersonal skills and an open attitude to collaborating daily with designers, marketing colleagues and other engineers
• Comfortable prototyping ideas and iterating them based on user feedback

• Strong visual and aesthetic sense

Benefits:

• Working directly with businesses and organisations trying to make global supply chains fairer and more sustainable. Social impact is core to the business.

A few short words

You – Associate Creative Director and master copywriter? Think big and write well? Apply fast. Stand tall, write short. Put high-powered words in very high places. Be a highly placed hyper-creative not a hyperactive. Show you’re familial, familiar with family tone, with a sharp mind that wears talent lightly. Become the pen-wielding creative on a (D&AD) pencil-boasting team, and help draw even bigger audiences and successes. This is a role for an Associate Creative Director with a writer’s mastery.

One of the most renowned global accounts at one of the most recognised agencies is creating a new role, an Associate Creative Director who will work directly with the established ECD and existing, award-winning creatives to run with recent success. Do you have, or are you ready to take on, this kind of role? If you’re a naturally positive person, inspiring with your ideas and able to demonstrate writing for family- or kids-oriented tones of voice then this could be ideal. It’s a great role. Find out if it’s yours.

The Agency

The potential new home is a global consumer engagement agency, experts in building brands through a sophisticated mix of interaction, experience, creative technology and product creation. As this role is working largely with the agency’s most important client, you can look forward to joining a team embedded with a high-performance culture that, while effective, remains collegiate and supportive. This role is part of a huge injection of enthusiasm and resources, including senior leadership hires, internal structure tweaks and technology investment.

The Work

Projects and deliverables are varied. The key is the family-oriented nature of the client’s brand and your crucial contribution to that. More specifically, however, you’ll:

– Help to lead the conceptual team, inspiring with your own idea generation and analysing team campaign ideas

– Write copy for campaign, brand and tone of voice guidelines

– Write campaigns, promotional, packaging, social media, email and website copy, plus in-store material

– Develop in-depth relationships with designated senior clients, acting as overall brand guardian

A Bit More About You

– FMCG experience, including working with family brands and delivering copy that connects to kids is essential

– Ideally an award-winning creative

– Insight-drive brand building ideas across multiple channels

– Experience working with licensors and third parties, e.g. film/content licenses, is ideal but not essential

If this role, or roles like it, are interesting then please apply here to discuss things in more detail.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

Are you a senior designer tempted by a new role on an award-winning team? This is a senior designer gig with an enviably elegant, award-winning agency. The work is mainly design-led branding, content & positioning for world-class tech companies seeking to outclass sleepy competitors. These people manage to be professional without forgetting how to have some fun, with design and each other.

WHAT WILL I DO?

As a senior you’ll join an effective existing design team, a mix of seniors and not-quite-seniors with artworker support. The team produces a muscular variety of classy branding, identity, web and content projects that tend to emphasise design innovation and digital integration. If you get a place here, you’ll design across multiple channels from concept to final deliverables, so promoting your hands-on technical skills as well as Art Director chops would help your application. The Adobe suite tools are vital of course, but any additional expertise with After Effects, Cinema 4D and Premier could be significant as well.

NOT PURE DIGITAL, BUT VERY DIGITAL FRIENDLY

This isn’t a pure Digital Designer role (although they are recruiting for that profile too, so get in touch if you are one and haven’t seen that ad). However, the entire agency leans digital, so a book of thought-provoking, beautiful work that is heavily digital in format is the best way to impress here. Experience in prototyping and testing design ideas, as well as obvious core general design principles is very important. Proven experience creating and delivering design that works across responsive web packages is equally so.

HOW MUCH BETTER WILL I GET?

Progression is important. You’ll almost certainly acquire or develop more technical skills, as well as tuning your leadership and mentoring instincts. There are no total beginners here, but guiding more junior designers and specialist freelancers enhances your abilities as well as theirs; Senior Designers who can lead projects teams or grow into someone that will is crucial to this role.

HOW ELSE CAN I IMPRESS?

– Decent branding experience

– Plenty of passion, not only about how things look, but how they work and feel.

– Impressive cultural awareness, strong at producing content for social media.

– At least 5 years experience working in a digital creative agency.

– Experience of art directing photographers.

– Familiarity with industry standard UX and UI design and prototyping tools; Sketch, Figma,

Adobe XD and InVision, Zeplin…

Attitude and temperament are crucial: we’ve no room or an over-precious prima donna or a 9-5er. That said, we do work hard but are not a sweat shop. Someone who is happy to have their ‘comfort zone’ pushed, and to work positively (with support) in unstructured and fuzzy situations will get the most from working here.

Our new team member will need to be a proactive selfstarter articulate, pragmatic, reliable and ‘grown-up for ‘their age’.

What experience will they have (ideally)

We are looking for the right person, not the right experience, but as a guide they’ll probably have a minimum of five years experience, ideally some of which

should have been spent in a top agency/consultancy or smaller scale ‘studio’ outfit.

They’ll have already worked on larger size, longer running projects and proved they are a good team player. Ideally, they’ll also know how to take a job forward to repro and print and have contributed to ‘digital first’ type projects too. Audio-visual experience (scripting/storyboarding identity presentations and brand story films) would be a bonus, but are by no means essential.
