Great conceptual work a must (more about story-telling and fresh ideas; less about digital innovation – which itself is a nice to have) – big ideas.

Sports knowledge and passion important with a leaning to football.

Must know and understand the culture that surrounds sports/football and how it interjects with the audience – music, sneakers, fashion, style, design – and understand the appeal and culture of athletes.

Must have a good understanding of the media the urban 14-20 year old global audience digest – heavy focus on IG, less so Twitter/FB.

Sports/football related work a nice to have but not essential.

The role is 90% as a creative team who want to do the best work of their lives in a hard-working, tight knit crack-unit team – the other 10% might see the writer take on small copy briefs for social media, app cards, etc.

The writer needs to have a great command of English and be down with the tone of voice.

The art director – would be nice if they were fairly sufficient in photoshop/illustrator for visuals and presentation decks.

Looking for a team with experience of actually making working – production know-how is important (we make a lot of work, do a lot of shoots) – people that want to make, not just throw big ideas into the ether.

This is not a brief to find social media/digital-only story tellers – high level, big-idea story-telling is a must. A team that understands the power of Brand but know how young people see, view and experience both their own brand and brands in the world.
