Starting in August
We're looking for a Social first Art Director with BIG idea conceptual creative thinking for social with deep platform-specific understanding. It's a role where you'll put the audience first, with bold innovative and experimental ideas in a social first environment. The right person will help to reshape how a major organisation talks to the public across Instagram, YouTube, TikTok amongst other social channels. We're looking for a solo Art Director / Social Creative who is comfortable partnering up with a conceptual creative writer on briefs.
You’ll work on social concepts that anchor entire campaigns, taking important subjects that could feel quite official and turning them into visually engaging ideas and content that people stop for on their feed.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you'll do
- Working alongside a writer and other creatives, you'll shape the big creative swings from scratch, building ideas that hold up whether they're running as paid ads, organic posts, or creator content.
- You'll sketch, board, and mood-board your way to a clear visual direction before a single frame is shot, whether it’s built for a TikTok trend or a totally different look and feel for a polished YouTube piece.
- You'll build out visuals for pitch decks that help convince senior decision makers to back braver ideas.
- Act as the final check on visual quality across everything the team touches.
- Work hand-in-hand with production, designers, editors, and camera teams to make sure what gets made matches what you pictured.
What you'll bring
- A portfolio that shows your big idea thinking, with social platform thinking; we want to see the problem and how you solved it, not just the polished result.
- Experience working in a creative pairing or as a lone creative developing concepts for joined-up or social campaigns.
- Ability to flip comfortably between something scrappy and authentic and something highly produced and cinematic.
- Live and breathe what's happening online right now: trends, formats, memes, edits, likely from time spent in social or integrated creative agency or newsroom content style environments.
- Strong Adobe Creative Cloud skills are required.
- Confident deck-building in Slides or PowerPoint.
- Prior AD/CW pairing experience, motion, or illustration skills, and a sharp eye for platform-specific formats would all be a bonus.
