Creative Director (Social-First) | London | Up to £120,000
Location:
London (Hybrid)
Salary:
Up to £120,000 + Benefits
We're partnering with a leading creative agency to find an outstanding Social-First Creative Director to lead creative across one of the world's most recognisable FMCG brands.
This is an opportunity for a creative leader who understands that social isn't an extension of a campaign—it's where ideas begin. You'll be responsible for developing culturally relevant, platform-native creative that drives engagement, builds communities and delivers measurable business impact.
You'll lead a talented multidisciplinary team, shape the creative vision for a flagship FMCG client and work closely with strategists, producers and client partners to deliver best-in-class social campaigns across channels including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and beyond.
What we're looking for
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
