Senior, Copy-led Creative Director
I'm looking for a senior, copy-led Creative Director for an ambitious independent creative agency.
About the Role
It's a leadership role, but it won't take you away from the work.
You'll lead major client relationships and creative teams while remaining hands-on – developing concepts, finding the organising idea, writing and shaping narratives and scripts, and working alongside Art Directors and Designers to take ideas through to delivery.
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.
