Who are Coolr?

We’re an independent social media agency and team of creatives, social experts, content publishers, and change makers. Completely wired into popular culture, our work connects brands with their audiences at scale. With clients such as Burger King, Lidl, Deliveroo, and Compare the Market (to name drop a few), our aim is to be the biggest social agency in the world.

The agency is growing at a rapid rate, but we’re only just getting started. In 2026, we have ambitious plans to truly become the stand-out social agency in the UK, the US, and beyond. We have a strong platform for growth and have made great strides forward – now we really want to take things to the next level.

About The Role

We're looking for a Creative Director to join Coolr and help shape the agency's future. Available as either a permanent role or an initial 3–6 month fixed-term contract, this position will focus on driving growth through standout pitch work, agency propositions, and new business opportunities.

Working closely with the Growth team, you'll lead the creative development of pitches, credentials, and proactive opportunities, turning commercial challenges into compelling ideas that help us win. We're looking for someone who can spot opportunities, build persuasive narratives, and inspire teams to deliver best-in-class social-first thinking.

Following successful wins, there is a clear pathway to lead key client relationships and creative output across retained accounts. You'll be comfortable influencing senior stakeholders, leading multidisciplinary teams, and helping shape the agency's creative direction.

The job 💻

New Business & Growth

  • Lead the creative development of major pitch responses from brief through to presentation.
  • Partner closely with the Growth, Strategy, and Leadership teams to identify and convert new business opportunities.
  • Create standout creative platforms, campaign ideas, and social-first propositions that differentiate Coolr from competitors.
  • Shape agency credentials, case studies, and marketing materials to elevate how Coolr presents itself externally.
  • Develop proactive opportunities and thought leadership initiatives that create conversations with prospective clients.
  • Help identify emerging categories, brands, and opportunities where Coolr can win.
  • Support senior leadership in defining agency positioning and future growth strategy.
  • Build compelling pitch narratives that connect business challenges, audience insights, and creative solutions.
  • Lead pitch presentations and represent Coolr confidently in senior client meetings.
  • Collaborate closely with Presentation Designers and Strategists to ensure every pitch feels world-class.

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.
