Job Title: Creative Strategist @ High-Growth Retail Brand
Location: Central London (3 days in-office)
Job Type: Full-Time, Permanent
Salary: £60,000 - £70,000 base + bonus + incentives, DOE
A fast-growing, challenger D2C brand is looking for a Creative Strategist to join their high-performing growth team and help drive the next phase of paid social creative.
The business has built a genuine reputation for producing some of the best-performing DTC creative in the UK, with a lean, ambitious team behind it. They're now looking to add another strong strategist into the mix to keep that momentum going.
This is a hands-on, hybrid role for someone who's just as comfortable developing ad concepts as they are getting in front of the camera or into the edit to bring them to life. You'll work closely with a highly experienced creative lead and play a key role in shaping test-and-learn creative across Meta and TikTok.
If you're entrepreneurial, love owning things end-to-end, and want to be part of a brand that's already proven its product-market fit and is scaling fast, this is a brilliant next step.
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.
