We're looking for a talented Mid-Weight Creative Designer to join our creative team.
This is an opportunity for a designer with exceptional creative craft who is equally at home designing brands, campaigns and communications as they are using the latest generative AI tools to transform the way creative work is produced.
As a studio, we're rapidly moving towards an AI-first workflow, with more than 60% of our creative process now powered by generative AI. This isn't an experimental role. We're looking for someone already operating at a professional level who can support the Head of Design to lead the next generation of creative production.
What you'll do:
- Create outstanding creative across print, advertising and integrated campaigns.
- Develop brand identities, visual systems and brand guidelines.
- Design event identities, exhibition stands, activations and supporting collateral.
- Create internal communication campaigns and activations.
- Bring to life brand and PR content across digital and social comms.
- Produce polished presentation decks and client-facing creative documents.
- Work closely with creative directors, copywriters and client teams to develop ideas from concept through to delivery.
- Bring fresh thinking, attention to detail and high creative standards to every project.
Essential AI expertise:
This is the most important part of the role as it will be the future of the design and communications industry.
You'll need to demonstrate expert-level ability using generative AI professionally, including:
- Advanced prompt engineering for creative and commercial applications.
- Expert image generation across multiple AI platforms, with a clear understanding of the strengths, weaknesses and outputs of each.
- AI workflow optimisation, particularly using Runway, Figma Weave or similar.
- AI image editing, compositing, enhancement and retouching.
- AI upscaling and production-ready asset creation.
- AI film generation and editing.
- Using AI to visualise events, exhibitions, retail environments and experiential concepts.
- Integrating AI seamlessly into a fast-paced creative studio workflow while maintaining exceptional design quality.

If you're passionate about design, proven in generative AI, and want to help define the future of agency creativity, then you already sound like you have what it takes to be a Maverick. So, we’d love to hear from you.
About Us:
We build brands people want to be part of and your customers believe in. In other words, we work Inside & Out.
Inside organisations, we create employee engagement, culture, learning and internal communications that inspire people to live the brand every day.
Outside, we build brands through advertising, brand strategy, PR, social, content, film, events and sponsorship.
We believe great brands need to keep their promise twice. First inside the organisation, through people who understand it, believe in it and bring it to life. Then out in the world, through marketing that excites and surprises customers into action. That's why we're built differently, bringing internal and external communications together under one roof, with one integrated team working across both sides.
We're proudly independent, which means we're free to challenge convention, think differently and pursue the ideas that create the greatest impact for our clients, internally, out in the world, and commercially.
The same mindset drives the way we work. We're investing heavily in generative AI and transforming our creative studio around AI-enabled workflows. We're looking for people who are excited to help shape what a next generation creative agency looks like, combining exceptional design craft with proven, leading-edge AI capability.
If you're already leading the way in AI and are ambitious and excited by where it could head next, you'll fit right in.
