The day-to-day

As a Creative in this team, your primary responsibility is to the work.

• Crafting best-in-class, cutting edge, insightful social work that puts people first.
• Protecting the ideas and our client’s social accounts, the craft and artistry that goes into them, working on multiple projects at any one time, ensuring all deadlines are met and budgets adhered to.
• Championing the work.
• Being a strong conceptual thinker who can turn audience, cultural and behavioural insights into compelling social-first creative ideas.
• Demonstrating original thinking rather than simply participating in trends, with work that shows a clear progression from strategic insight to creative concept, designed specifically for digital and social platforms.
• Being curious about emerging technologies, with an understanding of AI tools, APIs, automation and digital platforms, and how these can be used to unlock new creative opportunities, build smarter workflows and create ideas, experiences and content that wouldn't otherwise be possible.
• Working across the full spectrum of projects, from content ideation and creation to platform strategy, campaign development and managing shoots.
• Being curious, motivated and excited by creativity, culture and the evolving digital landscape, bringing that energy into the team and inspiring those around you.
• Liaising with other Creatives and ACD/CDs within the business, maintaining an open and honest dialogue.
• Seeking inspiration beyond advertising, immersing yourself in culture, and bringing new references, ideas and perspectives back to the team.
• Nurturing creativity, seeking it out and celebrating it within the teams and the agency as a whole.
• Evangelising creativity within the team – helping people understand, appreciate and fall in love with creativity.
• Working on new business pitches, assisting on the pitch itself, and in clearing the decks for those that are working on them, back filling roles with internal or external support, and managing deadlines to ensure we meet the needs of existing clients.

Job Purpose
