About Us
Emperor is a leading, full service corporate communications agency. Proudly independent and with a long heritage of nearly 30 years we are well known in the world of reporting but now in London over 50% of our work is in other areas. These include brand, employee engagement, campaigns, digital (including websites) and moving image and content production. We have a wide range of mainly B2B clients – ranging from large FTSE 100 clients to smaller clients such as regional law firms.
What makes Emperor a great place to work springs from the fact that we are employee-owned. This means employees have a strong voice in how we are run. We have retained our commitment to hybrid working and flexible working hours. Our culture is fair and based on trust, with a good work and home balance.
The Role
We expect each of our annual reporting and creative Designers to bring something extra to the table. This starts with you actively engaging with your briefs to get a clear understanding of what’s really being asked of you, and where you can push things creatively to get the best results.
- You’re not only able to interpret the insights, information and research given to you in a brief but develop them, expand on them and use them to shape a well-executed creative response.
- You can articulate your ideas clearly to your colleagues, with some preparation, you’re comfortable speaking intelligently about them to a wider audience.
- You know what makes your work impactful and you can prove why it’s good.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Delivering extra means using your initiative and being confident enough to explore and try out different solutions. You bring this ‘self-starter’ mentality, along with a willingness to learn new skills and take on unfamiliar tasks. You’re always looking to improve further.
We expect designers to be curious about the world, passionate about design, eager to push creativity and happy to get stuck in to support your team. While your work will speak for itself, you’ll need the communication skills to build the trust and respect of colleagues and clients.
