THE ROLE

You will own the full creative function across every client project and our own brand. That means two things at once: you set the creative strategy, and you make the work.

This is not a role for someone who wants to direct from a distance, and it is not a pure production seat either. Roughly 40% of your week is strategy — researching markets and competitors, building creative angles, planning testing roadmaps with our media buying team. The other 60% is doing — designing static ads, writing scripts, briefing and directing UGC creators, and producing organic content that makes our company impossible to ignore.

You will work directly alongside our senior media buyer. He owns campaign structure and performance; you own the creative inputs that fuel it. Together you are accountable for results.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Creative strategy (40%)

  • Own the creative strategy for every ad account — hooks, angles, formats, and messaging built from real market and competitor research, not guesswork.
  • Build and maintain a creative testing roadmap per client with the media buying team, so every new creative has a job to do.
  • Review creative performance weekly (hook rate, CTR, thumb-stop, conversion) and feed learnings straight back into the next batch.
  • Set and hold the creative standard across the agency — the benchmark is top-tier social-first agencies, and everything we ship should look like it.

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.

WHO YOU ARE

  • Hungry. You want to build a creative department around yourself, not inherit one.
  • Proven in paid social creative — you can show ads you made and the performance behind them.

  • A natural scriptwriter who understands hooks, pacing, and why people stop scrolling.
  • Comfortable directing other people — UGC creators, freelancers, clients on a shoot.
  • Obsessed with what great looks like: you study the best social-first agencies and brands, and it shows in your work.
  • Organised and deadline-driven — 10 creatives a week per client does not happen by accident.

BONUS POINTS

  • Motion graphics / After Effects skills.
  • Experience using AI tools to speed up ideation and production.
  • You've grown an organic social account (brand or personal) and can prove it.
