About Topham Guerin
Topham Guerin are the global influence experts. Our teams work across London, New York, Sydney and Auckland, delivering social media, digital communications, content and campaigns for clients in the UK and internationally.
You'll work on campaigns for global brands, government and public sector organisations, and high-profile institutions.
The Role
You’re an experienced designer that has spent significant time working on advertising and digital communications, and preferably has strong social media experience.
You have experience applying and also creating design guidelines. At the same time we're looking for creative flair - evidence you push visual design and campaign ideas beyond the predictable. And you can also sell your work too, building arguments for your work that win clients over.
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.
You’re an authority on best practice, across channels and formats. And when required you manage and lead other members of the Creative team on the more technical aspects of design.
Because digital is our bread and butter, you should also ‘get’ social media. You’ll understand what makes something work in a feed, how design changes across platforms and why social-first creative is different from traditional advertising.
While design will be your domain, we’re looking for someone with range. You should be comfortable flexing into web design. Motion and video skills are also beneficial. And we’re embracing AI across our creative workflow. So you should be experimenting with how new tools can help you explore ideas, move faster and produce better work.
Requirements
- 10+ years’ design experience in advertising, marketing, branding or a related creative environment
- Strong design fundamentals and excellent attention to detail
- A portfolio showing strong craft and creative thinking across a range of formats
- The ability to develop visual direction, not just follow existing guidelines
- A strong understanding of social media and digital design
- Excellent Adobe Creative Suite skills
- Strong Figma skills
- Experience across some combination of web design, motion design, video editing
- After Effects and Premiere Pro experience is an advantage
- The ability to work independently and respond constructively to feedback
- An appetite for experimenting with AI and emerging creative tools
- A team player who takes ownership, pitches in and cares about getting the work right
