One role. Quite a broad brief. And deliberately so.
We’re at the early stages of a search for a really good conceptual designer to join a creative agency working across brand activation, shopper, retail and brand experience.
We’ll have more detail on the exact shape of the role very soon, but we know the kind of person we’re looking for — and we’d rather get ahead and start talking to great creatives now.
You might be a Senior Designer ready for more creative ownership, or already operating closer to Lead Designer level. That’s also why the salary range is fairly broad at £30–50k.
Ultimately, this is about finding someone who can come up with strong ideas and turn them into brilliant creative work.
What We Know So Far
You’ll be someone who can:
🎨 Come up with the idea – Not just make somebody else’s concept look lovely. You can take a brief, find the creative thought and bring it to life.
🛍️ Think shopper and retail – You understand that creative has to work in the real world, whether that’s POS, retail environments, displays, activations or wider brand experiences.
💡 Think conceptually – You’re comfortable exploring different routes, developing ideas and turning them into strong visual solutions.
✏️ Craft the work – You’ve still got the design chops to take an idea forward and make it look brilliant.
🤝 Work collaboratively – You’re comfortable bouncing ideas around with other creatives, account teams and wider agency specialists.
🚀 Own more if you’re more senior – At the top end of the range, we’ll be looking for someone who can lead the creative thinking on briefs, confidently present ideas and help raise the standard of the work around them.
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.
What We’re Looking For
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You’ll ideally have agency experience within brand activation, shopper, retail, experiential or integrated creative.
Experience working with brands across areas such as FMCG, beauty, DIY/home improvement, electrical or drinks would be particularly useful.
Most importantly, your portfolio needs to show ideas as well as execution.
Beautiful design is great. Beautiful design with a really good thought behind it is better.
Sound Like Your Sort of Thing?
The finer details are still being shaped, so don’t worry too much about whether you consider yourself a Senior Designer, Lead Designer or somewhere between the two.
If conceptual creative, brand activation and experience are your world, we’d like to hear from you. 🚀
