Taking the rough with the smooth. As a business they do a certain amount of bread and butter ‘newsletter’ work where they need to plug in content to design templates, This is10-15% of the role. The other 90% is working on pitches, designing websites, designing banners, designing bespoke emails and eNewsletter templates and generally preaching design ability to the rest of the company and impressing account managers.

The Role;

Working within a small team in BOA (Senior Designer, Junior Designer, CD and ‘new creative’) you’ll be an important part of a busy creative department working with brands such as Travelodge, Nikon, Lexmark and Discovery Foods.

The company is now part of the world’s largest independent advertising agency, they are asked to pitch for some big brands – the successful person will be working with the team to develop work for pitches (usually in a short timescale).

Day to day you will be working mostly independently with account managers, but overseen by senior members of the team. On larger projects, they will work as a group to create look & feels, or if the successful person is capable enough, you be left to your own devices.

Salary dependent upon experience.
