Role overview

Are you a recent graduate ready for a new challenge in a fast-moving and award-winning B2B agency? Are you ready to work with B2B brands including Cisco, Sage and Anaplan from an office that is seconds from London Bridge station as well as home with our flexible working policy?

Would you like to fill your day crafting digital and print design to be proud of, being mentored by established designers, including Loughborough alumni? Are you excited about producing B2B marketing communications that means something? Do you know Adobe Creative Suite better than you'd like to admit?

Working closely with the Studio Team, you'll design and produce marketing content (digital, print, video and animation) for a wide variety of B2B clients and a wide range of campaigns. You'll be exposed to projects from conception to completion with supervision and guidance.

You will have high standards, for yourself and your colleagues only being satisfied when you craft B2B marketing to be proud of. Every time.

This is more than making things look pretty. Our clients judge us on quality, not hours so you'll develop a strategic approach to all creative work and be able to articulate your thinking to the rest of the team and external stakeholders. You'll be excited about presenting your work directly to Studio and be given the opportunity to present to our clients. 

You'll be mentored by senior members of the team to improve your work, accelerate your development, and enjoy the satisfaction of growing and evolving in a fast-paced B2B agency.

Finally, you'll stay current with technology changes and design trends in the B2B industry and share this knowledge internally with the rest of your team.

• Maintain the highest quality on your work
• Deliver within agreed budgets and timelines.
• Creatively seek out new products, maintain industry knowledge and bring new ideas to the table.

Qualifications, skills and experience:

• A desire and interest for working in a B2B creative agency team.

• Good knowledge of Adobe Creative Cloud, digital and print design is required, while any experience in motion graphics design is welcome.
