Position Overview & Specifications
Whether you’re fresh out of college or got a year or two under your belt, if you’re a young, fresh creative team full of ideas, we want to hear from you. But you can also apply as an individual Art Director or Copywriter and we’ll pair the best candidates together to conceive, develop and produce effective campaigns that work across TV, Radio, Out of home, Social, Digital, Experiential and Brand.
Graduate Art Director
If you’re an Art Director, we expect to see some great visuals. While this isn’t a graphic design role, we want to see how you bring ideas to life through hand drawn scamps, Photoshop and layout. We’re not expecting to see a full brand identity or beautifully edited film – if you have those skills, then great. But this role is about ideas.
Graduate Copywriter
If you’re a Copywriter, it’s all about the words and big ideas. We want to see how your ideas work and flex across different media channels, expressed as headlines, tweets, scripts and more. And while not mandatory, Welsh would be a massive bonus. Based in Cardiff, we’re known for big behaviour change campaigns and as such you’ll get to work on the big briefs that affect society for good. But we also have a number of commercial clients, so you could be promoting a change to organ donation legislation one day, zip line experiences another and launching a new vehicle after that.
What's in it for you?
- Salary of £20,000 - £22,000 (depending on experience)
- 25 days annual leave plus bank holiday and birthday off
- Enhanced maternity, adoption and paternity leave pay
- Enhanced sick pay and compassionate leave policies
- Employee assistance programme including access to free counselling sessions
- Life and service milestone awards
- Hybrid working and core hours (10 to 4)
- Life assurance
- Option to buy extra holiday
- Pension scheme
We’ve adopted a hybrid working model, meaning you can choose to work where you are most productive. But as junior members of the team you will be expected to spend most of your time in the office to learn from senior members of the team and we have a fantastic city centre office in the heart of vibrant Cardiff.
To apply, please submit a CV and portfolio (document or link) showcasing examples of your work. Applications without a portfolio will not be considered.
We can’t wait to meet you.
