We're looking for a Junior Creative Digital Designer to join our expanding Creative team. We are looking for someone passionate about design - with experience of creating a wide variety of design assets - from static social content and short form videos, through to high impact A1 print posters. You will be involved in design work across our social and creative clients - from campaign support and social content calendars through to video and digital assets. 

We ideally want someone who has experience working across one or more of the following sectors: Travel & Hospitality, Charity, Automotive, Logistics, Finance or FMCG.

• You will be curious - constantly keeping up to date on latest trends, innovations and progression in design. You will gather and absorb as much inspiring and creative things as you can and share with your team, the agency and clients. What's new and exciting in our industry? What's going on in the wider world that might inspire our next project?
• You will always maintain a positive and solution-based attitude. We are considered the creative problem solvers for the agency and this needs to be evident in everything we do. The more impossible a task the bigger the opportunity is to excel, succeed and create!
