Digital Creative Lead, London

Job ads tend to follow the same kind of format no matter what the role, don’t you think? Phrases like “fantastic agency”, “wonderful opportunity” and “you’d be a fool not to apply” tend to lose their impact when you’ve read them a hundred times before… which leaves me at a bit of a loss as to what to write as those phrases describe perfectly the position that my client is advertising. In fact I could use an endless stream of positive adjectives to describe the clients they have, the work they produce, the atmosphere in the office and the reputation they hold in the digital market, but then I would sound like everyone else! So instead I will give you the basics: we need to find a Creative Lead, someone with very strong hands-on skills in interaction and visual design, with experience of leading a team and a real passion for the client-facing side of the job. It’s a massive account so will take a strong character to manage it well, your leadership skills will be constantly tested and you must be prepared to roll your sleeves up and really lead by example. Conceptual skills will be key, along with a strong understanding of interactive experiences, channels, and design principles. So if this is you, what are you waiting for?!!
