The Speed Read

Get the chance to work with and learn from best-in-class brand thinkers and do-ers.

The facts

Collaboration is easily said, but here it is meaningful; whether that’s how this branding consultancy works with their clients on brand and business problems or how you work internally together as a small, focused, thoughtful team to solve the client challenge.

This agency makes early and deep connections with their client’s brand implementers on the ground, to make sure that what they have created helps the business in a tangible way, whether that is growing sustainably, getting genuine, long-lasting engagement, clear momentum in expressing the brand or embracing big change. They work with global businesses (a lot in Europe), so you can develop your international understanding of brands and businesses too.

Day to day, you’ll be designing identities and brand toolkits and systems, websites, layouts and other design elements. If you have any motion experience you can use it here, or you can learn it here. In fact, here you will have the space to develop your own interests in brand expression. The agency doesn’t pitch, the projects are long term and you can settle in and build your skills out.

You’ll be…

  • Developing thoughtful, considered, meticulous. You back up your design decisions.
  • Someone who is passionate about typography and their craft but also welcomes input from experienced seniors.
  • A key member of a small, highly intelligent team.
  • Having meaningful design conversations with the Creative Director.
  • Someone who wants to bring rigour and thoughtfulness to how make a brand happen in an organisation.
  • Bringing creativity to toolkits and systems.
  • Comfortable with and keen to learn new technology.

You’ll have…

  • The chance to find your own niche.
  • High Attention to detail.
  • The full Adobe CS suite at your disposal and the chance to get training in any new tools. You can bring Figma or learn it there.
  • The opportunity to develop a high quality brand conversation, to get you to the top of your game and develop your career.
  • Around 3 years + experience but a quality folio, ambition and articulation is more important than anything else.

Applicants must be living in and have the right to work in the UK.

active Creative Director – Design (Branding & Campaign) New York $220–250k

The Speed Read

Big brands. Beautiful work. Seriously exciting growth phase.

The facts

A globally respected, independent Brand & Communications agency is looking for a Creative Director to join its New York team, leading thoughtful, high-craft branding, campaigns and communications work across every sector. Despite being a quiet giant in the industry, they get onto the best pitch lists. With deep sector expertise and a growing reputation, this is an agency building a clear point of difference in the market and attracting increasing attention.

You’ll join at a pivotal moment - new clients landing, new hires being made and lots of momentum building. You’ll work closely with senior creative leadership, have genuine influence on the work, and the opportunity to help shape what this team becomes next - plus build the kind of portfolio that makes other creatives quietly jealous.

You’ll join a creative team of 6 (and growing) in a proper grown-up creative agency environment. People tend to join this business and stay.

This role will appeal if you want to combine senior creative leadership with being hands on. You’ll form identities, visual languages and design systems from the earliest stages through to delivery, while also having the opportunity to develop campaigns and wider brand expressions.

You’ll be involved early, helping identify and hone opportunities, shaping the creative response and leading senior-level conversations with prospective and existing clients.

From defining big-picture brand thinking to obsessing over the finer details, this role embraces strategy, storytelling and design excellence.

You’ll also mentor and develop the wider creative team, collaborate closely with strategy and leadership, and present your thinking confidently to senior stakeholders and clients.

You’ll be…

  • Developing visual identities, brand worlds and design systems for established and ambitious challenger brands
  • Working with research, data and sector experts to uncover meaningful opportunities and translate them into thoughtful creative ideas
  • Working closely with the CCO and 2 Creative Directors
  • Presenting and defending creative thinking confidently to senior clients and stakeholders

You’ll have…

  • 10+ years’ relevant brand, design or creative agency experience, with a strong grounding in brand identity and design
  • A portfolio demonstrating sophisticated brand thinking, identity creation, design systems and strong visual craft
  • Strong creative direction, strategic thinking and presentation skills
  • Experience leading teams and managing senior client relationships
  • An exceptional eye for detail, craft, execution and typography
  • The ability and desire to remain hands on, demonstrating rather than simply directing the creative work
  • A collaborative mindset, commercial awareness and genuine curiosity about brands and sectors

Please attach CV and Portfolio/Link to website.

Applicants must be living in and have the right to work in the U.S. and be able to travel to the New York Studio 3–4 days a week.
