Graphic Designer Poulton le Fylde, England
Job description
Who we are
Hey up we're Think!Creative. We're a full-service creative agency founded in 2006. Our award-winning team of creatives, strategists, developers, animators and illustrators come from all parts of the creative industry, which means we see things differently. But creativity isn't just in our name - it's what we do for our clients every day.
Our clients trust us to come up with bold ideas and outstanding design for their brands, so we always have to be on our game. We work with international brands alongside ambitious growing brands and we feel right at home whether we’re helping them create, develop or rollout strategies, brand identities and campaigns.
What we’re after
We love nothing more than working with curious thinkers and ambitious people who think differently. So, although you’re a designer - you're much more than that. You've got the chops to develop, and pitch ideas that make people go "why didn't we think of that?!" If you're sick of being a Mac Monkey and want to flex your creative muscles – we’d love to hear from you.
What you’ll do:
- Take in briefs with different outputs; from branding to websites, from brochures to apps, and from animation to social media campaigns.
- Develop lots of ideas and share them with sketches, scamps, moodboards and mockups.
- Be confident presenting your work and the ideas behind them, both internally to the team, and externally to clients.
- Ask for and take feedback from our creative and strategic leadership to make sure your work is on brief.
- Take your ideas from concept to execution on your own.
- Work with other creatives to make the best of our collective skillset.
- Share your point of view about how creativity can have a positive impact on a client’s business.
What you’re like:
- You’re a hands on, enthusiastic and energetic creative with a great eye for an idea.
- You have in depth understanding and passion for all aspects of the creative process. From advertising to copywriting, typography to art direction, branding to design, you’ve got it covered.
- You know how to create ideas, and then pick and develop the best ones.
- You have high standards and meticulous attention to detail.
- You love going the extra mile to give clients that little something extra they didn’t know they needed.
- You’re keen to roll your sleeves up get stuck in. You’re just as happy to take on a massive branding job or a tiny amend on a leaflet.
What chops you’ll bring to the table:
- At least 3 years full time experience, preferably in an agency.
- The ability to work collaboratively both in person and remotely, using collaboration tools such as Basecamp, Slack, Microsoft and other similar software.
- Demonstrable experience of developing creative ideas from concept to a well-crafted execution.
- The ability to switch between print and digital formats with ease.
- Comfortable working on multiple client projects at once.
- Good working knowledge of Adobe CC (Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Acrobat & XD.)
- An interest in emerging design apps and technology.
- You have a general interest in culture, technology and creativity.
- Bonus: Motion/Animation design skills (including After Effects, Premiere Pro etc), HTML, CSS, SEO.
What you get:
- 20 days paid holiday (plus bank holidays) with an increase after 3 years.
- No dress code.
- A casual, fun office culture.
- A studio kitted out to a high standard, with excellent meeting and social spaces.
- A personal development plan to develop your career.
- A pension.
- A quarterly bonus scheme.
- Regular social get togethers.
- Conferences and ongoing training.
How to apply
- Make a 10-15 page PDF that shows no more than your 6 best projects. (Keep it under 10MB please) Then, when you send your email, answer these questions:
- 1. In no more than 100 words, tell us a bit about yourself and why you’re a great fit for this role.
- 2. In 50 words (or less) tell us what creativity means to you.
- 3. In a couple of sentences, tell us what you think is the best ad campaign of all time and why?
- 4. Name the worst ad campaign you’ve seen this year, and tell us how you’d make it better in a couple of sentences.
No Agencies Note
Note: We've been known to work with freelancers from time to time, but don't come anywhere near us if you're a recruiter. Otherwise we'll have to set Bruce on you - and trust us, you don't want to get a call from an angry Moose.
