Freelance Senior Creative

We are looking for an experienced and inspiring Senior Creative who is a creative problem solver, obsessed with helping brands connect to consumers through influencers and creators. They will be a key senior member of the team, responsible for developing ideas for creative briefs, working alongside and inspiring other team members, and mentoring junior members of the team.

We need someone who is self-motivated and proactive, consistently providing original solutions to problems they have been given and proactively uncovered. This person will understand what consumers see as great content, which creators are currently making it, what it takes to develop it, and how brands can play a part in it. They will understand how to develop ideas that are designed to get the best out of creators, giving enough direction to inspire while leaving enough space for them to add their authentic creative spark.

We are looking for someone who is unsettled, in constant pursuit of better, believing that what has been done before is not ‘Best Practice’ but ‘Best so far’. We want to see an obsession with creators, social media, and the value they can offer to brands, along with an understanding of what ‘good’ looks like in other brand marketing channels.

Work simultaneously across a variety of brands, talking to various audiences in different markets. Guide junior creatives through the creative process from initial briefing to production and final delivery.
• Leadership, Direction & Mentorship: Set creative direction and give feedback on smaller creative tasks within a response for a Junior Creative. Comfortable line-managing junior creative talent when needed, guiding them to achieve great work and setting clear goals for career progression. Play a vocal role with the wider agency in knowledge sharing and advocating for creativity.
• Client Relations: Build strong creative relationships with key clients, becoming their trusted expert in creativity.

• Proven experience of developing great conceptual work in the social and creator/influencer space.
