This is a Manchester brand engagement studio working with household‑name banks, airlines and global life sciences companies. But not the work you’d expect. Their remit is internal – turning a client’s strategy, vision or set of messages into live experiences that genuinely move a brand’s own people. Recent delivery has taken the team to New York, Atlanta and Japan.
The Role
This is a role built around ideas, not execution. You’ll find the big idea hiding in a messy brief and shape it into something people can walk into: a workshop, an immersive event, an escape room, a campaign.
Work splits roughly 80% live experiences, 20% campaigns, so you’ll take concepts from the first spark through to on-site delivery, working closely with producers who bring ideas of their own. What matters most is clever thinking and taking real ownership.
The Package
£30,000 – £45,000
Hybrid working: three days a week in the studio
Occasional international travel for on-site delivery
Holiday allowance grows by a day each year
Dedicated budget for culture: shows, galleries and events
The Person
You’re early in your career – perhaps a year in, perhaps a few. You might come from design, art direction, or somewhere less conventional entirely, like theatre.
You already seek out interesting things unprompted and bring references to the table without being asked. You can hold an idea up in a critique and defend it. Live events experience helps but isn’t essential; great thinking is.
