Creative Designer

About Ford Creative Ford Creative is an independent branding and design agency based in Bristol. We work with ambitious organisations to create brands, campaigns and digital experiences that help them flex, transform and grow. Our work spans a mix of sectors, with particularly strong experience across sport, horse racing, drinks and purpose-led organisations. We’re a small, collaborative team, which means everyone has a genuine influence on the work we produce and how we do things. We take the work seriously, but try not to take ourselves too seriously. No layers of unnecessary process. No agency jargon for the sake of it. Just good people trying to make really good work. The Role We’re looking for a brilliant Creative Designer to join the team at Ford Creative. You’ll ideally have at least 2 years’ experience working within a creative or design agency, with a strong portfolio spanning digital design and branding. Digital experience is particularly important. We’re looking for someone who is as comfortable designing a website or digital experience in Figma as they are developing a brand identity or campaign. A significant amount of the work you’ll be involved with will also be within sport, particularly horse racing, so experience working with sports brands, rights holders, events or organisations would be a big advantage. We’re not particularly interested in job titles or ticking every box. What matters most is that you’re a great designer, full of ideas, care about the details and can show us work that makes us wish we’d done it. You’ll work across a broad mix of projects, from initial concepts and brand identities through to websites, digital products, campaigns and ongoing brand communications. Digital will be a significant part of the role. You’ll work on websites and digital experiences from initial thinking and UX through to polished visual design, working closely with our digital development partners to bring them to life. You’ll also be working on a growing portfolio of clients within sport and horse racing, alongside established and emerging brands across drinks and other sectors.
