Associate Creative Director (Copy) | London (Hybrid) | Permanent | £70–75k + bonus
We're working with a London creative studio that's under a year old, 20+ people strong and profitable from day one. It's already making the kind of work bigger agencies pitch for:
- A social-first video podcast series fronted by a household-name presenter
- A creator-led global health platform with views in the hundreds of millions
- Integrated campaigns, brand platforms and always-on content for global brands
Now they need a copy-led Associate Creative Director to be the creative number two on major projects and client relationships.
The work:
You'll work closely with the Senior Creative Directors to turn creative direction into outstanding work, leading significant workstreams from brief to delivery. You'll shape briefs, find platform ideas and campaign territories, and write everything from three-word headlines and social copy to scripts, manifestos, brand narratives and long-form content. You'll own tone of voice across every touchpoint, build decks that sell, help direct shoots and voiceover, and be someone clients want in the room. Sometimes you'll lead a small team; other times you'll partner with an Art Director and make the work yourself. This isn't a role for reviewing other people's work from a distance.
Why this studio?
- It's young, so you'll help shape the work, the team, the culture and the business, not slot into a machine
- Strategy, creative, design and production work as one team, with no layers of process between the idea and the work
- You'll get real ownership of your workstreams, with trust to make decisions and keep things moving
You’ll bring
- Substantial experience in a copy-led creative role in an integrated, content or social-first agency or studio
- A portfolio that's equal parts big conceptual thinking and excellent copy, showing exactly where you were hands-on
- Integrated campaigns, brand platforms, social-first and content work for high-profile clients, across B2B and B2C
- The range to switch voices from brand to brand without losing craft
- Experience leading workstreams under a Creative Director, giving clear feedback and mentoring juniors
- A calm, confident presence in the room, and decks that look as good as they read
The package:
£70,000–£75,000 plus an annual bonus, private healthcare, a pension, flexible working and regular socials.
Permanent, full-time. London, hybrid: 3 days in the studio (Mon, Wed, Thu).
