Midweight AI Creative

VCCP is the global challenger network for challenger brands. With more than 1,500 people across 13 offices in North America, EMEA and APAC, we challenge convention to create value for the world’s most ambitious organisations.

Our founding belief is It Only Works If It All Works. That’s why we bring specialists from every discipline - strategy, AI, data, media, digital, experience, branding, creativity, production, PR, CX, CRM, employee engagement and beyond - into one fully integrated challenger network.

We were founded on the principles of simplicity, collaboration and un-preciousness, and we’ve grown by staying true to them.

THE ROLE

Faith is VCCP’s AI Creative Agency, a focused, fast-moving team of talent from around thewider agency building campaigns, experiences and tools that put Gen-AI to genuinelycreative use for clients including Virgin Media O2, British Gas, Cadbury and easyJet.

We’re looking for a Creative who treats AI as a way to challenge conventions and unlocknew, interesting experiences that make their work better; more than pumping out stuffquicker and cheaper.

You’ll have a regular flow of briefs from one of the most enviable client lists in the UK to workfrom, but the best candidates won’t stop there. We want someone who’s constantly trackingwhat’s new in AI: new models, new tools, new behaviours; and asking “what could we dowith this for our clients?”

Being proactive is key to this role. VCCP is full of people, ready to help support and sellgreat ideas but initially you’ll need to be comfortable working independently, developing yourwork to sell‑in to your two managing Creative Directors, other teams across the agency, and to clients.

If you’re already building passion projects with AI in your own time because you just can’thelp yourself, let’s talk.

Key Responsibilities

• Learning Mindset: Demonstrate a passion for the Gen-AI space and the ability to stay updated with the latest in AI, from video and image models, to agent frameworks.
• Creatively Independent: Generating ideas proactively and from briefs focussed on Gen‑AI and innovation.
• Constantly Curious: Staying across the latest AI developments and constantly askingwhat they could unlock creatively for our clients.
• Think it, build it: Building rapid proof‑of‑concept work at pace.
• Good enough tocommunicate the idea, not precious about polish at this stage
• Confident Communicator: Presenting concepts confidently to Creative Directors,internal teams, other agency verticals and clients.
• Model Proficiency: Prompt engineering across LLMs and applied use ofimage/video/music models and agentic platforms; willingness to develop deeperexpertise in ComfyUI and model training where relevant.
• Collaborating: Work alongside our engineering team to integrate and refine AImodels, aligning them with the agency’s creative standards, tools and clientrequisites. Also helping traditional Creative Teams validate their AI ideas.
• Upskilling the wider agency: Contribute to delivering training for different audiencesacross VCCP.
