Waste Creative

This post is expired. Click here to search for more listings.

A keen and talented junior creative, looking to develop both their conceptual and craft skills at a rapidly growing agency. You might be straight out of college or have a year or so’s experience in another agency. Either way you’ll have a portfolio full of interesting ideas that showcase your ability to think differently with your big ideas and deliver well-crafted work on more day-to-day projects. We are open to either a copywriter or an art director.

We’re proud of our agency. It’s a fast-paced environment, but it’s a lot of fun too, and we value our Wasters and the Waste culture above everything. But that means you need to be comfortable dealing with quick turnaround projects and working on a number of briefs at once. We don’t like to micro-manage our team, so you need to be a self-starter, happy to own your own projects to make sure you deliver on time and on quality. To do this, you’ll need to have your finger on the pulse of popular culture, particularly in and around social.

Our clients are relatively diverse, so it’s important that we find someone flexible, who can switch between styles. You might be selling WeightWatchers one minute and talking to mobile gamers the next, on everything from static social posts to integrated campaigns.

Responsibilities
  • Creative concepting and production across all Waste clients, but particularly Grosvenor Casinos & Mecca Bingo, WW (formerly Weight Watchers) and new business.

In return, you’ll get:

  • To work on big brands in a fast-paced, exciting and ever-growing agency

  • The opportunity to develop your own skills in a fun, supportive environment

  • To work alongside extremely passionate digital natives, producing work that we’re all proud of

  • Breakfast, massages, fruit and Friday beers!

Requirements
  • Drive – You want to be producing great work and learning every day and you’re not afraid to put in the graft to make it happen

  • Creativity - You’re an original thinker, with a desire to take out work in new interesting directions

  • Craft – You’ve started learning your craft, but are keen to keep developing it and learn from the more experienced experts we have already on the team.

  • Experience – You’ll already have created a portfolio full of interesting ideas, with some examples of your craft in amongst them. Some agency experience would be ideal, but is not a must. That might be a full time job or a longer term internship.
