Creative Specialist
We’re working with a fast-growing full-service media agency based in Marple, Greater Manchester, to recruit a Creative Specialist.
This is a brilliant opportunity to join a close-knit and highly ambitious team in a relaxed but ideas-driven environment. The agency strives for big accounts, working with national and international clients across TV, radio, OOH, audio, and digital.
The Role
As a Creative Specialist, you’ll play a key part in bringing concepts and campaigns to life through the use of AI tools and motion design. You’ll collaborate closely with the team to develop storyboards, create compelling short and long-form content, and support pitches for new business.
This is a hands-on role that would suit someone commercially minded, proactive, and brimming with ideas. You’ll be working on everything from YouTube shorts and social content to OOH campaigns – think eye-catching billboards and high-impact video ads.
Responsibilities
- Create storyboards and bring creative ideas to life using AI tools
- Deliver short-form and long-form creative for OOH, social, web display, and video
- Develop 10–30 second clips with outstanding motion design for campaigns
- Work on 3–5 creative briefs per week across a variety of clients
- Build asset decks and support pitches to win new business
- Stay on top of creative trends, AI tools, and industry best practice
- Collaborate with a small but growing team to develop standout campaign ideas
What We’re Looking For
- A self-starter with ambition and creative drive
- Experience using AI and Google software for creative development
- Strong motion design skills and a portfolio that showcases this
- Ability to balance creativity with commercial awareness
- Organised, proactive, and confident working in a fast-paced environment
The Details
- Office location: Marple, Stockport (renovated mill office space by the canal)
- Hybrid working: 3 days office / 2 days remote
- Close-knit team of 5, with growth plans in place
- Clients include major brands across automotive, healthcare, education, and investment sectors
- Not a high-pressure sales environment – relaxed, creative, and ideas-led
