Experiential Creative Designer

CREATIVE

A skilful dreamer, designer, and doer - you’ll work across major brand activations and experiential events for high-

profile clients.

We’re looking for a playful creative who has a strong conceptual mind. Someone who can translate an idea into a brand experience through set build, lighting, food and drink, and styling elements. You’ll lead on projects from concept to install and support the team across large scale activations.

You’ll play an active and collaborative part in contributing to the company’s creative output. Working with producers, graphic designers, and suppliers to deliver work that goes beyond the expected and experiences that stop people in their tracks.

We’re looking for passion, energy, and strong creative eye – a creative who is excited to push their skillset and grow with us as a business.

ABOUT US

We are a new-generation, multi-discipline, experience design studio.

Taking you clients from concept to delivery, we create culture-smart brand experiences that bring joy to clients and their audience. We do not believe in “one size fits all” propositions and think that powerful design doesn’t always have to be serious to get serious results.

A perfect blend of strategy, creative, design and production. We dream and deliver pop-up shops, dinners, parties, press trips, photoshoots, activations and packaging design toolkits on our home turf and abroad. We work with brands to produce experiences that are playfully chic and perfectly timed.

We are a team of culture divers, big dreamers, curious makers and playful planners. Together we make big things happen and inspire each other to go beyond.

We are a young team based in South West London who put people first and promote a friendly atmosphere. We work hard, we’ve got each other’s backs, we like to have a laugh, and ultimately, we are looking for strong teammates who are looking to build upon the successes we have already had and takes us to new lofty heights
