We’re an independent, award-winning creative agency.

We work with high-profile, global brands such as George at ASDA, Estee Lauder, Chivas, First Choice, Paco Rabanne, Nike and a bunch of others. 

We’re pretty good at what we do. We’ve won multiple Agency of The Year(s) including Campaigns Global Integrated Agency of the Year and The Drum DADI Agency of the Year. We were also shortlisted as Campaign Independent Agency of the Year and for two years running, made it onto Campaign Magazine’s 100 best places to work. We were awarded a Silver Arrow at the British Arrows Awards 2022. 

This year we have our sights set on a D&AD and/or Cannes Lion. 

There are about 40 of us (not including the dogs) — but that number grows all the time because we’re still young, ambitious and do great work.

We’re also 70% female with a 50/50 gender split on the senior team. We proudly have 100% pay parity, and it kind of annoys us that we even have to mention that as something unique within this industry.

We gladly do things differently. We‘re super ambitious, brutally honest and always deliver.

We don’t like the ‘Old Guard’ of advertising. This is an agency that uses passion, ingenuity, and an anything-is-possible attitude to deliver work across all kinds of platforms. It’s one of the reasons why working here is a hell of a lot of fun. Everything’s to play for.

Not surprisingly, this is a growing agency, so we’re looking for a Traffic, Resource & Studio Manager who wants to be part of and help drive that growth.

This is a dual role within the People Operations Team. You will be responsible for the day-to-day traffic/resource management of the agency’s workflow and the running of the agency studio space.

You’ll ensure the smooth and efficient running of the studio. This includes ensuring tech is working efficiently, and the upkeep of the office environment. You will also assist with social event planning. 

You are hungry to learn more about operations/HR and will assist with traditional HR activities such as onboarding and offboarding employees. 

You will also assist our Head of New Biz with PR/Fame driving activities in the agency, and be on hand to help out from an administrative perspective when we are pitching for new business.

The People Operations team’s goal is to connect all departments. We ensure the people of the agency are working towards the same goal which is to create a world famous agency. 

We maximise the potential of our people and have a wide, holistic view of the business and use our knowledge to make decisions that are effective for the growth of the Agency. 

We run the Agency Operations with excellence to ensure our people can deliver the boldest award-winning work possible. 

Above all, we embody our core values and never let our team down. 

This is an awesome place to work. We’re in control of our destiny. But it means we’re the only ones that can deliver it. We’re all massively ambitious and hard working. But it’s also fun. 

We all get along, there’s no politics, just heaps of passion. We’re the creative industry’s new guard. And it’s awesome.
