Associate Creative Director - Creative Agency

Associate Creative Director (Copy) | London (Hybrid) | Freelance to Perm/ Perm | £70–75k | Immediate start

Can you think big and still polish a line until it sings?

We're working with a fast-growing London creative studio that's looking for a copy-led ACD to be the creative number two on major projects and client relationships.

Why this studio?

• It's small, senior and growing fast, so you'll help shape the work, the team and the culture
• Strategy, social, film and brand identity all sit under one roof, with no layers of process between the idea and the work
• You'll work on household-name brands, including campaigns with well-known talent
• You'll work closely with the Senior Creative Directors and have real ownership of your workstreams
• They hold high standards without expecting you to burn out for them

The work:

• You'll work alongside the Senior Creative Directors to turn creative direction into outstanding work.
• You'll lead workstreams from brief to delivery, find platform ideas and write everything from three-word headlines and social copy to scripts, manifestos and brand narratives.
• You'll also build decks that sell, help direct shoots, and be someone clients want in the room.

You'll bring

• A portfolio that's equal parts big conceptual thinking and excellent copy, showing exactly where you were hands-on
• Integrated, brand platform, social-first and content work for high-profile clients
• Range across tone of voice, B2B and B2C, film, podcasts and campaigns across owned, earned and paid
• Confidence leading teams and workstreams while working under a CD
• A calm, persuasive presence when presenting
• Tech or complex-sector experience is a bonus but not essential

The details: London, hybrid: 3 days in the studio (Mon, Wed, Thu). Reports to a Senior Creative Director.
