Job Description
Salary: £32-35k (dependent on experience)
You’re a multi-skilled designer with at over 3 years’ experience creating designs and concepts for marketing agencies.
Your portfolio showcases your creativity; ability to work across both digital and traditional media; and how you keep up to date with the latest creative trends and technologies.
You’re looking for an agency where you can thrive and grow. Somewhere you’ll get mentoring and support to develop your personal and professional skills as well as the camaraderie that comes from being part of a tight-knit team in a growing regional agency.
If this sounds like you, take a look at what we have to offer at Marlow-based agency BWP…
What is BWP and why should I work for the agency?

* Has in-depth working knowledge of key design packages, designing for UI & UX, animation and artworking.
