The Role
We’re looking for a Studio Growth Executive to help us create more new business opportunities. This is a junior role with real responsibility. You won’t be expected to close major deals or lead senior commercial conversations. Your job is to find the right people, start the right conversations and help get them in front of the founder.
You’ll research prospects, manage outreach, keep the CRM system sharp, follow up properly and support pitches, proposals and statements of work when opportunities start moving.
Also, you’ll assist marketing the studio, helping turn our work, thinking and point of view into content, outreach and useful reasons to start conversations.
It’s part sales, marketing, research and organisation. Mostly, it’s about being switched on: spotting opportunities, understanding why they matter, and making sure nothing gets lost.

What You’ll Do
This is a full-time role, but it won’t be cold outreach all day, every day. You’ll move between three key areas depending on what the week needs: New Business Outreach, Pipeline Support and Creative Marketing. Some tasks will be weekly, others monthly, and some will come in waves. The goal is simple: help us find the right people, start the right conversations and keep good opportunities moving.
New Business Outreach
* Researching potential clients, founders, scale-ups, brand teams, VCs and partners
* Building focused prospect lists
* Spotting useful signals like funding news, launches, rebrands, new hires or growth moments
* Drafting and sending thoughtful outreach emails
* Supporting LinkedIn outreach and follow-ups
* Helping arrange intro calls, chemistry meetings and pitch conversations
Pipeline Support
* Managing and updating the CRM
* Tracking leads, conversations, proposals and next steps
* Keeping notes, actions and contact details organised
* Preparing simple pipeline updates
* Making sure warm leads do not go cold
* Supporting pitch prep, credentials, proposals and statements of work
Creative Marketing
* Helping turn our work, thinking and point of view into content
* Supporting LinkedIn posts, case study snippets and outreach assets
* Helping plan and deliver creative marketing campaigns
* Spotting stories in the studio that are worth sharing
* Keeping an eye on partnerships, PR moments and useful reasons to start conversations
* Helping For Different show up more consistently in front of the right people

About You
You might be a recent graduate, early in your career, or coming from sales, marketing, research, recruitment, events, hospitality or something completely different. We care less about job titles and more about how you think, write, organise and follow through.
* Curious and commercially minded
* Confident writing clear, thoughtful messages
* Comfortable reaching out to people you do not know
* Good at research, detail and spotting useful signals
* Organised enough to keep a CRM clean and up to date
* Persistent without being pushy
* Interested in brands, design, startups, technology, AI, and creative business
* Sharp enough to understand why one opportunity matters more than another
You do not need years of experience. But you do need initiative, taste, a passion for technology and creativity, and a bit of nerve. We’re been described on several occasions as one of creative industries best-kept secrets. We need to change that.
