Sitting within the brand design team, this is a hybrid role across ideation, motion, editing, and content capture. You’ll help shape how our brands behave in motion - from first spark through to final output, creating work that earns attention, not just fills space. From building motion systems and toolkits to crafting campaigns across OOH and social, you’ll bring sharp thinking, strong taste, and the ability to turn ideas into something that holds attention.
You’ll be part of a fast-moving, collaborative studio working across some of Britain’s best-loved news and entertainment brands. Alongside craft, a big part of the role is working closely with marketing teams and stakeholders, translating ideas clearly, building trust, and making sure the work lands as well in the room as it does on screen.
Key Responsibilities:
Creative Direction & Motion Craft — 50%:
* Work closely with the team to create motion work that feels closer to an outstanding design agency than a traditional in-house output, raising the bar on craft, taste, and originality.
* Translate brand strategy, campaign thinking, and audience insight into compelling motion ideas and executions that feel considered, not just produced.
* Bring consistency to how our brands move, ensuring motion language, tone, and behaviour are cohesive across every touchpoint.
* Support campaigns, events, and launches with motion that enhances the idea and amplifies impact.
* Manage multiple projects and deadlines with confidence, maintaining quality while working at pace.
* Use industry-standard tools to deliver high-quality motion and content that meets both creative ambition and technical requirements.
Creative Collaboration & Ideation — 35%:
* Collaborate seamlessly with marketing teams, creative leads, and wider stakeholders to shape ideas, align on direction, and deliver work that lands.
* Contribute actively to creative discussions and brainstorms, bringing ideas that push beyond the obvious and elevate the work.
* Partner with external agencies, freelancers, and production partners where needed, ensuring a high standard of output and consistency in execution.
Innovation, Trends & Cultural Awareness — 15%:
* Stay ahead of motion, design, and platform trends, applying them thoughtfully to keep output feeling fresh, relevant, and culturally in‑tune.

What You’ll Need:
