About McCann Content Studios
McCann Content Studios is a global hub for social and influencer capabilities.

McCann Content Studios is part of McCann Birmingham, an integrated agency dedicated to telling the truth and telling it well. Because when a truth is well told, things change for the better.
As part of the McCann Content Studios, this team will have the backing of one of the UK’s largest and most awarded networks. You will work with a wider dedicated social and influencer team. You will need to come up with social specific ideas and create the content for those ideas.
The Role
We’re building something exciting at McCann Content Studios and we’re looking for a bold, culture-savvy Designer to help us set the tone.
This is your chance to define the visual look and feel of major brands, right from the start. From typography and graphics to social-native stickers and toolkits, you’ll create a design system that’s elevated, ownable, and built to scale across platforms.
You’ll work closely with a newly formed team including a Creative Strategist and a Social Creative. We’re a fresh crew and a shared ambition to create standout work across all social platforms. You’ll be the go-to for visual execution, setting the foundation the wider design team can build from.
Key Responsibilities
* Create a bold, social-first visual identities – from concept to playbook/toolkit
* Develop a graphic system including type, layouts, iconography, and sticker sets as well as simple motion design.
* Collaborate with strategy and creative to bring ideas to life from day one
* Craft visual solutions that feel native to social but stand out with elevated design
* Stay sharp on trends, tech, and cultural shifts that inform great creative
* Support the wider design team in implementing your system across campaigns
Who You Are
* A sharp-eyed designer with serious graphic and typographic skills
* Experienced in creating design for digital and social channels, including simple motion design
* Strong on craft but just as confident in contributing to early creative thinking
* Obsessed with social trends and design.
* Passionate about branding, layout, and developing visual systems
* Fast, curious, and excited by experimentation in both static and motion
* A collaborative team player with a proactive mindset
You’ll get to put your mark on powerful brands and influence how we design for social from the ground up. If you love building systems, pushing design, and getting into the detail, we want to hear from you.
Benefits
In addition to a competitive salary we are committed to creating a brilliant environment for all our people. This includes benefits such as 28 days holiday, plus the opportunity to buy more holiday, enhanced pension contributions, life assurance and much more.
A culture of learning and development is also central to our ethos, so you’ll have access to industry leading training and development programmes, plus you’ll get to work closely with the world’s biggest media partners to access exclusive features and products.
Most importantly, you’ll be part of a fun and collaborative team and you’ll work in an environment where you are supported and developed.
If you want to join an iconic network agency that offers you the chance to work on one of the top clients in our portfolio & the opportunity to progress your career with an unrivalled development programme, contact us now. And not through a recruiter, please.
Our commitment to equal opportunities
For us, diversity is a business imperative – one that must be embedded into every aspect of how we operate in order to drive success. Simply put, we believe an encouraging and inclusive environment makes sound business sense.
As a globally integrated community that influences and shapes culture, it’s vital that the talent mix in our agencies encompass all dimensions of diversity, and that we demand the same of the people we work with.
Conscious inclusion encompasses social, cultural and cognitive differences and cultivates an ethos of belonging, connection and shared purpose. It is the integration of this philosophy that allows us to create meaningful experiences for our employees, drive better business practices with our vendors and clients, and ultimately lead with purpose.
