About the job

Job Description

We are 150 people dedicated to telling the truth and telling it well. Because when a truth is well told, things change for the better. Truth Well Told has been our guiding principle since 1912, underpinning everything we do, and is as relevant today as it was then.

It ensures everyone has a voice and the space to play a meaningful role in our agency’s culture and allows us to do what we do best: unlock truths to help brands earn a meaningful role in wider culture, whilst growing businesses.

We’ve delivered joy to the nation with Snoop Dogg for Just Eat, given everyone the right to access great quality food with Kevin the Carrot for Aldi, showed the audience ‘That’s the eBay Way’, helped L’Oréal show people that ‘They’re Worth It’ and put a ‘Priceless’ tag on Mastercard.

We’re proudly part of McCann Worldgroup. We uphold values of Bravery, Integrity and Generosity.

Actively encourage a community where diversity and inclusiveness is championed and represented in both the workplace and in the work which is created. To identify, creatively influence and navigate potential award-winning work. You will retain a solution-led mindset.
