The role

Due to an increase in assignments, we’re looking for someone to join our growing artwork team in London. Your time will be spent delivering artwork across many of our
top FMCG clients and brands. Plus, occasionally you will help deliver artwork for sister agency Threefold.

It’s a fast-paced role and you’ll need to be able to get through lots of artwork to a high-quality finish. Working with retailer templates, you’ll produce print-ready artwork using
existing assets across many different media channels, from social posts, and OOH to shelf barkers - and everything in between.

This role offers someone the opportunity to join an established team of artworkers and play a part in helping our team continue to grow and evolve. You’ll be given real
responsibility from day one and have exposure to the workings of a successful agency, with support from a team of managers as well.

Why SMG?

We are dedicated to supporting our employees to be the best version of themselves both inside and outside of work. We have an extraordinary culture built by exceptional people and it’s because of this that we’ve been recognised by Best Companies within the top 5 best Marketing & Media agencies to work for, with a World Class and Outstanding accreditation across the past 2 years. 

We are also dedicated to continuously reviewing and improving our benefits package to offer the best that we can for our people. We have a whole page dedicated to our benefits here, but here's some of our favourites...

🧘‍♂️ £1,800 yearly wellbeing fund (on top of your salary!) towards your personal wellbeing and passions

🎧 Free headspace subscription

🕐 4pm Friday finishes all year round

🥳 Two fully paid conferences a year at Summer & Winter, as well as a dedicated team that put on activities and celebrations throughout the year

Why you?

In line with our company values, within your role you'll want to stay honest, stay hungry, stay foolish, and most importantly, have fun! More specifically, you'll have / be:

• You have 2-3 years of experience as an Artworker in a fast-paced agency or similar environment.
• You follow processes from briefing to print delivery.
• You have a portfolio of print and animated artwork for brands.

What you'll be doing

We pride ourselves on creating challenging and exciting opportunities, meaning that no two days are the same. However, here's an idea of what your responsibilities will look like:

• Taking artwork briefs and being responsible for managing the timing and progress of those projects.
