Description

We're looking for a Social Media Designer to be responsible for bringing creative ideas to life, creating stills and captivating animations.

We're looking for someone who's passionate about creative ideas and art direction, keen to make use of the latest social formats to maximise their potential.

Why would you want to work here?
McCann Birmingham is part of McCann Central, the UK's largest integrated agency. Over 500 individuals working together to help brands play a meaningful role in people's lives.

We are also part of McCann Worldgroup, a global agency network that delivers culture-shaping work for some of the world's biggest brands.

And to add to the (literal) wheelbarrow full of awards we've got including Euro Effies most effective global agency, Cannes Network of the Year, Campaign's European Integrated Agency of the Year, not to mention McCann Central's haul of awards in recent years at Cannes Lions, Clios, One Show, D&AD, LIAs, Golden Drum & Creative Circle Awards.

So creativity really is at the forefront of everything we do.

We're a team of passionate creatives, strategists and marketers from a wide mix of backgrounds. But there's a lot that unites us - like caring deeply about everything we make. And though our skillsets are wide and our process knowledge is deep, we are all still learning every day.

Responsibilities include:

Responding to client briefs with creative social solutions
Creating a host of assets to be used across Social Media Platforms, from shortform video content to Instagram carousels
Working on Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects to create social content
Working closely with the account management team to build content strategies, consult on implementation and oversee output
Being flexible and confident to make amends on other designers work when required

Experience required:

Proven experience spanning social and creative, media and branded content
A deep understanding of the social, digital and content landscape (how social platforms work, how they're used, current and past viral trends etc)
Experiencing creating content across multiple social media platforms including Instagram, Tiktok, LinkedIn etc.
Experience of Adobe Creative Suite preferred (particularly Photoshop, After Effects and Illustrator)
A keen eye for detail and creative direction
Confidence in managing multiple projects, for multiple clients, with strict deadlines
Ability to keep abreast of creative trends and new tech developments
Delivering creative content of the highest quality
Strong video editing skills
Ideally agency experience

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.
