Job Description
ABOUT US
Founded in 2013 by two leading industry experts, Missouri is a multi award-winning branding and creative agency. We are based right in the heart of Shoreditch and have an amazing list of brands that we work with. Our work spans sectors ranging from alcohol to automotive, travel to tasty treats, just to name a few. We cover a whole range of services and disciplines, both strategic and creative, that help our clients create meaningful connections with their consumers and ultimately win in their category. The projects we work on cover brand strategy, brand creation, visual and verbal identity, packaging design, environments and experiences and brand campaigns.
We have a passionate, diverse team with years of combined experience. We share our office with our wonderful sister agencies, as part of the Captivate Group, where we have Friday drinks, Lunch & Learns and regular social events, including the legendary Missouri Masters cocktail competition. We also go on a fabulous company holiday each year!
We also have some great cross-agency teams that help us make positive changes to the business, such as the D&I team, the Wellness team and the Sustainability team – all of which you would be welcome to join if you wish.
We have big plans to grow our team and expand into new areas – it’s an exciting time at Missouri, so why not join us for the ride?
ABOUT YOU
You are articulate, confident and eager to learn in a friendly and collaborative design agency. The role requires organisation and initiative, so we want a real go-getter with a passion for the creative industry.
You will be working as part of our Client Services team, reporting directly to a Senior Account Manager (SAM) and an Account Director (AD), giving you the opportunity to prove yourself as part of our growing team. As a medium sized agency, you will have the opportunity to work closely with our founding partners and our design team across a number of large global accounts, along with small exciting one-off projects.
There’s an opportunity to quickly take on more responsibility and autonomy in the role, whilst ensuring you progress at the right pace and aren’t out of your depth.
While 1 – 2 years experience is preferable, we are open to candidates at the very start of their career as we would help you grow into your role. A university degree, while preferable, is not a requirement.
We would love anyone with the relevant experience and ambitions to apply. As champions of an inclusive workplace, we’d love to hear from candidates from backgrounds that are currently underrepresented within our industry, including those from a lower socio-economic background, those from Black, Asian and ethnic minority communities, those from the LGBTQIA+ community and disabled people.
