MID WEIGHT DESIGNER - Shopper & GTR experience

About Impero

​

Hello, we’re Impero.  

We’re an independent, award-winning creative agency.  

We work with high-profile, global brands such as George at ASDA, Chivas, Jameson, The Glenlivet, Aspall, Sue Ryder, Nike and a bunch of others.  

​

Awards and Recognition

We’re pretty good at what we do. We’ve been nominated for two Agency of The Year(s) including The Drum DADI Agency of the Year in 2022. We were also shortlisted as Campaign Independent Agency of the Year and have been named Campaign Best Places to Work. We were awarded a Silver Arrow at the British Arrows Awards and are Campaign’s 2022 Global Integrated Agency of the Year.  

​

Goals

This year we have our sights set on a D&AD and/or Cannes Lion.  

​

The Team

There are about 40 of us, but that number grows all the time because we’re still young, ambitious and do great work.  

We’re also 70% female with a 50/50 gender split on the senior team. We proudly have 100% pay parity, and it kind of annoys us that we even have to mention that as something unique within this industry.  

​

Our Approach

We don’t like the ‘Old Guard’ of advertising. This is an agency that uses passion, ingenuity, and an anything-is-possible attitude to deliver work across all kinds of platforms. It’s one of the reasons why working here is a hell of a lot of fun. Everything’s to play for.  

We gladly do things differently. We‘re super ambitious, honest and always deliver.  

​

Opportunities

Not surprisingly, this is a growing agency, so we’re looking for a Mid-Weight Designer who wants to be part of and help drive that growth.  

​

The Role

Your primary goal is to ensure Impero’s design work continues to be the award-winning work we are infinitely proud of. The majority of the workload will consist of work for our Shopper & Global Travel retail clients such as Jameson, The Glenlivet, Chivas and many others. Therefore experience in this sector will be beneficial.  

​

Requirements

Midweight Designers should have sound technical skills, a clear understanding of design trends and an ability to apply different styles across brands. You should have a good understanding of Visual Design and be able to contribute to concept sessions as well as sell ideas clearly.  

​

The Ideal Candidate

Most importantly, you must have the same drive as the rest of our team to push Impero to continue making award-winning work. You must be talented, ambitious & driven.  

​

Collaboration

Midweights will work under senior team members. They will also need to work closely with our Creatives and Project Managers. Their role is to execute all requests made of them with enthusiasm, speed, and reliability, demonstrating great attention to detail, total trustworthiness and initiative.  

​

Qualifications

If you live and breathe design, we want to meet you. But above all, you must embody our core values and fit within our culture. We want to meet you if you…
