Senior Creative Team

Hello, we’re Impero.

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

We work with high-profile, global brands such as George at ASDA, Estee Lauder, Chivas, Corona, Budweiser, First Choice, Paco Rabanne, Great Ormond Street Hospital, and a bunch of others.

We’re pretty good at what we do. We won Campaign Magazine’s Independent Agency of the Year in 2022 and have been nominated and shortlisted for many others. We also made it onto Campaign Magazine’s 100 best places to work.

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

There are about 40 of us (not including the dogs) — but that number grows all the time because we’re still young and hungry.

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

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

We don’t really 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.

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

The role:

You’ll know what the average creative does. But we’re not after the average creative. People and culture are a big deal for us, and we want someone who will fit into the positivity, passion, and raw talent that’s brimming in our agency.

You’ll create work across multiple channels and brand types. We’re a fantastically varied and motivated agency, growing in skill all the time. You’ll find inspiration to continue doing award winning work. We have a hunger for awards, and gradually you’ll help us get shelves full of them.

On pitches, you’ll work closely with strategy and design to find the one thing the client can’t say ‘no’ to. You’ll also charm would-be clients with your quick thinking, intelligence, and no-nonsense approach.

Creativity is at the heart of what we do, and you’ll make sure that it remains strategically on point, and translates into work that yields credible results. We don’t just get things out of the door, we make stuff to be proud of, to answer business problems, and to make brands famous.

The creative department (like the rest of the agency) is growing, so you’ll be exposed to working with other senior team members. This is a genuine chance to stamp your mark on an agency, so you’ll need the ambition to want to. You certainly won’t be just another cog in the machine.

The type of people we want to meet:

You’re a midweight or senior team, with confidence in your ability, and yet the humility to know that neither you nor anyone else is the “finished article”.

You’ll be expected to deliver cracking ideas, and your portfolio will have plenty of brilliant “I wish I’d thought of that” ideas to show you can. Chances are you’ll have some famous and/or award-winning work under your belt already.

You’re inspiring too, with an enthusiasm to lift the quality and effort of those around you.

You can spot a great idea from fifty paces. You have great ideas of your own and you know what a big idea is, how to articulate it, bring it to life in multiple touch points, and sell it with great passion and aplomb. But you’ll be just as good with tactical executions and content. And when it’s ready, you can convince, persuade, and delight.

You’re obsessive about craft - haunted by that little thing you can’t quite put your finger on until you spot it, and use it to elevate the work another satisfying notch.

We’re an agile, fast-paced, and hands-on agency - and we work best with others who take the same approach.

What else:

You’ll never work alone, there is always support from all corners of the agency, including our Head of Strategy, Production Team, Accounts Teams, and Head of Design.

Most importantly, you must have the same fire as the rest of our team to push Impero onwards and upwards with famous work that keeps on entering culture.

The perks of working at Impero include:

• Being part of something special — this is an exciting growing agency with no board of directors, or shareholders to report to.
• Opportunity to Opt into our Health Insurance.
• Life Assurance and Income Protection.
• Enhanced Maternity/Paternity Policy.
• Hybrid Working.
• Work from Anywhere Policy.
• The ability to stamp your mark on an organisation – not just be a cog in the machine.
• Free snacks and coffee (when you’re in the office).
• Seasonal company parties.
• The love of seven rotating office dogs.
• A ‘yes work’s important, but let’s not get too serious’ vibe.
• A distinct lack of bureaucracy or politics.
• Ownership over your own projects whilst enjoying an inclusive environment.

Final word:

This is an awesome place to work. We’re in control of our own destiny. But it means we’re the only ones that can deliver it. We’re all massively ambitious and hard working. But it’s also fun.

We all get along, there’s no politics, just heaps of passion. We’re the creative industry’s new guard. And it’s awesome.
