About weareseventeen

weareseventeen is an independent creative studio specialising in moving image. Based in London, we create ambitious and engaging content to tell the stories of iconic and impactful global brands. We call what we do 'creativity that moves' - striving for our work to move ideas and brands forward to ultimately move their audiences in meaningful ways and inspire action.

We're a studio motivated to push boundaries and give our team space to innovate, develop new aesthetics and explore new technologies. Our team ranges from technical experts in 3D, design and future-facing softwares, to creative directors with strategy and storytelling at their core, and a world-class production team that manage our clients and team in a super creative and agile way, to get the best results for the brief at hand.

For years we've partnered with global brands including Coca-Cola, Michael Kors, Tissot, BBC and more. Our ethos of 'championing decency' is woven into how we behave day to day, the decisions we make, and how we treat each other and our clients. High-end work is our MO, though we never compromise our humanity and values in the process. Being human, open and supportive to our team and our clients is non-negotiable.

The role is full-time 4.5 days per week (we finish at 1pm every Friday). We work together from the studio 2 days per week and it is key that our EP is in the London studio on these days, including an additional day if possible. We encourage a combination of home and studio-based days.
