Creative Artworker

Salary: £30k+ (dependent on experience)

You enjoy spending your days reviewing, amending, retouching and reworking designs and artwork files, ensuring they’re ready for final print and digital applications.

You have an eye for detail and understand how print and pixel work together. You’re a dab hand a PowerPoint too.

Your portfolio showcases your ability to take creative from designers and turn them into files that you have also checked over for final production, ready to leave the building.

You’re looking for an agency where you can thrive and grow. Somewhere you’ll get mentoring and support to develop your personal and professional skills as well as the camaraderie that comes from being part of a tight-knit team in a growing regional agency.

If this sounds like you, take a look at what we have to offer at Marlow-based agency BWP…
