A content agency that challenges and supports you

We are looking for outstanding freelance editorial designers to help our creative team.

You will be designing excellent layouts for a variety of magazines, so it is crucial you have an exceptional eye for detail and, most importantly, be bursting with creative ideas.

You must have extensive knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite applications and at least two years’ editorial design experience. Apply with a portfolio and your hourly/daily rate to kevin.reed@cpl.co.uk

We are always looking for talented freelance designers for both short-term and long-term projects, to work as part of our creative team. 

You will be working on a wide range of print and digital projects, from magazines, marketing campaign materials and infographics, to animation design and video idents. The ability to work under pressure and to tight deadlines is crucial, as is extensive knowledge of Adobe Creative Suite applications and at least two years’ agency experience.

If this sounds like you, then please get in contact. Apply to kevin.reed@cpl.co.uk with a portfolio and your hourly/daily rate.

THE ROLE

You will be selling advertising for a variety of membership organisations, selling across print and digital channels and giving operational support to the wider team.

No two days will be the same: you will be speaking to clients over the phone and face to face, to gain an understanding of their business objectives to create compelling advertising and promotional solutions; you will work with sales and production colleagues to draw up flatplans to ensure artwork arrives on time and is in the right place; and you’ll be speaking to advertisers about their payments and chasing those that are slow in settling the bill!

As you’ll be working across a number of markets and sectors, and have varied responsibilities, you must be able to demonstrate the ability to handle different systems, be computer literate, have excellent verbal and written communication skills, and demonstrate time-management skills.

REQUIRED SKILLS

You will be optimistic, enthusiastic, professional, energetic and talkative. Our selling style is consultative, not aggressive, so you must be able to demonstrate excellent negotiation and communication skills (both on the telephone and face to face), have a positive and adaptable attitude, and be looking for a new challenge and an opportunity to develop your career.

DESIRED SKILLS

Ideally, you will already have commercial experience of selling print and/or online advertising for a B2B or B2C print/online title. Previous experience of working for membership bodies would be an advantage, but not essential.

HOW YOU'LL BENEFIT

• Competitive salary - dependent on experience

• 28 days’ annual leave, plus bank holidays

• Pension

• Subsidised parking

• Relaxed, friendly office; bi-weekly fruit deliveries; beer on a Friday; occasional ice creams and apple pies

• Regular social events and annual Christmas party
