Creative Content Designer

The Creative Content Designer will be responsible for creating polished, performance-focused visual assets across digital, video, web, social and print for both Buy Me Media and our clients.

This role requires genuine design craft, commercial awareness and versatility. We are not looking for someone who simply fills out Canva templates. We need a confident visual storyteller who can take a raw brief, campaign objective, brand framework or piece of data and turn it into creative that gets noticed and delivers a purpose.

Your workload will adapt as client demands shift from week to week. You could be creating paid social creative in the morning, designing a client website page in the afternoon and editing a short-form video or preparing a pitch deck the next day.

You will work closely with our Digital Campaigns team, Account Managers and wider agency to ensure every asset has a clear purpose.
