Mid-Weight Designer

**Who is Emotive?**

Emotive creates ideas that change the way people feel about brands. In a world filled with too much marketing, most of which is ignored or ineffective, brands need empathy to overcome apathy and connect with their audience. That's where Emotive can help.

Emotive is an independent creative company making ideas that live within advertising, entertainment, and design. Part ad agency, part production company, part specialist experience and creative amplification unit, Emotive is uniquely structured so it can respond to clients' business issues or opportunities effectively, rather than default to 'traditional comms' as the answer.

**The Emotive culture**

Grow a culture and you'll grow an agency. Nothing is more important, and we intend to hog the best people not just by creating great work, but by building a culture of independence, creativity and fun they just can't bear to leave. At the heart of our culture are four simple values that act as the framework for how we roll: Emotional intelligence, Honesty, Ambition and Fun.

We have a diverse mix of people at Emotive. They're all ridiculously talented and none of them have a ridiculous ego. We'll do everything to make the work better, except sacrificing the well-being of our people.
