Stink Studios

About you

Your experience extends beyond traditional advertising, into the world 360 campaigns, digital thinking and social focused ideas. You find inspiration from anywhere, and it shows in your work.

You’re equal parts a leader and a practitioner: the idea of building and guiding a creative team excites you, but staying close to the work is equally as important and energising. You have strong cultural references, enjoy emerging technologies and understand the internet. You can also recognise how these can inform our work.

You’re comfortable interacting with senior clients and industry professionals, and are a persuasive presenter who communicates effectively, whether that’s with your most junior team member or the CEO of a FTSE 100 company. You see the commercial success of a business as equally as important as its creative ambition.

Culture is important to you, you foster positive working environments; people enjoy working with you, and you enjoy working with people. If you’re ready to roll up your sleeves, inspire and lead a high-performing team that gives a damn, and partner closely with amazing clients, let’s talk.
