The posting

RESPONSIBILITIES

As a Medium creative you will work with our passionate, multi-talented studio delivering on exceptional, integrated concepts and designs to exceed client briefs and expectations.

A Medium Art Director can expect to be craft-led and platform neutral conceptual thinkers, in particular having an understanding of all major social platforms. Should have a desire to transform companies by creating beautiful, intuitive, and human-centred products and experiences.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
