Havas Studios is seeking a Junior Content Creator Platformer with experience creating content for the internet to join our London Studio’s growing team.

Content creators work at the front line of culture, obsessed with making relevant and meaningful work across an array of briefs, platforms and audiences. You both ideate and create the work – shooting, editing and pulling together a piece that makes an impact.

You’re deeply curious, always pushing for the best; well-crafted, well-made work, and able to make at a pace that matches the world we create for. You are forever learning new ways of making – new concepts, new ideas and trends. You’re unfazed and unconstrained by the format, or media and love creating. Full stop.

It’s an exciting time to be in a team that pride themselves on their individual member’s passions. We want someone that is excited to share pride in their work and in the work that Havas Studios puts out.

*This role is part of the HKX Platform x LIFT programme a 6-month in-depth learning experience for people wanting to get into the advertising, communication, and media industry. The programme is ideal for anyone who likes brands, culture, and communication. You’ll be a part of the real team, working on real briefs, doing real work, for real clients.

The programme will run from May – November 2023 and you must be available for full time work for the duration of the programme to be considered.
