MATTA believes sport can improve people and communities, and wants to make brands and campaigns matter to more people by engaging fans with bold creative work. The agency is hiring a Senior Creative who specialises in copy and ideation.
The ideal candidate is a midweight or senior creative with several years of agency experience and a portfolio that shows strong concepts, copy craft and social fluency. The role covers big campaign platforms, taglines, scripts, social-first ideas, short-form content and reactive work – and MATTA wants people who understand that ideas must be built differently for each channel, not simply adapted. Think of it as an "ideas machine" role: high-quality thinking, produced quickly, without sacrificing craft.
What you'll be doing
Ideation: generate original creative thinking across briefs, audiences and channels
Creative excellence: turn insight into strong concepts, and concepts into standout work
Copywriting, scriptwriting and storytelling: write taglines, scripts, headlines, narratives and campaign copy
Social-first creativity: create ideas native to social and digital, including short-form, reactive, creator-led and larger social campaigns
Integrated thinking: build ideas that work across channels, knowing when to start in social and when a broader campaign is needed
Cultural and social relevance: develop platforms and content that reflect culture and communities and give people a reason to take part
End-to-end ownership: own briefs from first thought through to delivery
Creative storytelling: build presentations that guide clients from insight to final idea
Client confidence: present, sell and defend your thinking to clients and colleagues
Visual direction: help shape art direction, moodboards and storyboards for film, content and campaigns
Collaboration: work closely with art directors, designers, strategists and the wider team
What we're looking for
Essential experience
Outstanding portfolio: strong conceptual thinking, excellent copy and ideas across multiple formats and channels
Social and digital native: deep knowledge of social platforms, formats, behaviours and communities, with work conceived for digital rather than adapted to it
Integrated campaign experience: developing ideas across social, digital, content, earned and broader campaign channels
Platform and cultural fluency: curiosity about emerging platforms, creators and trends, with the judgement to separate real opportunities from trend-chasing
Strong presentation skills: a proven ability to sell work clearly and confidently
Sector awareness: strong awareness of sport, culture and entertainment
Leadership and collaboration: a collaborative approach and the ability to lead, challenge and inspire others
Creative integrity: high standards, strong opinions and knowing when to push
Strong visual instincts: a good visual eye and comfort shaping look, feel and creative direction
