Online Marketing Assistant — Manchester
£Attractive + Benefits
As keywords go, innovation is definitely one of our favourites. We think it sums up perfectly the approach we take to recruitment communications. Which we guess is why we’ve become one of the UK’s fastest growing recruitment advertising agencies. That and the fact that we’ve a big commitment to meeting the needs of clients - with just few of the better known ones including BSkyB, HBOS, M&S Money and Next.
Increasingly, this has come to mean interactive and online advertising. In fact, we’ve been rather busy doing this kind of thing lately. And we’re going to get a lot, lot busier. So we’ve created this role for someone, of graduate calibre, who’d jump at the chance to learn all about this challenging, stimulating and very fast-evolving area of marketing.
You’ll also have the opportunity to work with some very talented people, all of whom will value the bright ideas you bring and your methodical, analytical and ever-so-detail-conscious approach. As for an understanding of the finer details of online marketing, it’d obviously be an advantage. But what’s far more important to us is your potential. Which you can be sure we’ll both recognise and develop to the full.
Send your CV to Cathy Younge and tell us why you’re the person we’re searching for.
Junior Front-end Web Developer — Manchester
Temporary 3 month contract
If you’re a fledgling front-end developer, this is a great opportunity to take your first professional steps in the wonderfully wide world of the web.
So, just what is it that makes this opportunity such a great one? Well, for a start, you’ll have the chance to apply your experience of using HTML and CSS to a range of creative, eye-catching but, above all, functional sites. For clients such as Sky, HBOS, M&S Money and Next.
Then there’s the industry knowledge and insight you’ll gain from our talented and experienced (and very friendly) team of in-house designers and developers. Stuff that’ll look really on your CV – covering design, layout, navigation, production and maintenance.
What we’re looking for is someone whose Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Illustrator skills go hand-in-hand with a real appreciation design and, ideally an understanding of web accessibility and standards compliance.
If you know a thing or two about Flash, ActionScript, PHP and JavaScript, so much the better. But, as we’ve said, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to learn all about them if you don’t. As well as the back-end bits of development.
Send your CV to Martin Robinson and tell us why you’re the person we’re looking for.
