Creative Technologist guru - London Ad Agency

Location: Central London
Salary: £60k

A top London advertising agency is now looking for a senior, hybrid designer/tech person to lead a team that develops and delivers innovative, engaging, cross-platform, integrated experiences for its clients.

If you're an accomplished senior technologist with a real flair for design, or a designer with an unusually high ability and knowledge of the technology side, this could be right up your street. You will need to have been a real hands-on person in web/advertising design and development but are now looking to be more directorial in approach.

The agency in question is a rare beast. An old-school company that has totally embraced the digital world in general. Interactive ideas and the way technology can breathe life into any creative idea are now at the core of the company's ethos. There is a totally integrated approach across all departments with no them-and-us heirarchy between old and new media. The goal is to be the best, so they want to hire the best.

So, does this describe you?...

+ You are a can-do person and naturally think beyond established formats. You naturally imagine what could be possible in interactive design: ie, you like a techy challenge.

+ You're a gifted communicator, with a wealth of cross-platform experience across a range of technologies. You keep up with the latest digital trends and are an evangelist for the use of new technologies.

+ You might have started off with Flash microsites, but more recently you've probably involved yourself in installations, or application development for Facebook API, Twitter API, iPhone or Android.

+ Importantly, you enjoy developing ideas with creative teams, have a passion for clever design, interaction, gameplay and campaign storytelling.

+ You should have a close working knowledge of stuff like OOP design patterns, Ajax, HTML5, PHP, Papervision, Away 3D, developing for Objective C or Java for Android etc. You should also have extensive knowledge of rich media ad platforms such as Eyeblaster, DoubleClick, FlashTalking, Atlas, etc.

If you're interested, please send your CV and online portfolio to either Rob at Rob@gabrieleskelton.com or Xavier at Xavier@gabrieleskelton.com
