Who we're looking for
The ideal individual will have a background in the entertainment industry or FMCG with a strong focus on packaging, advertising and campaign management.

What is most important is the ability to give direction, guidance, inspiration and a clear vision to our third party suppliers and agencies, the key focus will be working with agencies to manage and direct projects from initial concept through to final print, be it packaging, online campaigns, press advertising or TV and radio campaigns.
