Midweight Creative | Bristol

Job Description

Location: Bristol

Full time, permanent

You're reading this ad, so you're ready to outthink. To take your skills, knowledge and experience beyond what you thought possible. And TMP268 is the place to do it.

TMP268 is a creatively strategic marketing agency, home to the Armed Forces Recruitment Service. Protecting the nation begins here.

And what does that mean for you? It means new challenges to rise to. Being encouraged and empowered to outthink at every opportunity. It means creating industry-first solutions, harnessing emerging tech, and realising AI's potential to create human connection. It means feeling valued for everything you bring. And work you can be proud to call your own, whatever your role.

The role

We're looking for exceptional creatives to join our team and shape the future of the Armed Forces Recruitment Service. If you're a midweight Copywriter, Art Director, or a brilliant creative team, this is your chance to turn big thinking into work that genuinely matters.

You believe creativity has the power to change minds, spark action and shape culture. You want to make show-stopping work with real purpose — fame-making, behaviour-changing ideas that resonate far beyond the brief.

As a Copywriter, Art Director or midweight Creative Team, you are an exemplary thinker with the ability to create and deliver simple, powerful ideas across multiple channels. You'll be entrusted with leading campaign development across the full breadth of the Armed Forces Recruitment Service — from defining master brand platforms to crafting targeted communications for specific roles and professions.

Naturally curious, you thrive in a collaborative environment and fully immerse yourself in every brief you take on. Your work is insight-led but fuelled by imagination, experimentation and creative problem-solving. Not afraid to test and learn, you have a genuine appetite for innovation and enjoy pushing ideas further to unlock their full potential.

You'll develop a deep understanding of the target audience and the media landscape that best connects with them, producing work that cuts through, inspires and drives action. Above all, you believe in the power of creativity — striving to make show-stopping work with real cultural resonance and purpose, delivering fame-making, behaviour-changing ideas that truly make an impact.

 Who we're looking for

With a passion for creating brilliant and effective work, you have proven expertise in copywriting and/or art direction. This is backed by a strong portfolio of work that showcases culturally relevant campaigns. Plus, you're able to present and clearly communicate your ideas. You're an active listener and can take on feedback from others.

You'll have resilience and great organisational skills to thrive in our fast-paced environment. You're a team player who is passionate about encouraging others to achieve too. And you're comfortable being self-managed and working independently.

Prior agency experience is preferred. It would be nice to see a degree or equivalent qualification.

What's in it for me?

You're set to gain so much from being part of our team, including:

• Time off to rest or conquer items on the bucket list with 27 days' holiday (+ 8 bank holidays) and a holiday purchase benefit where you can buy up to an additional 5 days.
• Great company paid benefits including our health cash plan, life assurance, company pension and access to an Employee Assistance Programme.
• A hybrid working pattern plus other great flexible benefits such as a TechScheme, free mortgage advice and more.
• Individual development plans with customised learning solutions, including clear career pathways designed to support individual growth and career advancement.
• Excellent health benefits – get cash back on your everyday healthcare costs with our flexible dental and cash plan benefits or grab some great discounts at your local gym.
• Opportunities to give back and care for our environment with eco-friendly benefits like our cycle to work scheme.
