LET'S GET STARTED

Creative Content Designer

 

Salary: Competitive 

Contract: Permanent, Full-Time

Location: The Sharp Project, Manchester (On-site based)

Company Overview

Buy Me Media is one of the region’s long standing growth marketing agencies. We work with ambitious SMEs and organisations across both the public and private sectors to help them reach and engage their audiences with confidence.

Unlike traditional agencies, our approach combines strategy, creativity, performance marketing and commercial insight to deliver clear, simple marketing that drives measurable success. Creative content and video have become vital assets within that strategy.

Our team is passionate about creating impactful campaigns, delivering measurable results, and fostering strong client partnerships. We offer a collaborative, dynamic work environment based at The Sharp Project in Manchester where your contributions will directly fuel business growth.

Role Overview

The Creative Content Designer will be responsible for creating polished, performance focused visual assets across digital, video and print for both BuyMeMedia and our clients.

This role requires genuine design craft, commercial awareness, and versatility. We are not looking for someone who simply fills out Canva templates. We need a confident visual storyteller who can take raw briefs, campaign data, and brand frameworks and transform them into high-performing digital, video, and print assets

Your workload will adapt as client demands shift week to week. You will support paid media campaigns, organic social, website graphics, print brochures, email marketing, pitch decks and video assets. You will also forward think for retainer clients by researching seasonal trends and producing creative ad concept decks.

You will work closely with our full team to ensure every asset has a clear purpose. Some work will be brand building, some will be conversion focused, and some will be designed to stop the scroll, improve click through rates or elevate a client pitch presentation.
