JOBS

Hey! What? is looking for a middleweight designer with strong motion skills and ambition to progress to join our growing studio in Bristol.

​

This is a hands-on, creatively ambitious role for someone with solid agency experience who’s as comfortable crafting bold brand systems as they are bringing them to life through motion.

 

 

The Role

 

You’ll work across a wide range of projects, supporting the senior creative team and playing an active role in shaping ideas from concept through to execution. Around 70% of the role is design-led, with 30% focused on motion and animation – bringing brands to life across digital, social and campaign touchpoints.

​

You’ll be involved in branding, design, advertising and content creation for clients across hospitality, food and drink, music, festivals, venues and larger corporate brands.

 

 

What We’re Looking For

 

• 3–5 years’ agency experience (this is essential)

• Strong graphic design fundamentals, including typography, layout, and visual design sensibilities, with a meticulous eye for detail.

• Proficiency across:

  • InDesign

  • Illustrator

  • Photoshop

• Confident motion and animation skills using:

  • After Effects (essential)

  • Premiere Pro (a bonus)

• Experience using Figma a bonus but not essential.

• With increased client requirements for assets in Canva, knowledge of this platform is also beneficial but not essential

• Experience supporting creative concepting and campaign ideas.

• Able to bring brand identities to life through motion, translating brand strategy into animated outcomes.

• Keen to develop design and motion skills, with an interest in learning new tools, techniques, and software as part of ongoing professional growth.

• Strong verbal and written communication skills, confident in presenting work and engaging constructively with feedback and direction.

 

 

The Team & Studio

 

You’ll report into the Creative Director and Lead Designer, working closely with the wider studio and accounts team. We also share our space with Duchess Media, collaborating regularly across campaigns, launches and events.

​

The studio is lively, social and full of big personalities, but you’ll need to be able to focus, manage your own time and take responsibility for your work.

 

 

Culture Fit

 

You’ll thrive here if you’re:

• Culturally curious and creatively switched on

• Interested in music, hospitality and live experiences

• Confident, organised, self-motivated and comfortable owning your output

• Happy working in a collaborative, energetic environment

​

BENEFITS

 

• 25 days holiday (plus bank holidays and 2-3 extra days for Christmas)

• Enhanced parental leave policies

• Pension contribution

• Hybrid or flexible working when required

• Regular opportunities for festival and event tickets through our clients

• Opportunities to work on pitches and big ideas

• Clear progression path and regular reviews

• Cycle to work scheme

• Invitations and tickets to launches, openings and industry nights

 

 

Practical Stuff

 

• Location: Bristol (primarily office-based, with flexibility when needed)

• Salary: Dependent on experience

• Start date: March 2026

• Working environment:

  • Central Stokes Croft studio with a front row seat overlooking Turbo Island

  • Strong agency social scene

  • A respected creative studio with high standards and strong strategic thinking

 

 

About Hey! What?

 

We’re a strategic branding and creative agency working across hospitality, culture, music and experience-led brands – creating bold, distinctive work that connects with real audiences. We take the work seriously, not ourselves.
