Salary & bonuses

We have confirmed our salary ranges are consistent with the average across all creative agencies across the UK. Of primary importance is your decision about whether this is the company for you. We pay team bonuses when company wide and departmental targets are reached (usually at least once, and at times more often during the financial year), and you have access to an equipment fund and mental health support fund.

The starting salary range for designer roles is between £20k and £26k, depending on experience and qualifications. If your experience is stronger, a higher starting salary range may be available to you.
