Role
Creative Marketing at AXON is all about doing the right thing. We believe that's about honest consultation with clients, so we act in their interests but not always according to their brief. Insightful consideration to unlock more value. And pushing creativity upstream to give it more clout. All this gives us confidence in what we deliver and builds confidence in us.
Creative Marketing is the newest practice in AXON, so we have the rare opportunity to build and shape the practice just the way we want to. We're looking for a like-minded Artworker who is set up for the challenge and genuinely interested in the experience of building our practice and with the support of their team, driving their client accounts and projects. Joining the Creative Marketing team at AXON will give team members at all levels opportunities they may not experience in a mainstream healthcare marketing agency – including opportunities to work with practices outside of creative marketing, working on Global/European accounts and internal responsibilities that help shape the direction of our practice. If you're an ambitious Artworker looking for a new opportunity to push yourself and your career to that next step, we would love to hear from you.
As a Creative Artworker, you'll play a vital role in turning strong creative ideas into beautifully finished, production-ready outputs. This is a varied role for someone who genuinely enjoys the craft of artworking; from typographic finesse in print through to confident execution across digital formats and light motion work.
You'll thrive in this role if you're detail-oriented, calm under pressure, and take pride in delivering work properly, every time.
Working closely with designers, creatives, account teams and production leads, you'll help bring creative ideas over the finish line by ensuring all deliverables are technically accurate, visually polished, and aligned with brand and compliance standards.

We have a keen focus on training and development and, as a rough guide, suggest employees aim to complete 37.5 hours of learning a year through online learning, classroom training, or attending external events; that's 1 week a year dedicated to your development.

We are looking for candidates who are curious, adaptable and enthusiastic about embracing AI and emerging technologies as part of their everyday working practices.
Successful candidates will demonstrate a growth mindset around AI and emerging technologies, shown through an openness to learning new tools, experimenting with innovative ways of working, and using AI responsibly and transparently.
