Senior Creative - Ideation

Here at MATTA, we believe that sports have the power to change people and communities for the better. We are passionate about making brands and campaigns matter to more people, more often by engaging fans with big, bold creative thinking and world-class execution.

We are an independent creative agency built specifically for sports and lifestyle brands. Our work has won multiple awards (from Clios to Sports Industry Campaigns of the Year), we have been Agency of the Year several times over, and we are one of the most exciting sports businesses in the country.

As we continue to grow, we are seeking a Senior Creative, specialising in copy and ideation, to join the team.

You’ll likely be a midweight or senior creative within an agency, with several years’ experience and a portfolio that demonstrates brilliant conceptual thinking, strong copy craft and genuine social fluency.

You’ll be able to generate everything from big campaign platforms, taglines and scripts to social-first ideas, short-form content and culturally reactive work. You’ll understand how ideas behave differently across channels, rather than simply adapting the same campaign for each one.

We’re looking for an ideas machine: someone capable of generating high-quality creative thinking at pace, without compromising on craft.

• Ideation:
  Be an ideas factory, generating strong, original creative thinking across briefs, audiences and channels.
• Creative Excellence:
  Turn insight into compelling creative concepts, and concepts into standout work.
• Copywriting, Scriptwriting & Storytelling:
  Create taglines, scripts, headlines, narratives and campaign copy that cut through.
• Social-First Creativity:
  Create ideas that are native to social and digital platforms, understanding how audiences consume, share and participate in content, from short-form and reactive work to creator-led ideas and larger social campaigns.
• Integrated Thinking:
  Develop big creative ideas that can travel intelligently across channels, knowing when an idea should start in social, when it needs a broader campaign platform, and how different touchpoints can work together.
• Cultural & Social Relevance:
  Develop campaign platforms and content ideas that understand culture, conversation and communities, and give people a reason to engage, share or participate.
• End-to-End Ownership:
  Take ownership of briefs from initial thought through to execution.
• Creative Storytelling:
  Build clear, persuasive presentations that take clients from insight and opportunity through to creative idea and execution.
• Client Confidence:
  Articulate, sell and defend your creative thinking confidently with clients and internally.
• Visual Direction:
  Help shape the creative vision, including art direction, mood boards and storyboards for film, content and campaigns.
• Collaboration:
  
  Work seamlessly with art directors, designers, strategists and the wider team to bring ideas to life.
• Outstanding Portfolio: A portfolio that shows strong conceptual thinking, excellent copy craft and an ability to create ideas across multiple formats and channels.
• Social & Digital Native: A deep understanding of social platforms, formats, behaviours and communities, with a portfolio demonstrating ideas conceived specifically for digital and social environments, not simply adapted for them.
• Integrated Campaign
  
  Experience:
  
  Proven ability to develop ideas across social, digital, content, earned and broader campaign channels, understanding how each plays a different role within an integrated creative idea.
• Platform & Cultural Fluency:
  Natural curiosity about emerging platforms, creators, formats, trends and online behaviours, with the judgement to distinguish genuine creative opportunities from simply chasing what is trending.
