Creative Studio Graduate

Creative Studio Graduate

This is a 2 year graduate role within the JD Group Studio Creative team. Designed for a motivated candidate, this is a hands‑on, immersive opportunity that bridges the gap between creative theory and real‑world studio experience.

You’ll be fully embedded within a fast‑paced, commercially driven environment, contributing to work across campaigns, social and digital outputs for one of the UK’s most recognisable sportswear and fashion brands.

This isn’t a passive role. From day one, you’ll collaborate with photographers, videographers, creatives, designers, retouchers and producers to deliver real work.

You’ll gain exposure to the full lifecycle of creative projects, from interpreting briefs and contributing to ideation, through to execution and delivery. With guidance from experienced team members and your manager, you’ll follow a structured two‑year development plan designed to grow both your creative thinking and technical craft — progressing from social channel‑focused content delivery in year one to campaign‑level creative leadership by year two.

Building craft, pace and commercial instinct through high‑volume, channel‑first content delivery.

Primary focus:
Social & paid media content.

Output types:
Organic social, paid ads, e‑commerce assets.

Working style:
Supported, collaborative, reactive.

• Support with creation and ideation of paid and organic social content across Instagram, Tik Tok, You Tube and emerging channels, studio and on set.
• On set support producing digital focused site imagery across footwear, apparel and accessories.
• Learn how to interpret briefs quickly and translate them into channel‑appropriate creative executions.
• Work alongside retouchers, producers and designers to understand how the full studio pipeline operates.
• Develop working knowledge of performance metrics and how creative decisions affect paid media outcomes.
• Build confidence with Adobe Creative Suite across a range of fast‑turnaround production tasks.
• Contribute to content testing, asset variants and format adaptation across platforms.
• Helping maintain brand consistency and visual quality across all touchpoints.

Applying creative thinking at a larger scale, with more autonomy and providing support to senior team members on campaigns from brief to delivery.

Primary focus:
Global campaigns & tactical launches.

Output types:
Campaign concepts, multi‑market assets.

Working style:
Collaborative, strategic, cross‑functional.

• Contribute to the ideation and development of global campaign concepts, working across multiple markets and brand voices.
• Support the delivery of tactical campaign launches tied to product drops, seasonal moments and brand partnerships.
• Collaborate with brand, marketing and buying teams to align creative with commercial priorities.
• Develop an understanding of how creative strategy differs across global markets, adapting tone, format and visual approach accordingly.
• Support with presentation of creative concepts to stakeholders across the business.

You’ll gain a 360‑degree view of how a modern creative studio operates. From the initial spark of a brief, through internal collaboration and development, to delivering refined creative work.

A structured development plan designed to build your creative and technical skills across the year.

The opportunity to contribute to live briefs, campaigns and brand work seen at scale.

A team culture where contribution, effort and progress are valued.

Own it. Build trust. Stay hungry.

• Ask questions and challenge thinking creatively.
• Take ownership of tasks and projects.
• Develop your technical and creative skillset.
• Contribute ideas and perspectives to the team.
