About Us...
Ghosts. A swimming pool. Two adorable kittens. At McCann Manchester, it's fair to say we're a little different.
Here the people make the agency, they are what makes our work so unique. That's why we're on the look-out for the people who can contribute to creating great work. We're a creative agency spread across eight acres of countryside in Cheshire, and the rumours are true, we also have a pub, bistro and gym all on-site. McCann Manchester is a big family - the largest integrated agency in the UK in fact.
We work with some of the UK's most interesting brands and we're looking for a Senior Creative with a copywriting background to come and join us on a 12 month fixed term contract. Armbands optional. Please only apply if you can commit to 3 days in the office.
