• You will be busy and hands-on. Most of your week is capturing, editing and publishing, not planning strategy.
• Ideas are welcome once you know how we work. Earn your understanding of the brands, the cars and our customers first. If you want to learn from people who are good at this and help a respected business tell its story, you will thrive here. If you are looking to take over the creative lead from day one, this is not the role for you.
