At Individual Restaurants, we create more than great food we deliver memorable experiences. With a portfolio including Piccolino, Restaurant Bar & Grill, Forbici and Riva, our restaurants are built on energy, quality and exceptional service. Working at the centre of the marketing function, the Creative Lead will translate brand, trading and commercial objectives into compelling creative ideas that drive awareness, engagement, footfall, bookings and guest loyalty. You will lead the development of bigger-picture campaign concepts, visual identities, content systems and design execution across print, digital, social, CRM, menus, in-restaurant collateral, photography, video and presentation materials.

Job Responsibility

  • Lead the creative direction across Individual Restaurants’ brands, ensuring each brand has a clear, distinctive and commercially relevant creative expression

  • Own the creative development of seasonal campaigns, menu launches, new openings, refurbishments, events, partnerships and key commercial moments
  • Challenge and elevate briefs, ensuring the creative response is strategically sound, guest-focused, brand-right and commercially useful
  • Maintain, evolve and protect brand guidelines, tone, visual identity systems and creative standards across the full portfolio

Requirements

  • Proven experience in a Creative Lead, Senior Designer or Brand Creative role
  • Strong portfolio across branding, campaigns, digital, print and social
  • Excellent design skills using Adobe Creative Suite
  • Experience generating campaign ideas, not just executing briefs

  • Commercial awareness and a passion for building brands that perform

Nice to have

  • Hospitality, retail, leisure or lifestyle brand experience
