Get Familiar

Something Familiar is a creative agency in Bristol, and our vision is to be the most trusted creative partner for times of change. We work across strategy, brand, digital and campaign, as one studio. You'll be close to the work and close to clients, and trusted to bring your own thinking from day one.

Our founders are all creatives, so that instinct runs through everything we do. We value clear thinking, ownership, and long-term partnerships. We're also a B Corp. More than half our clients sit outside the UK, so the work reaches a lot further than Bristol.

We're looking for someone who's genuinely curious; about the work, about their own growth, and about where design is heading. Brand strategy and identity is where we start, but we rarely stop there. We take brands into the digital world through fully bespoke websites, developed in-house, paid advertising campaigns and when the work calls for it, out of home.

We're looking for a curious and collaborative candidate who wishes to develop their own skills whilst constantly pushing what's possible in this space.
