Midweight Creative

Hello, we're Impero →

We’re an independent, award-winning creative agency.

We work with high-profile, global brands such as Jameson, The Glenlivet, Aspall, Funkin Cocktails, KA, Heinz, P&G and a bunch of others.

We’re pretty good at what we do. In recent years we’ve won Campaign’s Global Integrated Agency of the Year, as well as being nominated for two Agency of The Year(s) including The Drum DADI Agency of the Year. We’ve also been shortlisted as Campaign Independent Agency of the Year and have been named Campaign Best Places to Work.

There are about 25 of us, but that number grows all the time because we’re ambitious and do great work.

We’re 70% female with a 50/50 gender split on the Senior Team. We proudly have 100% pay parity, and it kind of annoys us that we even have to mention that as something unique within this industry.

We don’t like the ‘Old Guard’ of advertising. This is an agency that uses passion, ingenuity, and an anything-is-possible attitude to deliver work across all kinds of platforms. It’s one of the reasons why working here is a hell of a lot of fun. Everything’s to play for.

We gladly do things differently. We‘re super ambitious, honest and always deliver. Not surprisingly, this is a growing agency, so we’re looking for a Mid-Weight Creative who wants to be part of it and help drive that growth.

The final word →

This is an awesome place to work. We are in control of our own destiny. But it means we’re the only ones that can deliver it. We’re all massively ambitious and hard-working. But it’s also fun. We all get along; there is no politics, just heaps of passion. We’re the creative industry’s new guard. And it’s awesome.
