Quick note: we have made the decision not to work with recruitment agencies to place any roles at Illustrate Digital. If you are part of a recruitment agency or similar service, kindly do not contact us about these roles.
It’s exciting times in the life of Illustrate Digital as we continue to grow despite a global pandemic. The existing team across our Cardiff and Bristol locations took up the challenge of temporarily leaving the office back in March and have been working from home ever since, ensuring we keep things business as usual.
As a result it’s meant that we’ve been able to attract some great new clients for current and future projects and demand for our service is at an all-time high.
So it’s great to have the opportunity of welcoming two new great people to our team and to continue with our plans for growth through 2020.
Let’s take a look at the new roles available at one of Cardiff & Bristol’s fastest growing agencies…

What’s it like to work at ID?
Things are a little different at the moment with everyone working from home – but our company culture shines through regardless! Illustrate Digital is a fun, innovative and positively challenging brand to work for.
The team
The heart of who we are is a bunch of people who know how to have a laugh, but equally how to get things done. Split across two offices (normally) we’ve created a working environment that carries into a remote and digital setting, as it’s important that we all feel a part of the same community.
Whether you see us as nerdy, or just passionate about our subject matter, there’s no getting away from the fact that we value people and care for each other. Teams are setup to challenge each other, but also look out for each other and everyone has a dedicated line manager to help work on their career progress and personal goals.
Character and culture are really important to us and we’ll always hire someone’s attitude, passion and enthusiasm before we’ll hire their skill or talent. In other words, we’re picky about our people, but that’s what helps create a great culture and produces brilliant work we can be proud of together.
Our clients
We strive to acquire highly ambitious clients who want to do some of the best marketing and make some of the best website experiences available. We thrive on producing high-quality work, well-known for the high performance WordPress sites that we create, putting the power back in the hands of the marketer or content creator.
Clients are normally those seeking either a great web experience for their end-users, aiming to tell the unique story of their brand or business. Or they’re seeking a better way of implementing WordPress, whether that be simply using the Gutenberg editor, or a complex series of integrations that make their business more efficient.
Either way, our client relationships are set up to be collaborative. We believe it’s the best way to drive great results; we don’t know everything, but neither do our clients. Together we’re the perfect combination.
P.S. Yes, we’re picky about the clients we bring on board. 😉
