Midweight Motion Graphics Artists - come work alongside world class creative talent to produce animated solutions for a varied roster of clients, this is your chance to join a growing studio in Sandhurst, Berkshire.

If you see this as an exciting opportunity to help grow a business, and wear multiple hats at the same time as doing some serious animating, you'll fit right in!We're a warm, collaborative team who love to share ideas and find clever ways to get the job done by drawing on each others' strengths, taking ownership of projects, taking pride in their delivery. We favour an open office environment to nurture that collaboration.
