Is your typical ‘design day’ more like ‘groundhog day’?

At Velo no two days are the same. Working on a huge variety of B2B branding and marketing campaigns means every day is different. Under the stewardship of the Creative Director, the work is diverse, fast moving and engaging. You’ll be immersed ‘on the tools’ in various media from print, to websites and apps, videos, exhibition stands and everything in between.

Our creative team is the engine room of our business, producing fantastic looking projects that tell our clients’ stories. And they are diverse – across great B2B brands including Cisco, Halma, McGraw-Hill and Sage.

You could be part of our team, delivering campaigns that excite, dazzle and resonate. Growing fast and based in SE1, Velo is always on the lookout for creative people – including art directors, digital designers, print designers, artworkers, videographers, editors and photographers. Why not get in touch so you can start enjoying your Mondays again?

Your work will always be varied, while still having enough time to deliver high quality output. Talking of quality, Velo has been recognised for the client work we do time and again. The Drum ranks Velo in the top 5 London agencies, for our size, using client feedback from 50 B2B brands. Not only that, but this year’s B2B Marketing Agency Benchmarking Report lists us as #4 integrated London agency for our size.

At Velo we want you to grow with us, that’s why we focus on helping our team progress their own careers. We’re small enough that everyone’s voice is heard, but large enough that you’ll experience working on a varied mix of projects – all with tons of support and lots of training available too.
