Ghosts. A swimming pool. Two mischievous kittens. At McCann Manchester, it’s fair to say we’re a little different.

We work with some of the UK’s most interesting brands and we’re looking for a Midweight Creative Designer to come and join us to provide Mat Leave cover for one of our team on a 3 day per week basis. Armbands optional.
