Creative Marketer

If you see the world like a designer and move like a marketing specialist, this is your moment.

Verve is a strategic branding studio, made up of strategists, designers, developers and problem solvers of all stripes. We work across our twin studios in Amsterdam and The Hague to solve brand problems for companies around the world.

We work with businesses that aspire to grow through design and storytelling, and we partner with them to articulate who they are and what they stand for.

We’re looking for a cross-disciplinary Creative Marketer who can tell stories of Verve’s own creative work, our thinking, and our culture into the world with the same level of care and conviction.

Put simply: we’re searching for a designer at heart, who also happens to be exceptional at marketing. We want to see a demonstration of your design literacy, not just writing or content skills.

The Role

You turn the Verve story into momentum. You give shape to the narratives behind our work, build relevance around our expertise, and create moments that deepen our reputation.

You’ll work closely with our founders, creative teams, partners, and clients. You’ll help bring new brands to market, elevate our own voice, and develop the kinds of content, campaigns, and experiences that move people to pay attention.

This Creative Marketer role is a mix of content strategy and design production.

We need someone who is at ease working alongside elite design teams, and who can instinctively know how to frame and explain this design work with the same care as the designers themselves.

You Will

• Direct Verve case studies that reveal the strategic thinking and design craft behind our complex work.
• Shape Verve campaigns that launch new brands into the world.
• Develop editorial pieces, interviews, and formats that express our perspective on branding and culture.
• Zig and zag between Figma, Miro, Drive, Slack, and other tools, throughout the day.
• Curate and produce Verve events, from the concept, to lists of speakers and partners to invite.
• Elevate our presence across channels, ensuring every touchpoint feels unmistakably Verve.
• Identify opportunities to strengthen our visibility and act on them with clarity and drive.

You’ll work at least 32 hours per week, with at least three days working on site in our studio in Amsterdam or The Hague.

You Bring

• 3+ years of experience in content, creative production, brand marketing, and/or design-led editorial work.
• Native-level English writing skills.
• Copywriting skills that are capable of being energetic or sophisticated as needed.
• A strategic mind: you understand how stories shape perception and reputation.
• A strong visual sensibility: an ability to recognize clarity, balance, and craft, and to sense when something is off before anyone has to say it.
• A producer’s instinct: you move ideas from thought to execution, while managing expectations along the way.
• Comfort working directly inside design tools (Figma, Miro, etc.) to review work, structure narratives, and collaborate with designers in real time.
• The ability to create simple visual assets from scratch, using existing templates and ready-made project deliverables.
• Bonuses include: familiarity with SEA, SEA, GEO, Statamic, social ad campaign management, UX writing, or B2B lead generation.
