Working with us

Associates

In order to manage and deliver a broad spectrum of creative projects, some of which require specialist skills that we don’t require on a full-time basis, we have developed a roster of like-minded associates, partners and key specialists.

Entirely driven by the creative process and managed by our in-house project managers, this network allows us to bring together a dedicated team with the skills, knowledge and techniques required to deliver any given task.

Over the years we have built strong relationships with a wide range of associates including: digital strategists, information architects, web developers, mobile app developers, social media experts, designers, researchers, copywriters, photographers, animators, illustrators, artworkers and so on… We even know a great origami artist!

We are always looking to develop our network of associates and partners. If you feel you have skills that can further enhance our offer, please get in touch by contacting: talent@playgroup.com – marking your email ‘Associates’

Recruitment

We don’t currently have any vacancies at Playgroup. We are, however, always keen to hear from talented individuals, so please feel free to drop us a line and wow us with what you can do: talent@playgroup.com – marking your email ‘Recruitment’.

Placements

We do offer occasional work placements to motivated marketing or design students. If you have a passion for design, a bright personality and are willing to muck in, we’d love to hear from you at: talent@playgroup.com – please mark your email ‘Placement’.

Local hangouts

Smiths of Smithfield

One-stop dining extravaganza opposite the meat market that includes everything from homely cooked breakfasts to a swanky top-floor restaurant, and all in an über-cool New York-style environment. Go old skool with their famous fish finger sandwich.

Giant Robot

A buzzy Italian-American inspired bar/diner with exposed brick walls and a retro sci-fi feel, Giant Robot is the place to be seen and one of our current favourites. Get stuck in to a feast of meatballs, mash and ice cream sandwiches all washed down with an icy cocktail.

The Dovetail

Tucked away in the historic Jerusalem Passage is this wonderful Belgian Beer bar. Grab a pint of chunky chips and a glass of Delerium Tremens (voted the Best Beer in the World), which at 9% is guaranteed to make you see pink elephants!

Magma Books

A source of inspiration and a place of wonder for all things creative. Want to find that long forgotten typeface, discover what’s happening in contemporary Japanese architecture or source the latest issue of that ‘hard-to-find’ design magazine? Then look no further. Plus they do a nice line in designery products and t-shirts.
