Great work starts with the right people.
Recruitment for creative, content and media professionals.
We take a craft-first approach to every search. Whether you need a day-rate freelancer or a permanent editorial director, we bring the same care and attention to the quality of the work. Most creative placements fail because the recruiter could not evaluate what they were looking at. Our consultants have direct experience in creative, content, and media — which means we can read a portfolio, assess a strategy, and understand the difference between technically competent and genuinely talented.
About Narrative Talent
Narrative Talent places creative professionals in the roles where they do their best work. We specialise in content, editorial, design, and media — working with publishers, agencies, in-house creative teams, and production companies across the UK. We're interested in craft, not just credentials.
Our consultants came from creative backgrounds before moving into recruitment — which gives us an unusual perspective on what good looks like. We've briefed designers, edited writers, and commissioned photographers. That experience is why our clients trust us to assess the work, not just the CV, and why the candidates we place tend to stay.
We Know the Work
Our consultants have backgrounds in creative industries. We can read a portfolio, understand a brief, and recognise genuine talent.
Long-term Relationships
Most of our clients have worked with us for years. We know their culture and their creative standards, which means better shortlists for everyone.
Freelance and Permanent
Whether you need a day-rate designer or a full-time Creative Director, we can help.
