Sound Familiar?
The Media Recruitment Challenge — and the Solution
The Problem
- Creative and commercial vacancies open for months while campaigns stall and client relationships suffer
- Generic recruiters who confuse a Brand Strategist with a Brand Manager — and send you the wrong one
- Portfolios that look impressive on screen but reveal a lack of genuine commercial understanding in interview
- Senior creative hires who leave within six months because the culture or creative direction was not right
- No understanding of niche disciplines — programmatic, broadcast production, or PR account management
- Shortlists built around availability, not suitability
The Maple Solution
- Every candidate assessed for creative depth, commercial judgment, and cultural fit before you see them
- Specialists who understand the difference between an Art Director brief and a Creative Director mandate
- Access to 100,000+ verified UK media and advertising professionals across six disciplines
- Shortlist of 3-5 candidates with detailed profiles covering creative background and commercial track record
- Executive search capability for Creative Director, MD, and Board-level appointments
- 12-week placement guarantee — because we stand behind every hire we make

Creative & Commercial Profiling
Every shortlisted candidate is presented with a detailed profile covering creative portfolio, commercial track record, and sector-specific experience — not just a CV and a showreel link.
