B&Q Website Smart Careers Website

When the world ground to a halt for the first time in history, there was one trusty brand who refused to stand still.

B&Q Website

After helping B&Q launch their new employer brand, Together We Can, we needed to make sure every candidate and colleague could live the brand experience online.

So, we built them a careers site that would help users get to know B&Q, without a foot ever crossing the threshold.

 

This was more than a quick paint job.

We helped every user say farewell to endless searching, irrelevant content and boring job descriptions.

And say hello to slick site design, crafted copy and tons of tailored content that would immerse them into B&Q’s culture.
