Graphic Designer/Illustrator - Remote In-house role at Gaming Client
We’re a social and end-to-end content production agency. Since 2008 we’ve been building an integrated, digital-first offering that combines content excellence with channel best practice to drive performance across our client base.
As a values-driven agency, our people are our power. We stay ahead of the game by hiring smart thinkers and giving them back what they put in: through rapid progression, industry-leading benefits and a culture which has been named in Campaign’s Best Places to Work for 7 years running.
We’re looking for a Graphic Designer/Illustrator to join our in-house team and work for one of our top gaming clients and work with their Marketing Studio. This is a fully remote role so you have to be comfortable working from home.
We’re looking for a versatile creative generalist - someone who’s comfortable designing standout static visuals, as well as crafting slick motion. This is a mid-level role for a hands-on creative who enjoys working in a collaborative & fast-paced environment. You'll have a solid understanding of design fundamentals - typography, layout, composition, and storytelling.
You’ll work across a variety of marketing touch-points - social media, in-game marketing and brand moments - helping bring our games to life in ways that engage and excite players around the world.
Embedded within our client's organisation, you'll have the best of both worlds - access to learning from one of the biggest gaming companies in the world, with all the benefits and perks of eight&four agency culture.
You'll be a solid midweight Graphic Designer/Illustrator, who's able to both work independently and with a range of different client stakeholders. You're calm under pressure, mature in difficult situations, and a problem solver both in your work and when work isn't going to plan. In short you're a professional grown up - excellent at your craft, and a solid team player for what will be an expansive team.
Key responsibilities:
- Take ownership of marketing assets from ideation through to final delivery, across both motion and static formats.
- Work closely with a Senior Creative to turn briefs into strong creative concepts, then execute with attention to detail and craft.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams and stakeholders, communicating clearly on progress and priorities.
- Proactively flag risks, timings, and blockers to keep projects running smoothly.
- Iterate on work based on feedback, balancing speed, quality, and performance.
