The speed read:
This small but mighty design agency produces thoughtful graphic and motion design for large b2b clients and is looking for a really solid motion generalist to lead and build a motion desk.
The facts:
You may be a senior designer ready for a step up, or already a DD. Either way you want to learn or bring extra skills such as managing freelance resource, seeing projects more in the round and increasing the agency’s use of new and emerging tech to get the best results for your clients.
They are blessed with a large trusting client in the fintech space that let them iterate and explore what is possible, test and develop. This won’t be the only client you will work on, but it's a significant one.
We think it will take about 6 months to get your head around their main client’s suite of products and then you will like a duck in water. You will be supported as you learn.
It’s all kinds of motion work including animation, explainer videos, campaigns, infographics etc.
You’ll be:
- Working daily with thoughtful and intelligent graphic designers that want your input and steer. You can pick up the thread of an idea and develop it.
- Comfortable with a light touch brief and good at working iteratively. You like to ask questions and bring cleverness and insight to the gaps. This isn’t bad or lazy briefing, it’s a client that trusts the agency on what it already knows about them and will push and challenge them to do something different and interesting that’s right for the project.
- Naturally curious and interested in how things work. Most projects demand your thinking and input on how best to tell the story. You will need to get your head around technical b2b propositions and turn them into something smart and engaging.
- Interested in emerging tech and how this can build out the agency’s offer
- Happy being hands on some of the time and directing freelancers the rest of it.
- Happy to be in a studio 2 or 3 days a week (very central location)
- Sometimes working with live footage to create video animations, so also art directing the process to make sure everything is captured in shoot.
- Storyboarding to a decent standard
- Editing and grading footage to a good standard
- Open to leading and steer the agency’s own marketing efforts
You’ll have:
- AfterEffects 2d and 3d, Cinema 4d and you can bring others. The agency will build you the tech stack you need. Cinema 4d is a must-have and some AE is preferable. If you’ve done character rigging, that would give you an advantage. You will also be able to bring in the best freelancers to support your ideas and get things made and fill in any tech gaps.
- A showreel to share on application, that shows an interesting range of projects
- B2B experience. But if you have interesting b2c stories to tell that have good content in, then we are open to that too.
- Possibly worked in the tech or fintech space client side, producing lots of different motion content and want to move agency side or worked agency side on projects and now want to develop a more rounded skill set.
- The chance to work with a really lovely small team and feel a part of something worthwhile. Great grown up work/life balance and a nice studio.
