Though most importantly, we want to see the real you.

We work with huge international clients like Comcast, Coca Cola, Barclays and Tesco and are responsible for building and executing their employer brands - from strategy and messaging to visual direction and campaign rollout. The challenge of the Mid-Weight Designer is to work with our brands strategists and creatives to shape a visual identity that sits alongside the client’s consumer or corporate brand, while speaking to their talent audience.
