Junior Designer - Brand Hackers
Want to design for brands you're proud to tell your friends and family about? We've got you.
Hey! We're Brand Hackers.
We help challenger brands fight smarter, think sharper, and win bigger.
We build experienced, dynamic and fractional teams that fit in like puzzle pieces – providing just the right knowledge and energy at the right time. We’re not your typical agency or a one-man show; we're a team of passionate professionals who eat, sleep, and breathe branding and marketing.
Our diverse team of experts covers all marketing mix elements, from brand strategy and social media to performance and web development and beyond and with over 100 brands under our belt, our Brand Hackers have a treasure trove of shared experiences. This wealth of knowledge fuels our creativity and gives us the edge.
We’re 4 years old and have grown from just 2 of us to 20+ people with knock-out case studies we’re really proud of and a serious growing reputation (even if we say so ourselves).
Beyond FMCG, we're building iconic challenger brands across Beauty, Luxury, Film, and more working with big challengers like Tony’s Chocolonely and emerging hot startups like Seep. From customer insights and brand strategy to campaign planning and comms strategy, our team tackles a wide range of briefs.
To match our momentum, we're looking for a Junior Designer to join our Brand pod.
You will...
Produce paid ad creative and social media graphics across multiple brands and formats
Design campaign artwork from the brief through to the final deliverable
Create trade marketing materials, including POS, shelf talkers, sell sheets, and retailer assets
Design reports, presentations, and pitch decks that make people actually want to read them
Work within brand guidelines and help maintain consistency across all touchpoints
Support the Senior Designer on larger campaign projects
Manage your own time and deadlines across multiple brands simultaneously
Bring a point of view - we want designers who care, not just operators
You’ll also support our wider group of companies with the materials they need (We also have a recruitment business and marketing community)..
You’ll have...
A solid grasp of core design principles - hierarchy, balance, contrast, and white space - and an understanding of why they matter
Adobe Creative Suite proficiency - Illustrator, Figma and InDesign are non-negotiable
A keen interest / demonstrable experience in Premiere Pro / After Effects is desirable but not essential
Working knowledge of print production - bleed, cutter guides, safe zones, and colour profiles (CMYK vs RGB)
A strong eye for typography - kerning, tracking, leading, and type pairing
Canva fluency for fast turnaround assets - though you'll know when a template isn't enough
A portfolio that demonstrates genuine design thinking, not just template execution
The humility to take feedback and the confidence to push back when you're right

A Senior Designer to learn from, not just be delegated to by
