Freelance Concept Designer

We need a concept designer who can turn a brief into a campaign idea and see it through to approved artwork ready to give to the production team for roll out. You'll join our London creative team on a short-term contract, working on shows, museums and cultural brands.This client is one of the UK's leading creative, media and marketing agencies for culture, entertainment and destinations. Thier clients include Evita, Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Paddington the Musical and the Donmar.The work. Most of our projects start with key art: the single image and title treatment that defines a show, exhibition or campaign. You'll develop routes from the brief, working with the Art Director on the idea, the styling and the title treatment. Once approved, the key art becomes the base for everything else. We adapt it into portrait and landscape layouts, then roll it out across print, out-of-home, web, email, social and ticket-agent assets. Every format needs the same idea, the same look and the right message for its audience. Producers and rights holders often set billing and approval rules, so you'll design within them.

• Design across print, digital and out-of-home
• Present ideas to the Art Director and respond to feedback
• Hand over clean, well-organised files to our artworkers
• Join brainstorms and pitch work when needed

• Confident with the Adobe Creative Cloud
• Comfortable on fast turnarounds and tight deadlines
• Clear communicator who works well with account teams

Nice to have

• Experience in theatre, arts, culture or entertainment
