Mid / Senior Project Manager

At Two Times Elliott, we design with informed consideration. Using a balance of strategy and design, all of our outcomes are underpinned by a worldly concept; whether social, environmental, psychological, historical, cultural or purely symbolic. We believe this layers a richness into the process, the thinking and the result, which is always full, but reductive – ensuring only purposeful elements find their way 'onto the page'.

With our client objectives and their end-user in mind, our strategic process begins with primary research that informs the articulation of brand positioning and market placement. In most instances, this also uncovers a wide range of collateral and initiatives that help brands both speak to and meet the needs of their audience/s.

Our design acumen is transferable, and has seen us produce successfully across brand identity, art direction, digital, product and packaging, campaigns, interiors, activations and so on. And, our holistic view of business and branding means we are a useful brand partner – supportive and attentive – with access to a creative community that assembles challenge to challenge.
