Content Assistant
Job Description
The Company
The Brand Identity is an independent graphic design resource with a global reach. We aim to empower the graphic design industry and those operating within it by providing a consistent, diverse and easy-to-use platform, made for all.
On a weekly basis, we publish a refined selection of articles about the best graphic design projects, as well as interviews and insights with the studios, agencies and designers behind them. We also form partnerships with brands we believe in to create bespoke editorial series, and to share products we believe are important and relevant to the graphic design industry. Furthermore, we produce an ever-expanding range of our own products such as books and mockups.
We passionately take pride in valuing quality over quantity and do not believe that only the latest matters; instead we hope to be an inspirational, informative and fundamentally useful resource for everyone interested in the graphic design of the past, present and future.
The Role
We’re looking for a creative, organised and precise individual to join our team for 3 days per week to prepare and schedule the visual content for our website, social media and newsletter, as well as occasionally assist with design-related tasks.
Curation is at the core of what we do, so an eye for detail and the ability to creatively interpret visual assets in line with our existing templates and systems is essential. Due to the nature of our content, this requires a good understanding of the creative industry and its terminology, particularly that related to graphic design. You will need to be proactive, motivated and happy to work independently and collaboratively.
An understanding of typesetting, as well as software such as Figma and Adobe Creative Suite (primarily Photoshop and After Effects) is required.
The Responsibilities
- Selecting, making and resizing visual assets using Figma, Photoshop and After Effects.
- Building articles in our website’s CMS, including their order, layout, links and tags.
- Curating and making social media posts (Instagram, Reels, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn) using our existing templates and systems.
- Making our weekly newsletter in Mailchimp.
- Scheduling our articles, social media posts and newsletter.
- Preparing social media captions using existing content and templates.
- Assisting with small creative tasks when occasionally required.

Our core team is based in Norwich, UK, so local applicants with a view to some office-based days would be considered.
