Designer

Hi, we're looking for a designer/art director with an edge and a heart. You'll be obsessed with subculture and passionate about creating work that's unique. We're open to midweight and senior level applications, with a salary of £50k+ depending on experience.

Weirdo is an independent agency founded in 2020 for a world where no one is normal. That means we believe the mainstream is dead and we help our clients use subculture and storytelling to grow their customer base and stay relevant.

We work with brands like Arsenal Football Club, lululemon, Bumble, Gymshark, Acast and Nike. Most of the organisations we work with are progressive brands in sport, entertainment and music, as well as some amazing charities working to create a fairer world.

So where do you come in?

Well firstly, we value attitude, courage and work ethic as much as skills and experience but here are the main things you’ll need to do:

• Develop beautiful campaign and brand identities
• Take big-picture concepts and transform them into visually distinctive campaign assets, crafted with precision and care
• Prepare compelling presentations for clients and deliver these in person with confidence and clarity
• Explore sub-cultures and emerging trends, bringing those references into our work‍
• Push for more inclusive and accessible design solutions and guide our clients on that journey
• Communicate with clients and colleagues to ensure projects are delivered smoothly and to the highest quality

In terms of your skills, we'll expect you to:

• Have strong evidence of creative and design skill
• Proven love for creativity and subculture
• An interest in some combination of sport, fashion and music
• Strong layout, colour and type skills
• Excellent knowledge of Illustrator, Photoshop and Indesign
• Proficient in AfterEffects
• Nice to haves: some experience with 3D, Cavalry, and photo/video shoots

You'll also have the opportunity to:

• Represent Weirdo at events
• Develop a unique identity for the studio
