Junior Designer

First of all; Who are we and why do we exist?

Addmustard is a brand, marketing and technology agency for entrepreneurs. 

From world-class research, creative, marketing, data and customer technology, we help our clients join up their brand, marketing, and technology to build tangible value in their businesses.

We are a team of 50 brilliant brand, marketing and technology experts: a core in-house team based in Soho, London. And another in Brighton, Sussex. Supported by a network of specialists from around the world.

And who exactly are we looking for?

We’re looking for a flourishing Junior Designer to join our extraordinary creative team. Probably a recent graduate or someone who has 1-2 years’ experience in a graphic design related role, but who either way has a breath-taking and impressive portfolio of professional or personal projects that will knock us off our feet.

Guided by our Creative Director and Senior Designers, you will be part of an award-winning team who will help develop and hone your skills across a wide range of creative disciplines, from website and app design, to the development of a massive spectrum of brands, from start-ups to global, entrepreneurial businesses. You will support the design and execution of creative marketing campaigns, alongside a number of key responsibilities including creation of still and moving social ads, UX and UI work across web pages, apps and email campaigns, assisting with brand work; including creation of mood boards through to brand guidelines and branded collateral, and amplifying the look and feel of our proposals and presentations.

You will be encouraged to collaborate with the wider team of strategists, planners, tech, marketing and data analysts on a variety of creative projects, contributing ideas and opinions on everything from logo designs to innovative ways of displaying website content and visualising a brand message. Working alongside a team who are bloody good at what they do, you will be mentored and trained on the job, and challenged to develop your skills rapidly. 

Our portfolio comprises a number of entrepreneurial businesses and high growth brands executing ground-breaking campaigns across all marketing channels, so our ideal candidate will thrive when juggling multiple projects, always delivering results on time and to exceptional quality. 

What cuts our mustard?

• Exceptional creative flair and passion for beautiful design.

• An original and innovative mind, always searching for a better way to communicate, inspire and delight.

• Keen interest in user experience and user interface design: always questioning the best ways for customers and users to interact and digest content.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

• Good organisational skills with the ability to prioritise, multi-task, and work to deadlines.

• Approachable, adaptable, and up for a challenge.

• Experience working in Figma, adobe XD and Adobe Creative Suite: InDesign, Illustrator, PhotoShop.

How are we different?

We’re different in so many ways.

We understand the unique pressures and challenges of funding and growing an entrepreneurial business. 

We work on performance fee structures, aligning us with our clients’ financial objectives. So they can make intelligent marketing and technology investment decisions, grow their businesses profitably and build tangible, balance sheet value in their brands.

We take all of this very seriously. But you’ll be pleased to know, we take ourselves a little less seriously.

What does that mean for you?

We pride ourselves on being straight-talking, diligent, good value and innovative in everything we do for our entrepreneurial clients. Equally, we pride ourselves in being open, honest, innovative and hard working in everything we do for our team.

You'll be surrounded and supported by a team who embolden and challenge you to go into every day with those values in mind. We’ve built (and are very proud of) our completely flat and integrated organisational structure – we don’t care where the good ideas come from, as long as they can be turned into something astonishing and tangible.

And when those ideas get made, we love nothing more than to celebrate them.

What’s in it for you? 

In return for your experience, creativity and incredible mind, you can expect:

• To work alongside and be trained by industry experts at the forefront of brand, marketing and technology.

• Unlimited holiday.

• Flexi time: flexible working hours and hybrid working structure, sharing your time between working from home and our offices in Brighton’s Laines and eclectic Soho.

• £500 personal training budget, allocated every 6 months. You decide how and where to spend it. Providing it’s helping your career. 

• Pension scheme, gym membership and ride to work scheme.

• Be part of an amazing, sociable and supportive team with far too frequent socials.

• Our senior management is accessible, open, honest and transparent. This means we all care about you and your development, progression, success and happiness. And we regularly share financial, team, and client performance with the whole agency.
