• An established creative agency based in Gqeberha, working across local, national and international clients on brand, campaign and multi-platform briefs that actually challenge you.

• Expert-level Adobe Creative Suite: InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop
• Proficient on Mac
• Strong understanding of layout, typography and visual hierarchy

Responsibilities:

• Design across print, digital and social campaign formats
• Work from concept through to final production and file packaging
