We’re not gonna lie, this job ad contains graphic content… we also love a pun but that one stinks, sorry.
The Misfits is a full service agency creating brand stories and customer connections. We offer owned channels to market as well as creative, digital and event services.
About the role
We’re seeking a creative digital designer / art director that loves brand and visual content creation.
This key role will fit into and potentially lead our Creative Services team of 4 designers. So, small enough for autonomy and creative control, but big enough to have support.
The daily tasks vary hugely. We produce, shoot and edit videos. We design event branding for tech conferences, award shows and consumer engagements. This gets rolled out across print, social, email and digital channels.
We also create motion graphic assets for content campaigns like this: https://www.bandt.com.au/youtube-audiences-culture-trends/ (sorry Seek doesn’t allow links, so 🍏c 🍎v people.)
