Job Description
This position will design and create motion design/animation for promos, packaging and other on-air/digital assets. The Associate Designer must be able to conceive, design and execute within our brands as well as work off creative briefs and/or style frames provided by others under tight deadlines. The ability to collaborate with producers, art directors and other designers is essential.
The Associate Designer position falls between Design Apprentice and Designer – whereas apprentices primarily provide assist-type support and are tasked with iterating or expanding on existing setups and assets, the Associate Designer is entrusted to build content from scratch, based on notes and designs from leads, supervisors, and partners, incorporating feedback throughout the approval process and addressing notes to take the projects to the finish line.
While working closely with others on the brands team, producers and other creatives, the Associate Designer gains essential experience and develops an understanding of our process and workflow. Through practice and mentorship, the Associate Designer is given opportunities to strengthen their creative eye, learn visual storytelling, and develop cutting edge technical skills.
