We are Landor. World-leading brand experts, underpinned by the most expansive strategic & creative capabilities in our category. We make brands more valuable and less vulnerable. We build brands differently. We work with our clients to define and solve their business problems through the lens of brand. We strategically join the dots between our design, experience, governance and measurement capabilities, and always connect our brand work to business outcomes. Landor companies also include amp (sonic branding), bdg (workplace & architectural experts), Deep Local (creative technologists) and ManvsMachine (3D motion design). We are part of WPP.

What you’ll do

As a Midweight Designer, you'll be a key player in our creative team, helping us deliver amazing design by:

• Dreaming up fresh, unique ideas and solving creative puzzles with original thinking to create striking and compelling designs.
• Working closely with Design Directors and the wider team to brainstorm and deliver creative solutions that truly hit the mark for our clients.
• Diving deep into conceptual exploration, exploring all avenues to find the best design solutions and ensuring we've considered every angle.
• Assessing design options and really pushing the creative boundaries to come up with breakthrough ideas that align with our strategy and briefs.
• Helping to shape smart, innovative design strategies and plans.
• Collaborating with our internal teams and clients, sharing your passion for brilliant branding, packaging, motion, and visual communication.
• Being quick on your feet, contributing ideas, and inspiring those around you.

What you’ll need

To thrive in this role, you'll bring:

• Previous design experience within a brand or design agency.
• Solid experience working with consumer brands, especially in FMCG and packaging.
• You'll know your way around creating brands and products, from initial strategy and concept right through to launch.
• A good grasp of the details involved in managing product messages, pack hierarchies, and how to make ranges easy to navigate.
• You're an absolute pro with Adobe Creative Suite, especially Photoshop and Illustrator.
• A portfolio that really shines, full of recent work that shows off your knack for generating and developing creative ideas.
• A genuine interest in how digital and new tech can be woven into brand stories in smart, impactful ways.
• You're always up-to-date with the latest creative and design trends, and you know how to apply them.
• Great communication skills – you can chat confidently with clients and collaborate easily with our team.

We believe the best work happens when we're together, fostering creativity, collaboration, and connection. That's why we’ve adopted a hybrid approach, with teams in the office around four days a week. If you require accommodations or flexibility, please discuss this with the hiring team during the interview process.

We build brands. We build futures. Landor, a WPP company, is an equal opportunity employer. We consider all applicants without discrimination or regard to particular characteristics, committed to a culture of respect where everyone belongs and can progress in their careers.
