Creative Designer

WANTED: A CREATIVE UNICORN

(Creative Designer — Campaign Edge Sprout)

Let's be honest, we know what we're after and we are prepared to wait for the right person. We are looking for a unicorn who can concept a brand identity before lunch, apply it into a Facebook event by 2pm, attend a client meeting, and still have the energy to be passionate about typography at 5:30pm before heading out the door.

If you're the type who's happy in an administrative environment and reaching for your car keys at 4:21, close this tab now this is not the job for you. We need someone who's still deep in a design file muttering "just one more tweak,” and double checking the PMS colour before they shut down because they actually care and the day has flown by without watching the clock.

What you'll be doing:

• Juggling a client list so diverse you'll need a Streamtime dashboard to keep track of the briefs (event marketing, way-finding, corporate brand, social media campaign, a boutique gin brand all in one day)

• Turning "we need this by COB" into your personal love language

• Taking a client brief, doing the creative and outputting - start to finish.

• Working in a supported creative agency that feels like you are sitting in a contemporary art gallery

• Branding, event marketing, digital campaigns, and application design, basically anything on a digital screen, a phone, a sign, a wall or a surface you can print on.

• Bonus points if you can make a responsive WordPress site look absolutely stunning and do what you want it to do (we know, this is a big ask but that's why we are looking for a unicorn)

What you won't be doing:

• Waiting for the day to end

• Saying "that's not really my area”

• Palming work off to a junior

• Getting bored

Who you are:

A experienced creative designer and a genuine hybrid; equal parts strategist, designer, and adrenaline junkie for great design and a solid work ethic. You must be a people person. Everyone has access to the same gear we have but it’s our people that make us SPROUT. You will be thrown in the deep end and working with an experienced creative team. If you haven’t branded a whole freight company, a national award winning festival or an entire museum exhibition and the only thing missing is the opportunity, we have a spot for you, You must have a c class drivers licence, know your way around a MAC and the full ADOBE suite without trainer wheels. You think different, don't just meet briefs - you interrogate them, question the status quo and excel we want you. You've got an opinion on people who use comic sans and you're not afraid to share it. You thrive on variety because doing the same thing twice sounds like a personal insult and with your experience you don’t need the practice doing five layout options for a single DL.

If this sounds like fun for you (and you're already mentally redesigning and rewriting this ad), send your folio to the most experienced agency in Darwin and throw your creative hat in the ring. Just don't be surprised if we ask you to tackle an annual report straight after the interview.
