The Role

As a Temporary Visual Designer, you will lead the visual development of a live-stream content series designed to build momentum and engagement ahead of multiple live events. The campaign features a personality-led format centered on learning about collectibles and how to sell, with content captured and crafted into a range of video deliverables across paid and organic platforms.

You will be responsible for establishing the overall look and feel of the program and translating it into a cohesive system of visual assets that scale across live, social, and digital environments.

• Support a multi-phase campaign promoting a series of live-stream events, including pre-event hype, live moments, and post-event amplification
• Collaborate with editors and motion designers to ensure seamless translation of design into video deliverables
• Partner with Creative Directors, Copywriters, Strategists, and Producers to concept and execute integrated ideas
• Ensure visual consistency and brand integrity across all touchpoints
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment

Basic Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in visual design, preferably within an agency or content-driven environment
• A strong portfolio demonstrating campaign-based work across social, digital, and video
• Proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign)
• Experience designing for video or live-stream environments (e.g., lower thirds, overlays, end cards)
• Strong foundation in typography, layout, color, and visual hierarchy
• Understanding of motion design principles and how static design translates into animation
• Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines effectively
• Strong communication and collaboration skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Working knowledge of After Effects or motion design workflows
• Experience supporting integrated campaigns across paid and organic social channels
• Familiarity with live or event-based content programming
