CALLING ALL CREATIVES – want to work with an award-winning island agency producing leading design work for local and national clients
A bit about us
We are a multi-award-winning web and graphic design agency based on the Isle of Wight in a beautiful semi-rural purpose built office on the award-winning sustainable development that is Branstone Farm.
As a small, friendly team, we punch well above our weight with a diverse portfolio of clients ranging from hospitality to food producers, technology to manufacturing, historic buildings to adventure parks, marine to clothing and retail.
People and kindness are at the heart of everything we do so we’re looking for another super lovely person to join our fab team! #CouldBeYou
More about the role
Sunny, bright, positive, adaptable, talented graphic designer seeking new challenges and freedom to expand their creativity…. Sound like you?!
We are looking for someone who wants to build a successful and rewarding career, as well as someone who enjoys fun and getting involved in more than just the standard day-to-day run of cranking out design layouts.
