Job description

Founded in 2008, The MRG Group is Canada's largest independent entertainment company and a leader in experience creation. Our mission is to bring experiences to life for creators, fans, brands, and partners.

The MRG Group is an integrated network of companies operating across the hospitality, venue, media, ticketing (including the ticketing service AdmitONE), and insurance sectors. With a portfolio of 18 hospitality properties across Canada, The MRG Group also owns and operates an events business, a travel company, and a digital publication.

Who You Are:

You are a creative digital designer with a sharp instinct for hospitality, live music, and trend-driven media. You know how to blend strong creative storytelling with a conversion-focused design mindset, seamlessly moving between static digital design, print production, and short form video production. Exceptionally organized and adaptable, you thrive in collaborative environments, taking full ownership of creative assets from initial concept through final execution. Additionally, you are proactive brand guardians who combine meticulous attention to detail and file management with a forward-thinking curiosity for emerging design tools, social trends, and digital formats.

What You’ll Work On:

As a Designer, you will be the visual storyteller who turns creative briefs into high-converting digital assets. On a daily basis, you will collaborate closely with the Lead Graphic Designer and marketing teams to produce stunning, scroll-stopping visual media. Your days will be spent designing everything from sleek hospitality programming assets to high-impact paid social ads, artist advertising material, and short-form video content. You will own assets from creative concept to final file delivery, ensuring that MRG’s premium, experience-driven brand identity is consistently reflected across every screen and customer touchpoint.

• Visual Asset Creation: Conceptualize and design high-quality graphic assets for digital and print media, including paid social media campaigns (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook), web banners, and editorial email layouts.
• Bespoke Collateral Design: Produce polished, customer-facing digital assets such as luxury proposal templates, customized travel itineraries, and sales presentations that elevate the client experience.
• Multi-Media Production: Knowledge in editing short-form video content, animations, and motion graphics considered a big plus. Specifically tailored for trend-driven social platforms.
• Brand Asset Maintenance: Act as a guardian of the brand identity, ensuring typography, color palettes, image treatments, and overall visual messaging remain unified and up to standard across all sub-brands.
• File & Pipeline Management: Organize and maintain clean, collaborative design source folders and asset cloud storage. Prioritize and execute your design queues inside our project tracking software (Asana).
• Trend Integration: Continually research and implement modern design treatments, photography trends, AI tools, and social media formats to keep MRG Travel’s creative output fresh and innovative.

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience: 2–4 years of professional graphic design experience within a digital marketing agency, creative studio, or an in-house corporate marketing team. Experience working with travel, lifestyle, or entertainment brands is highly preferred.
• Elite Portfolio: A strong digital portfolio demonstrating exceptional layout execution, typography choices, color theory, and a modern, premium design aesthetic. Examples of social media video editing or motion design are a significant asset.
• Software Stack Mastery: Advanced, hands-on proficiency with the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro/After Effects) and collaborative design software like Figma or Canva.
• Sprint & Task Efficiency: Proven ability to manage a high-volume design queue, self-edit against detailed creative briefs, and meet quick-turnaround marketing deadlines utilizing platforms like Asana.
• Core Competencies: A collaborative, thick-skinned creative who takes constructive feedback well and can pivot designs easily. You possess a strong eye for detail, an organized workflow, and a genuine passion for travel and culture.

What’s In It For You?

• Competitive compensation.
• Opportunities for growth in a dynamic, fast-paced organization.
• A collaborative culture that celebrates creativity and innovation.
• Access to unique experiences across The MRG Group’s diverse portfolio, including discounts at our hospitality properties and access to MRG live shows and events (free concerts!)
