• Proven experience working with recognised B2C retail or consumer brands.
• Experience designing across multiple channels, including social, digital, CRM, campaigns, print and physical or retail environments.

• Apply social and digital design across platforms
• Create social-native assets, not just resized campaigns
• Apply social-first content principles and platform behaviours
• Own briefs from concept to delivery
• Present ideas clearly in writing and verbally
