Job description

We’re looking for a creative and versatile Integrated Graphic Designer with strong motion design skills and a passion for creating engaging advertising across digital and traditional channels.

You’ll work closely with Creatives, Strategists, Producers, Designers, Sales and wider teams to bring client briefs to life, creating high-quality motion and static assets across social, web, TV, out-of-home, print and other digital formats.

Our Team: How we enrich everyday life:

The Integrated Graphic Designer is responsible for creating high-quality, visually compelling advertising assets for Bauer Media Audio UK clients across multiple channels, including social, web, TV, out-of-home, print and other digital formats. This is an integrated design role with motion/animation at its core: the ideal candidate will be a strong Motion Designer who is also confident producing polished static design work, particularly for digital environments.

Working as part of Bauer Create, the role brings together motion graphics, digital design, art direction and production craft to deliver effective creative campaigns for commercial clients. By collaborating closely with Creative, Create and production teams, the Integrated Graphic Designer will help turn client briefs into engaging, platform-ready assets that are on brand, on brief and built to perform across the full campaign journey.

The Difference you will make:

Your role:

Integrated Advertising & Asset Creation:

• Create high-quality motion and static advertising assets for Bauer clients across social, web, TV, out-of-home, print and wider digital channels.
• Translate client briefs and campaign ideas into visually engaging creative that works across multiple formats, placements and audience touchpoints.
• Develop animation, layout, typography, visual treatments and design systems that support integrated campaign delivery.
• Ensure all design outputs are accurate, platform-ready and delivered to the required technical specifications.

Motion Design & Animation:

• Storyboard, conceptualise and produce animated advertising assets, from short-form social motion through to video-led campaign executions.
• Use motion graphics to bring campaign ideas to life in a way that feels clear, creative and commercially effective.
• Adapt moving-image creative for multiple platforms, ensuring assets are formatted appropriately for each channel.

Static Design:

• Produce polished static design work for digital formats, including social, display assets, web graphics, digital campaign materials and presentation visuals.
• Apply strong layout, typography, image treatment and brand design principles to create clear, effective visual communication.
• Rework, resize and version creative assets for different channels while maintaining consistency and quality.

Creative Collaboration:

• Work closely with Creatives, Producers, Designers, Sales, Branded Content and Digital teams to shape campaign ideas and deliver strong visual solutions.
• Contribute design thinking and visual ideas from brief-take through to pitch, production and final delivery.
• Take feedback constructively and respond quickly to amends while protecting the quality and clarity of the creative output.
• Support colleagues with creative problem-solving, visual references and design guidance where needed.

Brand, Client & Campaign Standards:

• Deliver work that reflects client brand guidelines, Bauer standards and campaign objectives.
• Ensure outputs are proofed, checked and supplied in the correct formats for internal teams, clients and media partners.
• Maintain consistency across integrated campaigns, ensuring motion and static assets feel part of the same creative idea.

Workflow & Delivery:

• Manage design tasks across multiple briefs and deadlines, balancing speed, accuracy and creative quality.
• Organise files, versions and project assets clearly so work can be shared, reviewed, amended and archived efficiently.

AI Tools & Innovation:

• Use AI tools thoughtfully to support the design process, including concept development, visual exploration, storyboarding, asset versioning and workflow efficiency.
• Apply creative judgement to AI-assisted outputs, ensuring all final work is original, brand-appropriate, legally usable and aligned to Bauer’s creative standards.
• Stay curious about emerging design, motion and production technologies that can improve the quality, speed and effectiveness of integrated creative work.
• Share useful tools, workflows and best practice with colleagues to help build innovation across the Creative team.

Pitch Support & Presentation Design:

• Create visually engaging pitch materials, mock-ups and presentation assets that help bring creative ideas to life for clients.
• Contribute visual thinking and design craft that strengthens Bauer’s creative response to client briefs.

Platform & Format Awareness:

• Maintain a strong understanding of how creative performs across social, web, TV, OOH, print and other campaign channels.
• Design with audience behaviour, platform conventions, technical specs and campaign objectives in mind.
• Keep up to date with trends in motion, digital advertising, social content and visual communication.

Continuous Learning & Professional Development:

• Proactively develop skills across motion design, static digital design, Adobe Creative Cloud and emerging creative technologies.
• Seek feedback from colleagues and stakeholders to improve creative quality, efficiency and commercial impact.

The Skills you will bring:

• Motion design craft: Strong motion graphics capability, with a good working knowledge of Illustrator, After Effects and the ability to storyboard, animate and conceive moving-image creative.
• Adobe Creative Suite expertise: Skilled in relevant creative tools including After Effects, Illustrator and Photoshop, with Premiere Pro, digital illustration or broader video-editing skills desirable.
• Integrated design skills: Confident creating both motion and static assets, particularly for digital channels, with strong layout, typography, image treatment and visual hierarchy skills.
• Commercial creativity: Able to turn client briefs into engaging advertising assets that are imaginative, brand-appropriate and effective across multiple campaign channels.
• Collaboration: Builds strong working relationships with Creatives, Designers, Project Managers, Sales and wider project teams, contributing positively from brief through to delivery.
• Organisation and pace: Comfortable managing a busy workload, prioritising multiple projects and delivering accurate, high-quality work in a time-pressured environment.
• Attention to detail: Maintains a keen eye for brand consistency, production standards, file accuracy and final delivery specifications.
• Experience: This would suit a junior to middleweight integrated designer. Ideally at least 1 year in a studio/agency environment with relevant experience designing for marketing/advertising/branded content. Experience in Motion Design is essential.
